Natalie also offers Structured Literacy intensive tutoring, which is different than traditional tutoring. Structured Literacy /Orton - Gillingham based instruction is scientifically proven to be most effective for all readers; it is paramount that individuals with dyslexia and struggling readers receive this instruction.

Natalie offers the gold standard of effective instruction for students with language-based learning differences such as dyslexia, which is the Orton-Gillingham Approach.  The Orton-Gillingham approach falls under a Structured Literacy approach, which is multisensory, explicit, systematic, and cumulative. This approach breaks down language into manageable patterns and structures in a systematic manner. Literacy is taught in a way that is more accessible to individuals with dyslexia and struggling readers.  She applies a diagnostic-prescriptive approach, which allows her to personalize instruction to target students’ areas of needed support and enhance their strengths.  Natalie has more than 20 years of experience inside and outside of the classroom. She has Orton-Gillingham-based training from Neuhaus Education Center, is a Certified Academic Language Therapist (CALT), Reading Therapist, and is certified in Texas as a Special Education, General Education, and ESL Teacher.  Please see her about section to learn more about her experience.

Although dyslexia affects individuals over the life span . . . reading skills can be increased with the right early intervention and prevention programs . . . It is clear from the consensus of scientifically based reading research that the nature of the educational intervention for individuals with reading disabilities and dyslexia is critical.

“Natalie has been an answered prayer for our family. My 1st grader was really struggling with reading, spelling, writing and so was his confidence. Natalie started working with my son and I was so impressed with her knowledge, and ability to teach my son when nothing else has worked before.  My son is gaining confidence and gets so excited with each improvement. I would recommend Natalie to anyone who has a child who is struggling because she has really made a difference for our family!”
