Tracy is an extraordinary orton gillingham tutor. She is quite gifted with older students, having found the perfect balance of respect, humor, and no nonsense feedback. This has kept my son engaged. I am so grateful to her.

My kiddo gained so many skills in reading working with Tracy! After a rough couple of years at a sub-par school, they started 3rd grade at a new school missing some key foundational lessons and concepts which was holding them back from catching up with peers and reaching grade-level reading. Tracy worked so patiently, helping to build the strong foundation they needed. We now have a reader!

Tracy made the virtual learning process effortless. As a structured Orton-Gillingham tutor, my high-school-age son has built confidence. He is reading more fluently and with ease allowing him the ability to comprehend what he has read. I recommend her to anyone looking for an Orton Gillingham tutor to ensure their child learns to read.

Your recommendations helped me to successfully advocate for more awareness and new IEP goals for my child. The updated IEP is a much needed improvement from the original.
