Hi there!  I'm a longtime homeschooling mom who is also an O-G tutor.  Back when I started homeschooling my own children, most of whom are grown, there simply weren't the resources that are available today. I learned Orton-Gillingham via the Spalding Method so that I could teach my own dyslexic kids how to read, spell, and write. Nowadays, I specialize in helping older kids who have fallen through the cracks by shoring up whatever English skills they lack.  I am also considered by many to be the go-to gal for writing instruction--for all students, not just ones with dyslexia.  In that capacity, I handle everything from beginning sentence structure to all kinds of essays, including literary analysis and research papers.  Additionally, since nearly all of my tutoring happens via Skype, you don't have to live nearby to benefit from my expertise. I hope to hear from you! 

P.S.  If you click on my profile for my website, you will be taken to a page that talks about the different services I offer. Under that tab, you can click Paper Grading, Evaluating, or Tutoring. Under the Tutoring tab, you will see links to my current class offerings, as well as this current term's book lists.  I update this part of the website every July, so if it is summer time, you might find last term's classes as well as ideas for the upcoming term.  The rest of my website is devoted to homeschooling. My "landing page" serves as my often neglected blog. I'm working toward consistently posting there!
Experience :
  • Reasonable Homeschooling was founded in 2013 after several years of helping other people's kids learn how to read and write better.
Orton-Gillingham Training Information :
  • I was origianlly trained very informally via the Spalding Method back in the late 90s. Since then, I've learned many more things about helping students read and write!
