Meet Abby
A mom who gets it.
A tutor who can help.
When one of Abby's children was diagnosed with dyslexia, she threw herself into understanding how the brain processes language. What she found changed everything for her family — and eventually, the direction of her life.
Through that journey, she discovered she had dyslexia herself. The Orton-Gillingham approach didn't just help her children learn to read. It gave her family a shared language for how they learn.
Today Abby works with all kinds of readers — children with dyslexia, struggling readers without a diagnosis, and students who want support in writing and grammar from elementary through high school.

The Approach
What makes Orton-Gillingham different
Orton-Gillingham is not a curriculum. It's a highly structured, multisensory approach to teaching reading that meets each student exactly where they are.
Multisensory
Students see it, say it, hear it, and write it. Every lesson engages visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways simultaneously, building stronger neural connections for reading.
Sequential
Each lesson is written following the last and built specifically for that student. Skills build in a logical, cumulative order with no gaps and no assumptions.
Individualized
No two lessons look the same. Abby writes each session specifically for your child, adjusting in real time based on what they need that day.
Real Results
