A WINNING STRATEGY

A student gains confidence from how each session is taught. Every student is allowed to work at their own pace with each concept being taught sequentially, cumulatively, using a multi-sensory approach. The use of these strategies causes the student to ‘win’ at every session! 

THE TOOLS TO BE CONFIDENT

A structured literacy program is like filling a toolbelt with tools to do the job you are being asked to do. As a student starts to use their ‘tools’ they begin to notice that reading and spelling are not quite as hard as they used to be. As their toolbelt grows, so does their confidence!

LITTLE VICTORIES

Every little victory counts!  All of the daily ‘little victories’ your child will experience in each session will add up to one of the biggest victories they will experience! “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!”


►Testimonials◄

Kim has been invaluable to me along our homeschooling journey. She has helped me refine my focus, set overarching priorities for our school and family, choose curriculum adaptable for kids of varied ages and abilities based on what is important to me, and simplify.  Her experience with special needs kids, adoption issues, and shepherding the hearts of children from typical and atypical backgrounds combine to set her apart as a wise counselor as well! - Sharon T.

Kim is so good at building confidence along with building the child’s toolbox for decoding words. - Shawn H.

Excellent tutor to work with! Kim is very knowledgeable in both Orton and Barton. She has always been quick to answer all of my questions, helping me as a parent to work with my daughter in her writing and spelling challenges. - Nicole H.

Kim was recommended as a tutor for my 12-year-old son when we started looking for a different tutor due to his frustration, stalled learning, and he started hating his reading/tutoring sessions. Since he has been working with Kim, he has been happy to meet with her online for his biweekly sessions. I enjoy listening to their conversations and his laughter when he is on the computer with her. I appreciate how Kim is able to listen to his interests and answer his questions, but still bring it back to the learning and work needed to be done, and communicates concerns and progress updates. She uses games to engage him as they are working through the Barton reading system. She has been one of the biggest blessings to us in regard to his education.

My son's review of Ms. Kim is "She is nice. She is funny. I like all the games." which for my son is quite high praise. - Jessica L.
