No two learners are the same.

Learning with Dyslexia

Students with dyslexia are bright students who are capable of so many amazing things. Because their brains have been working inefficiently when it comes to reading, they need direct and specific instruction that teaches the brain to read more effectively. We can build this new, more efficient pathway with multi-sensory instruction that is systematic and success-oriented.

Finally Finding Success

Intervention with a multi-sensory structured program like Orton Gillingham is designed so that students succeed from the very beginning. Each lesson builds on the previous lesson and provides many opportunities for students to succeed. It teaches students ways to approach new or challenging words and gives them confidence and a can-do attitude. With this approach, students make steady gains in their reading and writing skills leading to better educational outcomes.

What is Orton Gillingham?

 
 
Testimonial%2BBackground%2B01.jpg

The Orton Gillingham Approach Explicitly Teaches the Connection Between Sounds and Letters

This is done in one step at a time building as the student masters each piece using multiple pathways (sight, sound, touch). Students are taught the whys and hows of reading and spelling rules so that they can approach new words with critical thinking and confidence. Each lesson is highly individualized based on student’s strengths and weaknesses as well as their level of mastery of each concept.

[He’s] walking into tutoring today reading the book he brought with him in the car! This would never have happened a few months ago and is a testament to your work with him!

“Heidi had such a gentle approach which was so helpful for my son that deals with anxiety in new situations. She praised his strengths and areas of growth and encouraged him in his weak areas. I appreciated her thoroughness and preparedness to make lessons directly addressing my son's needs and assigning clearly laid out homework assignments relating to their sessions. I would highly recommend working with Miss Heidi!“

Her compassion and input were helpful to be able to think outside the box and find the options that worked for my child. The recommendations and resources that she suggested were very helpful. After talking with Heidi, helping my struggling learner was less overwhelming.”

— Donna

"A very pleasant and compassionate educator"

“Heidi is a very pleasant and compassionate educator who wants the best for your child and the homeschooling parent. She listens intently and comes up with helps that will make your homeschooling experience a joy rather than a burden. Her knowledge with struggling learners allows her to direct you in a much more understanding and compassionate way. Thank you Heidi for sharing your compassion on struggling learners and having me understand more on how to help my child who I love dearly.”

"Made it very fun and engaging."

“We were so blessed to have Heidi work with our daughter for 6 months while we waited for her to get into a learning center for dyslexia. Heidi was very professional, patient, and kind to a 9-year-old who wanted to be anywhere else but sitting in a ‘classroom.’ She made it very fun and engaging.”
