If you're a parent in Prairie du Sac or the greater Madison area looking for help with your child’s reading, you’re not alone. I’m a retired Reading Specialist offering personalized online reading tutoring for students in Kindergarten through Sixth Grade.
All sessions are held online. I work with students in Prairie du Sac, Sauk City, and throughout the greater Madison, Wisconsin area. Online tutoring allows your child to receive high-quality, personalized reading support from the comfort of home, without the need to travel.

I work with students who:
- are in Kindergarten through Grade 6
- are struggling to learn to read
- need support with phonics, fluency, and/or comprehension
- are reading below grade level
- are feeling frustrated or lack confidence when reading
I provide targeted, one-on-one instruction to help students build strong foundational reading skills and become more confident readers.

I understand how frustrating it can be when reading doesn’t come easily — for both children and parents.
With 24 years of experience as an elementary teacher and Reading Specialist, I help students build strong, confident reading skills. You can learn more about my background and experience on my about page.
My instruction is grounded in the Science of Reading and focuses on building strong foundational skills in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension.
I use research-based tools and structured lessons to meet each student’s individual learning needs. Progress is monitored regularly so you can clearly see your child’s growth over time.
If your child is struggling with reading, early support can make a meaningful difference.
Each tutoring session is personalized to your child’s needs and designed to build skills step by step. Sessions are engaging, structured, and focused on helping your child make meaningful progress.
You can expect:
- clear communication about your child’s progress
- targeted instruction based on assessment results
- a supportive, encouraging learning environment
If you're in Prairie du Sac or the Madison area and are concerned about your child’s reading, I invite you to schedule a free initial reading assessment and parent consultation.
