Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I offer a range of specialized programs designed to meet your child’s unique academic needs:

1. Reading Skills Program: Using the proven multi-sensory Lindamood Bell Seeing Stars® method, I help students strengthen symbol imagery (letter recognition), phonemic awareness (letter sound recognition), word recognition, reading fluency, and spelling. This program goes beyond Orton-Gillingham approaches to provide deeper reading skill development.

2. Comprehension Skills Program: Through the Lindamood Bell Visualizing and Verbalizing® method, I guide students to improve concept imagery (the ability to create mental pictures) while enhancing their vocabulary and reading comprehension.

3. Writing Skills Program: In this program, I use the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW®) to help students build confidence in communication. They’ll learn essential skills such as note-taking, summarizing, organizing ideas, and writing essays while adhering to grammatical conventions.

4. Homework Help Program: I focus on building executive function skills that help students stay organized, focused, and independent when completing homework. I don’t do the homework for them—I facilitate their learning process.

Each of these programs is carefully crafted to help your child succeed in their academic journey.

While my primary focus is on one-on-one instruction to give each student personalized attention, I am open to group sessions if a suitable group is formed. For group tutoring, students should be at a similar skill level and able to learn effectively together.

Group session rates:

• $35 per student for a group of two
• $25 per student for a group of three
• $20 per student for a group of four

Group sessions can be a cost-effective way for your child to receive quality tutoring while benefiting from peer interaction.

I use a proven approach that has helped thousands of students rewire their brain circuitry and improve their academic performance. My focus is on engaging your child in a way that fosters lasting growth.

Choosing Learning ReEngineered means giving your child the tools they need for lifelong success.

1. Schedule a Free Consultation: We’ll start by setting up a complimentary consultation. If you’re interested in reading or writing instruction, this will include an online assessment to identify your child’s current skill level.

2. Find Convenient Session Times: Together, we’ll choose the best days and times for your child’s tutoring sessions, which will take place through video conferencing.

3. Regular Progress Reviews: Every three months, I’ll reassess your child’s progress and adjust their personalized learning plan to ensure it continues to meet their needs.

There’s no minimum commitment or contract period. You’re free to book as many or as few tutoring sessions as you need, with no hidden fees. You only pay for the sessions you schedule, and you can pause or stop at any time. The goal is to provide flexible support that fits your child’s needs and your schedule.

1. You will need a computer, laptop, or another device with access to the internet. The device must be compatible with the following browsers:

My tutoring sessions are fully personalized to meet your child’s unique needs. We use engaging, multi-sensory activities via video conferencing, ensuring your child stays focused and motivated. After the initial consultation, I create a tailored learning plan, and every three months, I re-assess your child’s progress to ensure we’re on track for success.

I use Koala Go for interactive, engaging online tutoring and TutorBird to manage scheduling, payments, and progress reports. Depending on your child’s needs, I may also incorporate resources from MobyMax or IXL to enhance their learning experience.
