About Rebekah
Hi! I’m a certified reading intervention teacher with a background in Special Education and Science of Reading instruction.
I specialize in helping older struggling readers (Grades 3–8) who feel stuck, frustrated, or behind—especially students who:
• Can read the words but don’t understand what they’re reading
• Guess at words instead of decoding
• Avoid reading or say they “hate it”
• Have lost confidence in their abilities
My approach combines research-based instruction with my Reading Detective Method, where students learn to “crack the code” of reading step by step.
In our sessions, students become active problem-solvers as they learn how to:
Break down unfamiliar words (no more guessing)
Strengthen comprehension and thinking skills
Build fluency and confidence using age-appropriate texts
I am known for explaining concepts in multiple ways, slowing down when needed, and creating a supportive, low-pressure environment where students feel safe to learn.
This is not one-size-fits-all tutoring—each lesson is personalized to your child’s specific needs.
Online 1-on-1 sessions
Structured, engaging, and confidence-building
Designed for students who need things explained differently
If your child is struggling with reading, I’d love to help them turn things around.

My teaching style is structured, supportive, and highly individualized.
I specialize in working with students who need:
• Concepts broken down step-by-step
• Multiple explanations and guided practice
• A slower pace with built-in review
I use an age-respectful approach—no babyish materials—so older students feel comfortable and engaged.
Through my Reading Detective framework, students learn how to actively think through reading instead of guessing, which leads to stronger long-term results.
The first session includes an informal reading assessment to identify your child’s strengths and areas for growth, allowing me to create a targeted learning plan.
