There are approximately fifty-five days left in the school year. As an independent tutor and learning specialist, I offer lessons to young students out of my office in Artisan Square. My students range in age from 7 to 12.
Some need help with math. Some have learning challenges such as Dyslexia or other visual and auditory perception issues. Some just need a hand in finishing off projects, preparing for tests, staying organized and meeting deadlines.
I am trained as an Orton-Gillingham tutor, a multi-sensory, sequential method of working alongside students in reading, spelling and penmanship. However, although I do use OG methods, it is not the only trick in my toolbox. My job as a therapeutic tutor is to help strengthen literacy skills in young learners, accommodating and acknowledging all different learning styles.
My goal as a tutor is to take the burden that comes with learning challenges off the shoulders of the student, teaching young minds to become confident and self-sufficient. I share an office with Mary Ann Zakreski who is a former teacher and now specializes in tutoring math, french and ESL. Our office is full of light ( first door on your left above Artisan Eats) and all of my sessions are guaranteed to be gentle, light-hearted. We play games or music occasionally and we do whatever is required to strengthen skills requiring extra attention. I have a few spots open for this term. Call me at 604-947-2061 or email me at [email protected] and I'll answer any questions you may have.
