How I Can Support You and Your Child in Your Quest For Literacy?

The I Love Learning Process

As your partner in all things education and literacy, I will begin by assessing what your child already knows about the five areas of literacy, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Using this information, I will create a Comprehensive Literacy Intervention Plan specific to your child’s needs. Then, as we work through building a solid foundation, your child will soon be excited about reading, asking you to read, and taking on harder and harder tasks at school with ease and confidence.

My instruction is evidence-based, using the latest in brain research and based on the fact that reading is not a natural skill, but a skill that is only acquired through direct, explicit, and systematic instruction.

Hear From Our Happy Parents

  • "Your tutoring really unleashed his potential."

    “I just wanted to send you an update to let you know that your help for {our son} really made such an impact.  He's been advanced in reading the past two years and I couldn't be more thankful.  Also, he will sit and read, he absolutely loves reading.  Your tutoring really unleashed his potential.

    I just wanted to send this because I was feeling very grateful I feel like it's nice to know that you made an impact.”

  • "Her patience and care makes kids want to learn!"

    “When we were introduced to Lynda, my 2nd grader was reading at a kindergarten level and hated reading. We did not know how to help him, since he had just been diagnosed with ADHD and spent Pre-k 4 and Kindergarten doing online learning. Lynda helped my family with setting up an IEP with the school and has been working with my son for the last 18 months. My son is now successfully finishing 3rd grade. He loves to read and has almost caught up to his grade level reading. Lynda designed a plan to help my son learn and love reading. ” “You have been a gift to him and me!”

  • "Miss Lynda's approach to teaching not only helped our kids excel academically but also fostered their love for learning."

    “We can't speak highly enough of Miss Lynda as a tutor for our children. Our son was unable to attend school for Pre-K.4 or kindergarten for medical reasons and Miss Lynda was essential to help us get through that time. Over the two years that she had tutored both kids, she has consistently exceeded our expectations with her dedication, patience, and expertise. She tailored her lessons to suit their individual needs, ensuring they grasped difficult concepts while also making learning fun and enjoyable. Our kids always looked forward to their tutoring sessions with Miss Lynda, and we witnessed significant improvements in their academic abilities and confidence levels. Her passion for education and genuine care for her students truly sets her apart. We're immensely grateful for the positive impact Miss Lynda has had on our children's academic journey, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent seeking an exceptional tutor.”

  • "What Lynda does far exceeds mainstream tutoring, she really is an expert."

    “My 8 year son was not only an extremely reluctant reader who lacked confidence, he was also very far behind his grade level. Naturally I was very concerned and reading together and homework at home was a frustration all round. Lynda worked with our son for several months and during that time she pinpointed his specific limitations and weaknesses. She helped him improve on his target issues and close the gaps. I saw a huge improvement in his reading, spelling and confidence. Her understanding of how to teach combined with her patience and kindness was exactly what our son needed. I will forever be grateful for the help our son received.”

  • "My son (now 10) will not go to sleep because he won’t put his books down...We thought we would never be in this place."

    “Lynda helped him starting at age five. I honestly doubted that sessions would work because they were on Zoom and he gets very distracted. Besides, English was his second language. Homework was painful and we were desperate. Lynda was so patient and kind in working with him. Now he reads on planes, car rides, to his sister, he is such an avid reader!”

  • "We are always so thankful to you for your help in getting us looking into dyslexia and the evaluation and for all your tutoring with {our child}."

    “Getting him diagnosed early was so important!”

  • "He’s now reading books proudly to his grandparents!"

    “Thank you Lynda! He is so much more confident and interested in reading. It’s been such a turnaround since May! We really appreciate your help!”

  • "We love how focused she is when working with you (I believe I've mentioned that she struggles with focus on our intro call). "

    “Thank you, Lynda! We are seeing a lot of progress as well. We want to continue building on {her} success and progress and really think more frequent lessons this summer will help!”

  • "He is more excited about reading and even he notices his own growth."

    “Hi Lynda, we have seen a big improvement with his reading. He’s really come a long way. Thank you!”

  • "You’ve been a part of this for a long time! ❤️"

    “{Our child} was student of the week. Met with teachers yesterday and while he still needs support in reading they are so happy with his progress and his effort.”

  • "He is reading at a whole grade level above."

    “His teachers say he always has a book in his hand, just like at home.”

  • "I see his confidence grow everyday with the tools you have given him to succeed!"

  • "She loves to read now."

    “{Our daughter} has used the same reading coach as {our son} for almost two years. He crushes all standardized tests and gets 100 on all classroom tests. Our son in third grade got his map growth tests back and he got 97/98 percentile in reading comprehension and language usage after working with Lynda since age 5.”

  • "I think she was craving an explanation of how to actually read."

    “Thank you so much! I can already see an improvement after only one time with you. You are truly an amazing teacher.”

  • "{Our child} loves writing and now all she wants to do is write!"
