About Tina
I’m a reading specialist and educator with extensive experience helping children become confident, capable readers and writers. With a PhD in special education, my tutoring is grounded in the sciences of learning and reading. I use explicit, research-based methods that support struggling learners and students with dyslexia. I combine strong expertise with a patient, encouraging approach so students feel successful while building skills that truly last.

I believe every student can learn to read and write successfully with the right instruction. My tutoring is grounded in the sciences of learning and reading and focuses on building strong, lasting skills—not quick fixes or guesswork strategies. My goal is simple: help students feel successful, capable, and independent.
I use explicit, structured, and systematic instruction to help students understand how sounds, letters, and meaning work together. Lessons are interactive, supportive, and paced to build confidence alongside competence.
My Instruction is:
• Explicit – I clearly teach each skill step-by-step
• Systematic – skills build logically from simple to complex
• Multisensory – students see, say, hear, and write sounds and words
• Diagnostic – lessons adjust based on student data and progress
I work with:
• K–8 students
• Struggling or below-grade-level readers
• Students with dyslexia or suspected reading difficulties
• Students needing phonics, spelling, or writing support
• Students who need structured, explicit instruction to build confidence
Sessions are ideal for both intervention and skill strengthening.
Recommendations

I highly recommend Tina as an exceptional reading tutor. She combines deep knowledge of reading with a warm, supportive teaching style that helps students feel confident and capable. Her instruction is explicit, structured, and individualized, making complex skills like phonics, spelling, and writing accessible for all learners, including students with dyslexia.
What truly sets Tina apart is her ability to quickly identify a student’s needs and create targeted lessons that lead to real, measurable progress. Families consistently see growth not only in skills, but also in motivation and self-confidence. Any child would be lucky to learn from her.
