About Practitioner
I have a BA in psychology from UBC and have been an Orton-Gillingham tutor for over 20 years. I worked at Fraser Academy in Vancouver, BC for most of that time, and have been in private practice since 2019. In addition to providing reading and writing skill development, I'm trained in and offer executive functioning and study skills coaching. I've also received training as a mindfulness educator with Mindful Schools.
The foundation of my approach is relationship based and emotionally sound, as I have found that warm, safe, attuned relationships are essential in order for students with learning differences to flourish. My lessons are individualized and tailored to the needs of each student, and I bring a sense of humour and playfulness to lessons.
