About Lynn

CURRENTLY BOOKING 4x/week SUMMER INTENSIVES for six weeks at a promotional $60/hr rate to provide immersive, 1:1 support for your child.

I am an educational therapist specializing in reading disorders, including dyslexia. I bring 25 years of experience supporting children and adolescents who continue to struggle despite high-quality instruction, and I hold a Master’s degree in Special Education, with seven years in the classroom and over 18 years as an educational therapist.

I have a problem-solving mentality by nature and truly enjoy the challenge of finding what works instructionally for each student. At the same time, because many students arrive on day one feeling defeated, I believe it’s critical to help them develop a growth mindset and infuse a sense of positivity into our lessons so real growth can take place.

After raising two sons who learn differently and spending five years homeschooling, I understand the struggle for parents. My personal experience paired with my professional roles allow me to help my students navigate challenges that other interventions may have missed as well as provide parents with the clear, expert guidance they may need.

By the time my reading students begin sessions with me, they are often bored and frustrated with reading. They have tried one or more Science of Reading (research-based) programs without success. When that happens, it’s not the child—it’s the approach.

These students typically need three things:

1. Truly individualized instruction - They need a practitioner who can reassess what is and isn’t working and adjust instruction accordingly–by modifying a program, switching programs, or incorporating other research-backed methods, rather than pushing a student through one program that doesn’t fit. I am trained in four different reading approaches and numerous Science of Reading-based strategies, allowing our lessons to be both structured and flexible.

2. Confidence-building and positivity - My students need a specialist who prioritizes establishing rapport from the first session to build trust, helps them to recognize their strengths, and teaches a growth mindset. This way, we begin from a positive place despite their past frustrations with reading.

3. Motivation through engagement - Finally, these students need the engaging, interactive learning tools I provide to boost motivation and help rebuild their interest in learning.

My lessons are a positive, safe space for learning where my students finally get the targeted, expert instruction they need to succeed!
