Get started

Start with a conversation.

Twenty minutes, free, no obligation. Tell me what you're seeing and I'll tell you straight whether I can help — and if I can't, who can.

What happens on the call

No pitch. A specialist's questions.

You describe what reading looks like in your house — what you've tried, what happens when it goes wrong.
I ask the specific questions that separate a decoding problem from a fluency problem from a comprehension problem.
I tell you which of those it sounds like, and what the realistic shape of the work would be.
If I'm not the right help, I say so and tell you what kind of professional is.
You leave knowing more than you came in with, whether or not you ever book a session.

Before you call

Two things that make the call better.

Bring any report you already have — a school evaluation, an IEP, a reading level from a previous tutor, even an old teacher's comment that stuck with you. None of it is required, and plenty of families have nothing. It just saves us guessing.

And have a rough answer to one question: when did you first notice? The age a child's reading stopped keeping up is often the single most useful piece of information you can give me.

Booking

Tell me a little about your child — it takes about two minutes — and I'll be in touch to set a time for the call.
