About Tricia
All our certified literacy teachers are trained in the "science of reading", and Orton Gillingham certified, they use approved programs by the International Dyslexics Assoc., such as, Wilson Intensive Reading program, Barton Reading & Spelling, Lindamood Bell LiPS, Lindamood Bell Visualizing & Verbalizing. Our tutors know the Simple View of Reading by researchers Tunmer & Gough-Decoding(phonics and phonemic awareness) X Language Acquisition (vocab, syntactical)=Reading Comprehension. We assess your child to determine the deficits then, intervene with evidence-based programs to remediate the skills to fill in the gaps and bring your child to grade level or beyond.
We offer Institute for Excellence Certified Writing Instructors, who can explicitly teach the structure and stylistic techniques used in writing reports, essays and letters.
We have over 27 years of experience instructing students. Our specialists are Reading Endorsed from their states as well as hold masters degrees. In addition, many are Center for Effective Reading Instruction certified, the highest reading instructor credential in the country.
We know how to make huge gains for your child and support the whole family through the process. We offer a free Reading/Special Needs support group one Facebook- Dyslexia, Learning and Suppoort Group FL. (concealed information)

iReading TUTOR, Founder and Owner
I enjoy seeing the progress in the social/emotional side of the child as well as the academic growth through administering evidence-based interventions to my students. The progress the students make to grade level and beyond is an amazing experience for both the student and the tutor. Achieving literacy proficiency and comprehension is our goal. Education changes everything!

National Board Teaching credential, Wilson Dyslexia Specialist's, Phono-Graphix, Barton Reading & Soelling certiciation, Structured Word Inquiry, Institute for Excellence in Writing certified and Lindamood Bell trained.

We assess the students if there is not any private Neuro-psychology or school psychologist report. Unfortunately, most likely the reason your child is struggling is because most elementary school teachers have not received the necessary training to teach students to Read (NCTQ 2019 report, Louisa Moats). Our specialists have extensive additional certifications in specific reading methodologies in the National Reading Panels report to Congress. These methods are the ones that will teach your child to read.
After we discover what areas are impeding the learning we address and target those deficits with proven evidence based interventions that will show an avg. of 24 Standard Score report increases. These interventions bring your child to grade level and beyond.
I personally have worked with early elementary Prek- 3, and middle/highschool school students in the public school system. I have tutored and taught students at all grade levels and abilities- 60 IQ to 150 IQ with and without disabilities to read. Our tutors come from all areas of the country, to ensure I can offer the best trained, and certified professionals available.
Find an instructor with most experience in an effective evidence based program, who has been through a rigorous credentialing institution. Literacy is an investment that pays back dividends throughout your lifetime. Don't waste your time or money on tutors who do not have the proper training. We do all the vetting and guide you through the entire process. Once you sign on with iReading TUTOR, your child's self esteem will increase, school will become easier, your child's opportunity in life will expand and your family will get the answers they are looking for.
We host many events in the community, our 501(c) 3, Decoding Literacy, has provided over $28,000 I'm multisensory Structured Literacy materials to our public schools.
Our Dyslexia, Learning and Support Group FL on FB, counsels and offers FREE support to parents attempting to navigate the public school system. We hold 4 trainings a year, with guest speakers to raise literacy and dyslexia awareness.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Teachers should always be open to listening to their students. Students need to be able to freely share their thoughts at anytime. The teachers job is to meet and exceed the needs of the student.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Tricia, with iReading TUTOR is fabulous. Our child improved 3 grade levels within just 4 months of tutoring. This was the best invest we ever made for our child. We can’t thank her enough.
iReading TUTOR was amazing with my daughter online. We love the convenience of tutoring online because it doesn’t waste gas money and my time carting her to the lessons. She made so much growth in her decoding and comprehension skills. I Reading tutor even informed us about a FL state reading scholarships for students that earned an FSA level one or two in the 3rd and 4th grade.
