Our Story

I am a Master's Level Certified Barton tutor and have been an educator for over 20 years. My passion is to rescue kids that are drowning in a sea of reading and spelling struggles. I specialize in students with dyslexia or SLD and have extensive experience with ADHD.

I will teach them the way that they learn and give them the lifesaving skills to successfully read and write. It is my privilege to bring back the joy of learning and to see their frustration turn into confident smiles.

As a licensed Behavior Specialist, I specialize in working with children who have autism in clinical, home, and school settings. My focus is on helping kids achieve various goals, ranging from functional communication to daily living skills.

With a master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis, I bring a strong educational foundation to my tutoring role. I'm deeply passionate about teaching and helping children acquire new skills and reach their full potential.

I am a homeschooling mom of three and have 18 years of experience raising multiple kids with numerous learning differences. I firmly believe that every child deserves an education tailored to their individual strengths and challenges.

When we found Reading and Spelling SOS, it was such an answer to prayer. It has been life-changing for our youngest. It has helped him to overcome his obstacles and gain a new level of confidence. Fueled by the impact that the Barton system had on my own child, it is my goal to help provide the support and guidance needed to unlock the full potential within each child.

I have seen how much the Barton program has helped our students. I want to see the same progress in all who struggle with reading and spelling. The reward from seeing a student surpass their own expectations is what drives me to tutor.

Karina and Reese play a crucial role by greeting all students who come through the door. They love meeting new people and are sure to give you a warm welcome. They often will hang out in the office and encourage kids to do their best. Often times when a student is struggling, they are able to cheer them up with dog kisses and love!
