About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
As an experienced Academic Language Practitioner specializing in reading intervention for students with dyslexia. I specialize in using the Take Flight Curriculum, renowned for its success at the Children's Hospital. My work includes four years of private tutoring, two years of teaching in the classroom, and a rewarding experience tutoring at the Rocky Mountain Camp for kids with dyslexia. I am now accepting new students at my home office in Cascade and online. My proficiency extends to administering literacy assessments and ensuring tailored support for each student's unique needs. Dedicated to fostering academic growth and confidence, I am committed to providing high-quality, individualized tutoring services to help students thrive. Trained in Texas Scottish Rite Hospital's dyslexia curricula: BUILD for K-1, Take Flight for 2nd grade+, and JET for 6th grade+. These programs address dyslexia needs, from early intervention to advanced reading support, fostering skills and confidence.
Most recent review
My daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia at the end of first grade. She was behind her peers in reading and the school provided little help. We were lucky to find Melissa who is trained in Take Flight therapy. My daughter instantly clicked with Melissa. She enjoyed going to therapy. Melissa found strategies to motivate and keep her engaged during the session. I would highly recommend Melissa to other families seeking reading help for their child.
