No. Tutoring typically focuses on helping students complete assignments or review classroom material. Reading intervention goes deeper by identifying and addressing the underlying skill gaps that cause reading difficulties. This targeted approach leads to more meaningful and lasting progress.

I work with students from TK/PK through high school. In some special cases, I may support adults with literacy gaps. Please contact for more information.

Sessions take place either in-person at a previously agreed upon location in the Coachella Valley (student’s home or public library), or virtually via Google Meet.

Families begin with a brief consultation to discuss concerns and determine whether reading intervention is a good fit. If appropriate, next steps will be recommended, beginning with assessments to determine relevant skills.

No. I do not provide diagnoses. I offer reading intervention and work with students who have diagnosed or suspected reading difficulties.

Intervention is most effective when provided consistently over time. Length varies depending on the student’s needs, progress, and goals. Most students meet once or twice a week for a session.

Yes. Families receive updates on progress, and parent workshops are available to help caregivers support reading development at home.

Rates and availability are discussed during the consultation. Please contact me to learn more.

Sessions are structured, supportive, and encouraging. I bring a calm, positive energy that helps students feel comfortable taking risks and trying new skills. Instruction is clear and purposeful, while families receive regular updates as students build confidence and independence in reading.
