At Inspired Steps Tutoring, I understand that learning to read can be a challenging journey—especially for students with dyslexia or other reading difficulties. That’s why I specialize in evidence-based instruction rooted in the Science of Reading and the Orton-Gillingham approach. Since 2014, as an Associate Member of the Orton-Gillingham Academy (OGA), I have been dedicated to providing expert, multisensory tutoring that meets each child where they are and guides them step-by-step toward reading success.
