About Maryann
I realize learning to read is challenging so I am compassionate in my approach. My Dad's illiteracy is my motivator to assist struggling readers in becoming literate and falling in love with books.
I have successfully taught countless students in my roles as classroom teacher, reading specialist, literacy coach, and college professor. My mentors published an internationally known intervention program that has helped thousands of students reach impressive levels of literacy over the past 30 years.
I adapted that program, and now presently tutor online via Zoom and at my local public library.

My process involves assessment to determine what students already know, partially know, and need to learn. I then develop a learning plan based on results of those assessments. Progress is steady because there is laser focus on needed skills from the outset. A typical lesson includes:
-reading a familiar leveled text
-learning phonemic awareness or phonics strategy
-building sight word knowledge
-reading a new leveled text w/ focus on a comprehension skill
-composing a story about the familiar text to strengthen comprehension
The lesson components meet the needs of students in K-5 who are well below grade level as well as special needs learners including those with autism.
I consider parents as my co-partners in helping children succeed. Thus, I provide strategies and ideas to be utilized at home between lessons.

Highly Recommended: An Exceptional, Expert Literacy Specialist
Dr. Maryann is an extraordinary reading specialist who has worked with my son for the last three years. Her impact on his academic growth has been incredible, helping him bump up several reading levels during their time together. She is a true expert in her field. She doesn't just teach literacy to young children; she actually trains other reading teachers, which speaks volumes about her depth of knowledge and skill. Her methods are highly effective, engaging, and tailored perfectly to a child's needs. If you are looking for a top-tier literacy educator who delivers real results and builds true reading confidence, I cannot recommend Dr. Maryann highly enough!Maryann is truly a Super Tutor! She has been my daughter’s reading tutor, and I am incredibly grateful for the patience, dedication, and individualized attention she brings to every session.
What I appreciate most about Maryann’s teaching methods is her ability to meet my daughter where she is academically, identify the areas where she needs additional support, and teach in a way that builds both her reading skills and her confidence.
One experience that truly demonstrates Maryann’s impact occurred when my daughter was without a classroom teacher for approximately six months due to teacher shortages. Unfortunately, this significantly affected her learning and academic progress. During that time, Maryann provided the consistency, encouragement, and focused instruction my daughter needed. With Maryann’s support, she was able to overcome those learning gaps and ultimately excel on her state exams.
I would highly recommend Maryann to parents looking for a knowledgeable, patient, dependable, and caring tutor who is genuinely invested in helping their child succeed. She has made a meaningful difference in my daughter’s education, and I am extremely thankful for her!Maryann is an exceptional tutor, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She worked with my son when he was in third grade and played an important role in helping him prepare for and successfully pass his reading exams last year. Her support made a real difference in both his reading skills and his confidence.
Maryann is wonderful with children. She is kind, encouraging, dependable, and incredibly patient. She takes the time to explain things in a way that children can understand and never makes them feel rushed or discouraged. My son felt comfortable working with her and always received the attention and support he needed.
We are extremely grateful for everything Maryann did for our family. She is knowledgeable, caring, and truly dedicated to helping her students succeed. I would recommend her 100% to any parent looking for an excellent tutor who genuinely cares about children and their education.
Dr. Maryann W.
My husband & I highly recommend Dr.Maryann ,she tutored our son which was behind on his reading level & once he was finished he has been soaring since then ,She is by far one of the "BEST" out there & I mean that.
She is hands down worth 20 star's.I highly recommend Maryann. As a doctorately prepared reading specialist, she knows the best ways to approach any early reading difficulty. She is kind and compassionate, and works well with children. I have seen her skills in a group setting, and she has also tutored my grandson.
