Hello & Welcome.

Working with Families
We feel it's important to have a strong relationship with the students and their families. Our team works with students to offer personalized lessons that meet their needs and help build skills that will foster their potential and help grow their strengths. We also value communication between families and the members of our team.
Meet Our Team
Reading and Writing
We help children learn to read and spell using the Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach. OG is a direct, explicit, systematic, sequential, prescriptive, diagnostic, and multisensory approach to literacy instruction. It is typically recommended by experts in psychoeducation and neuropsychology and more and more schools are implementing OG-based literacy programs.
Executive Functioning
We help students and adults develop essential executive function (EF) skills, including organization, time management, and planning. These skills are crucial for academic and daily success but are often weaker in individuals with ADHD and many others. Strengthening EF skills improves focus, self-regulation, and productivity, empowering individuals to manage responsibilities more effectively. Through targeted strategies and support, we help build the skills needed for greater independence and long-term success.
Assessments
We provide a variety of assessments to identify students' strengths and challenges, enabling targeted support for enhanced reading, memory, executive functioning, and complex reasoning. We're excited to offer the MindPrint assessment, a powerful tool for unlocking personalized learning insights. MindPrint is the only K12 solution that uses objective cognitive data to teach students how they learn best and provide strategies personalized to students’ learning strengths and needs.
What People Say
Abby F. (Parent)
Our son struggled with the workload and responsibility challenges presented by the transition to middle school. With Stephanie’s help, he was able to create a reliable organization system and build effective study habits that have served him well. We highly recommend Stephanie as a friendly and relatable resource for middle to high school age students.
Sarah A. (Parent)
Stephanie worked with my son, who is dyslexic. She was terrific. She found creative ways to keep him engaged, learning about him and what he liked to incorporate things he enjoyed into every lesson. While he hated reading and everything associated with it, he loved his time with Stephanie and always asked when he could work with her next. He made amazing progress working with her. I would strongly recommend Stephanie as a tutor!
Mark D. (Parent)
My daughter struggled with reading, which led to a loss of confidence and interest. Stephanie made reading fun again! She found ways to connect with my creative daughter, creating games and exciting adventures around reading. Reading became fun again and a highlight of the week. My daughter is now back on track and loves reading. Thank you, Stephanie!
