Reading & Literacy

K–5 Reading Tutoring in Chandler & East Valley AZ — Online, One-on-One

If reading has become a daily struggle — slow decoding, guessing at words, avoiding books, or falling behind grade level — your child doesn't need to push harder. They need instruction built around how they actually learn. I've spent 36+ years helping young readers go from "I can't" to "watch me."

Why It Matters

Reading is the skill everything else stands on

By the end of third grade, children shift from learning to read to reading to learn. A child who hasn't built strong, automatic reading skills by then has to work twice as hard in every subject — math word problems, science, social studies, even test directions. Early, targeted reading help is one of the highest-return investments you can make in your child's education.

The good news: reading difficulties are highly responsive to the right instruction. With consistent one-on-one support that meets a child exactly where they are, most students make meaningful progress faster than parents expect.

The Approach

How I help struggling and reluctant readers

Every reader is different, so every plan is different. I start by diagnosing the real source of the struggle — is it decoding, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, confidence, or some combination? — and then build a personalized plan using evidence-based reading intervention methods drawn from my training in national reading programs.

Sessions are fully online, one-on-one, and 60 minutes — engaging enough that kids look forward to them, rigorous enough to move the needle.
