Orton-Gillingham Tutoring Cincinnati, Ohio

Many students need the direct, explicit, and carefully scaffolded instruction that the multisensory Orton-Gillingham approach provides to become successful readers. With master’s degrees in Special Education and Reading Science, along with extensive Orton-Gillingham training and extensive supervised practicum experience, I specialize in providing individualized, diagnostic, and prescriptive lessons tailored to each student’s unique learning needs.

Through Orton Works, I have helped students throughout the Cincinnati area strengthen their reading skills, close the reading gap, and build the confidence they need to become successful readers.
