“I am a mother of five grown children and six grandchildren. While my background is not in education, I bring a unique perspective to reading and dyslexic tutoring because I am dyslexic. I struggled with reading throughout childhood and most of my adult life until becoming aware that the science of reading can help one to develop the skills required to read and write. The Brain Friendly Reading program enabled me to acquire the skills I needed.
I am very passionate about this work because I did not get the reading help I needed until I became an adult. I had to heal from the emotional wounds I suffered during my own educational experiences so I can empathize with what you or your child are going through. Helping children to develop the skills they need to realize their potential gives me great joy. I absolutely love this work!”

“I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Trinity University and a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Houston.

Brain Friendly Reading is a unique reading and spelling program that works for all learners. The best part of every session is playing the games - my students ask to play them again and again! It’s amazing what winning Go Fish does for a reader’s confidence! I’m committed to helping as many children as possible move up the reading ladder. ”
Accepting students in-person in Houston, Texas.
Each tutor is trained in how to move your child up the ladder of reading, regardless of their age or ability.
Tutors follow a systematic phonics approach that is engaging for the child. It matches how the brain learns to read, so that even if your child has had highly quality evidence-based instruction at school, they will benefit from the Brain Friendly Reading™ Orton-Gillingham based approach.
Tutors typically work with children one or two times a week in 1-hour sessions that include both time with the child and time helping you to understand what to do in between sessions for maximum growth.
Every tutor is an independent contractor and not employed by WSR for tutoring services. They set their own rates and hours.
Contact individual tutors for availability and to schedule your first appointment.
