Every child learns differently, but when a student struggles with reading or foundational math, it often isn't a lack of effort—it’s simply a matter of finding the right key to unlock their potential. As a Washington State Certified Teacher with 11 years of classroom experience, I bring deep educational expertise to every session. Trained in the Wired for Reading framework and foundational math instruction, I partner with students from kindergarten through high school to turn learning roadblocks into confident strides forward.

At Stepping Stones to Literacy, my approach is built on patience, structured methodology, and explicit, multi-sensory instruction. I specialize in helping learners with dyslexia and unique learning differences demystify language and numbers. Whether working online or in-person at my office in Bothell, Washington, I break down complex concepts into manageable, step-by-step milestones—building the necessary neural pathways for lasting comprehension.

My goal extends beyond improving test scores and reading levels; it is about restoring a student's natural curiosity and self-belief. By creating a warm, supportive environment where mistakes are celebrated as progress, I empower learners of all ages to navigate their educational journey with clarity and confidence—one stepping stone at a time.
