I offer specialized literacy services designed to support struggling readers and students with dyslexia. Services include dyslexia intervention tutoring grounded in structured literacy, targeted literacy tutoring for students who need explicit reading support, dyslexia screenings to identify areas of need, and literacy consulting. I also provide coaching for parents, caregivers, and homeschooling families to help them confidently support reading development at home.

Tutoring services are offered during the summer months. Coaching, consulting, and dyslexia screening assessments are available year-round.

Tutoring sessions are available in your home, at a local library, or virtually.

Services are available to elementary, middle, high school, and adult learners.

Thrive Literacy provides specialized, research-based literacy services—not general homework help. I am a certified literacy specialist with advanced training in reading disabilities and dyslexia-informed instruction.

Each lesson is intentionally designed by me, not pulled from a scripted program or pre-packaged curriculum. After every session, I carefully review instructional notes, analyze your child’s responses and progress, and design the next lesson to directly target their individual strengths and needs.

This high level of attention to detail allows instruction to remain responsive and precise, which is often what leads to meaningful growth and positive outcomes for your child’s unique learning profile. My work extends well beyond the hour (or half hour) spent with your child, and my rates reflect the level of expertise, individualized planning, and evidence-based instruction provided, as well as the limited number of students I serve to ensure high-quality, impactful instruction.
