Meet Lorraine

As an Orton-Gillingham Certified Academic Language Therapist, I specialize in providing personalized and effective one-on-one or small group tutoring. My approach emphasizes multisensory learning and utilizes evidence-based strategies to address the unique needs of each student.

 

For students with dyslexia I provide explicit and systematic phonics instruction, focusing on both reading and spelling. Through individualized lesson plans and tailored materials, I help students build a strong foundation in the English writing system.

​

Beyond literacy, I equip students with essential executive functioning skills crucial for middle and high school success. I work collaboratively to develop time management, planning, organization, task initiation, and study strategies. This process not only improves their academic performance but also fosters self-advocacy and boosts their self-confidence.

​

My commitment is to see every student thrive. I provide the individualized support and proven strategies necessary to help them overcome obstacles and achieve their academic goals.
