“I see myself as a raiser of spirits who makes reading and spelling easier for these brilliant folks.” — Kristi Davis

WHAT I DO

I tutor clients online 2-4 times a week with the Barton Reading & Spelling System, an Orton-Gillingham approach. I am Certified at the Masters Level by Susan Barton, the creator of The Barton Reading & Spelling System. I also offer IEW writing instruction and am accredited by IEW.

  •  My clients struggle with reading and spelling

  •  They may or may not have been diagnosed with dyslexia

  •  They range from early elementary school to senior adults

  •  They range in severity of dyslexia from mild to profound

On average, depending on the severity of dyslexia and how often we meet, clients work with me about three years. A minimum of two (50 minutes) sessions a week are required, but I encourage three. Ultimately, three sessions each week costs less because of three things: 
     1.  I offer a discount on the third session
     2. There is less time spent reviewing
     3. We complete the program faster

I dearly love my clients. It is an honor and privilege to be a part of their lives and see their world expand. 

If you or your child struggles with reading and spelling, I encourage you to review Susan Barton’s list of Warning Signs. Then visit her Bright Solutions website and take advantage of what she shares.

You can tutor your child yourself or hire a professional. If you choose the latter, it would be my honor to assist you and/or your child on this journey.
