Lucia L.

Private tutor in West Hartford, CT

Education

I have my Master of Arts in Reading and Learning Disabilities from Columbia University, Teachers College and received my undergraduate degree from Vassar College. I have taught at The Jemicy School in Owings, Mills, Maryland where I received training and implemented a number of Orton Gillingham based teaching programs including the WIlson Reading System. I have also taught at The Bryn Mawr College Child Study Institute in Pennsylvania.

Experience

I have over twenty years of teaching experience and have taught at a number of schools for dyslexic students. I apply a variety of multisensory Orton-Gillingham based programs including The Wilson Reading System when working with students struggling in phonics and spelling. I am sensitive to the needs of students struggling in school and enjoy helping the students with whom I work gain the confidence and skills they need to achieve academic success. If your student is having difficulty with any area of reading, spelling or written expression I will work with you to create a direct individualized instructional program designed to improve his or her English language skills. Areas of instruction include: * Students with dyslexia * Students who need help with writing skills and grammar * Students needing help with study skills, test taking and organizational strategies * Students who need help learning and applying reading comprehension strategies * Students unable to decode accurately * Students with spelling difficulties * Students unsuccessful with other reading programs who may still have 'gaps' in their decoding and spelling
