Jeni S. says, "I’m a full-time working widowed mom, and one of my biggest stresses has been making sure my homeschooled girls get the individualized attention they need with reading and writing. Before finding Ms. Lynn, I honestly felt defeated. I was doing everything I could, but it still felt like I wasn’t giving my girls what they truly needed. I had tried a tutor before, and the experience left me even more discouraged. When I read about how Ms. Lynn approaches teaching: having students write, choosing one skill at a time to focus on, and keeping an ongoing vocabulary list—I finally felt a sense of hope. I loved that she tailors each lesson to what the student needs most. Fast forward about 20 lessons, and Ms. Lynn has been wonderful for both of my girls, ages 6 and 10. My older daughter loves to read but struggles with writing and spelling. I’ve already seen improvements in both, and I’m excited to see how much more she grows. My 6-year-old is also making steady progress in reading, writing, and spelling. Both of my girls talk all the time about how much they love Ms. Lynn. My older daughter even told me she wants to be a “Zoom teacher” when she grows up, which says so much about the confidence she’s gaining and how much she respects and appreciates Ms. Lynn. I would absolutely recommend her to any family, especially those homeschooling, whose child needs support in reading, writing, or spelling."See more

My first student was my severely dyslexic sister who was in 8th grade reading at 1st grade level. For years teachers told me she needed to read more and she was eventually catch up. Nothing worked until I found the Orton-Gillingham method. Not only is she able to read now but she is addicted to a series of novels! I am trained and certified in the Barton System which one of the most comprehensive Orton-Gillingham based programs. The Orton-Gillingham method is the golden standard in teaching reading to children and adults with dyslexia. I have taken Lindamood-Bell's Lips training workshop on phonemic awareness for my most severely dyslexic students. I have also taken Susan Barton's 6-day graduate level Screening for Dyslexia seminar. In addition to my O.G.-based training, I have taken countless Linguistics and Structured Word Inquiry courses to expose my students to a scientific approach to orthography. Every word has a story and meaningful reasons for the way it is spelled, even so-called "sight words!" Using SWI, students use critical thinking, expand their vocabulary, and improve reading comprehension. Signs of Dyslexia: - Terrible spelling (Number 1 sign of Dyslexia) - Unable to sound out unknown words or nonsense words - Unable to retain spelling words from spelling tests - Slow choppy reading - Relies on context clues when reading - Makes guesses when reading I tutor all students (ages 6 to adult) online using a screen sharing software. My hourly rate applies to 55-minute sessions. I look forward to hearing from you!See more
