My approach

Adaptive

Every lesson is tailored to your needs. Using the Orton-Gillingham approach, instruction is adjusted to match your progress, reinforce mastery, and build the next literacy skill with confidence.

Comprehensive

From phonemic awareness and phonics to spelling, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension, my Orton-Gillingham curriculum develops every essential literacy skill through explicit, systematic, and multisensory instruction.

Interactive

Reading success comes from active learning, not memorization. Using the Orton-Gillingham multisensory approach, students engage through visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile activities that strengthen lasting literacy skills.

Personalized

Every lesson is tailored to each student's unique strengths, learning needs, and pace, using the Orton-Gillingham approach to provide targeted, multisensory instruction that builds lasting reading success.

Don has been wonderful to work with. He is patient, knowledgeable, and does a great job making my son feel comfortable during lessons. He takes the time to understand where he is struggling and explains phonics concepts in a way that is easy for him to understand. We appreciate that he keeps us informed about his progress and identifies the specific skills he needs to work on. We have been very happy with his tutoring and would definitely recommend him to other families looking for a caring and experienced reading tutor.
