Welcome

I am a certified Learning Specialist with a Master’s degree in Elementary and Special Education. I recently relocated to New York’s Hudson Valley after leaving my position as the head of department for learning support at a private school in Greenwich, CT.

In my practice, I use an Orton Gillingham approach to teaching students with reading difficulties and those with a dyslexia diagnosis. My multi-sensory approach incorporates spelling and writing as well as a focus on executive function. I work with students ranging from 5- to 15- years-old.

My focus is specific to my student’s needs and I do my best to incorporate their interests while collaborating with their parents and teachers. Providing students with opportunities for success is key to building self esteem, raising confidence and empowering students to take responsibility for their learning.
