Available even without a formal diagnosis.

The approach

Rebecca uses evidence-based, structured literacy methods proven effective for dyslexic learners and struggling readers of all kinds.

01

Screen first

Understanding the specific profile of a learner's strengths and challenges is the essential first step toward getting the right support.

02

Individualized plan

No two learners are the same. Every tutoring plan is built around the individual's needs, starting point, and goals.

03

Structured literacy

Explicit, systematic, multisensory instruction that directly teaches the relationship between sounds and letters in a carefully ordered way.

04

Advocate alongside you

Rebecca helps families navigate school systems, understand their rights, and speak up effectively in IEP and 504 meetings.

You don't have to have a diagnosis to get help.

Rebecca works with a wide range of learners. If reading, spelling, or writing is a struggle, there is support available.

Young children (age 4 and up)

Early screening can identify risk factors before formal reading instruction begins. The earlier support starts, the greater the impact.

School-age students

Elementary through high school students who struggle with reading, spelling, writing, or keeping up in class despite their best effort.

Adults

Many adults were never identified. It is never too late. Structured tutoring can meaningfully improve reading and writing ability at any age.

Struggling learners without a diagnosis

You do not need a dyslexia diagnosis to benefit from Rebecca's support. Homework help, writing coaching, and general academic tutoring are available to anyone who needs it.
