Reading tutoring in Chino Hills, CA and online.
From first letter sounds to critical thinking. Reading is one of the things I help students with most, and it’s one of my favorite things to see click.
Sound familiar?
A great fit for students who
- Guess at words from the first letter or the picture
- Read every word and can’t tell you what happened
- Sound out a sentence one word at a time and lose it by the end
- Mix up letters or write them backwards
- Have dyslexia or need patient, step by step practice
- Read slowly, or their reading sounds choppy or robotic
- Are reading below grade level and want to catch up
A great fit for families who
- Want reading time at home to feel calmer
- Want their child to enjoy reading
- Have a child in a dual language immersion or charter program
- Want to know exactly what their child is working on
Reading, step by step.

How sessions work.
Every session has a clear focus, real reading, and a check-in at both ends.

Just your student and me, at our learning studio in Chino Hills or online.

Long enough to go deep, short enough to keep focus and energy up.
Check-ins
Every session starts and ends with a check-in, because how they’re doing matters.
12 Weeks
Learning Paths are 12 weeks, because lasting growth takes time.
Happy to answer.
My child is behind in reading. Where do you start?
With the Academic Placement and Orientation. Over two sessions in your first 2 weeks, I see which sounds, words, and skills are solid and which need work, then we build the plan from there.
Do you work with students who have dyslexia?
Yes! I love working with neurodivergent learners, and the studio is designed with them in mind.
My child writes letters backwards. Should I be worried?
It comes up a lot on my Welcome Calls! Let’s talk about what you’re seeing, and we can go from there.
Can you help my older student with reading comprehension?
Yes! Comprehension and critical thinking are a big part of what we do in middle school, high school, and college.
