About
I tutor elementary age students struggling with reading. I also specialize in teaching children with dyslexia using an Orton-Gillingham system designed for kids with dyslexia. I have been very successful with my kids and am quite passionate about my work as one of my sisters had dyslexia many years ago when there was no help. A child does not have to be officially diagnosed with dyslexia. Catching reading problems at an early age can prevent years of suffering and struggles. I love children and find it so rewarding to see them learn and grow and witness the pride they feel as they progress. Reading is such a fundamental skill that I hope to make a difference in all their academic progress. My patience with and love of children is probably my most important asset.

Maureen is punctual. She always sends a reminder text prior to her arrival. She promptly arrives at my house and is ready to begin tutoring right away. Maureen works well with my 8 year old son who struggles with reading. They progress at his individualized pace to master word parts and units, which leads to him feeling more confident in his reading abilities. She teaches him using various manipulatives: word lists, games, new books, and activities on the tablet. My son likes to earn little rewards from her. Maureen wraps up each session by briefing me on what’s been covered and activities for my son to practice for the week. She is worth every penny and more!

Details: Elementary school • General reading and writing • Native speaker • Improve grades at school • As recommended by professional • 45 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

We have had such a great experience with Maureen! We did not know our son is dyslexic until we began our tutoring process with her (sadly, this is something his school failed to identify). She was able to identify it quickly and started a program for him. She is patient (he is very hyperactive, so this is a huge plus) and caring. She is very accommodating and understanding, as well. Our son is much more confident when reading now and has improved. We highly recommend Maureen!

Details: 2nd grade • General reading and writing • Native speaker • Improve grades at school • Once a week • 30 minutes • As soon as possible • As recommended by teacher • Need some more information before hiring • The reading and writing tutor travels to me

Maureen has been assisting my daughter with her reading for several months now. She is prompt and my daughter enjoys her one on one tutoring session. Maureen is very helpful and patient. My daughters reading has improved since hiring Maureen. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who has a child needing extra help with their reading.
