Associate Level Orton-Gillingham practitioner in training

My educational and professional background have always been led by the interest and motivation to understand and adapt to how people learn.

Both through my teaching experience and work in organizations, one thing has always been clear - people do their best work and learning when you protect and build their self-confidence creating a space where they feel safe, heard and understood.

Every session is guided by that belief. My approach with students is to start where they are and build upon that in incremental steps, helping reinforce their skills and build the confidence they need to tackle their academic challenges.
