One-on-one support built on Orton-Gillingham and Lindamood-Bell informed methods, adapted to how your child thinks. Real progress, building confidence and tools that last.
Dyslexia is a common, well-researched learning difference that affects how the brain processes written language. It has nothing to do with intelligence or effort, and with the right approach, kids with dyslexia can become strong, confident readers.
I use a hybrid, phonics-based, multisensory approach drawing from Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell, and C.R. Learning, trained in the highlights of each by my mentor, Mare Langlois, who held certifications in all three. This method is proven especially effective for students with dyslexia, and I bring 20+ years of experience adapting it to how each individual child learns.
"As a struggling reader with dyslexia, he faced numerous challenges that often left him feeling defeated. From the moment he began working with Cristie, everything changed. His confidence has soared, and he is now reading at a level we couldn't have imagined."
"Cristie has been an absolute gift for our 4th grader. She worked patiently and skillfully with him through the challenges of dyslexia, meeting him exactly where he was. Reading has gone from something he struggled with to something he truly enjoys."
"She went from a dyslexic second grader who could barely read to a voracious and curious reader. We can barely keep up with her reading pace. She provided an invaluable service to my daughter and her learning journey."
Yes. If we choose to do sessions online together, I use the same structured, multisensory methods I'd use in person, adapted for a screen. What matters most is consistency and engagement, both of which translate well online.
No. Many families come to me with a formal diagnosis, and many come simply knowing their child struggles with reading in ways that don't add up. Either way, I meet your child where they are.
School support is often shared across a group and constrained by time. This is one-on-one, consistent, and built entirely around how your specific child thinks and learns.
I've worked with a full range, from early readers just starting out to teenagers building stronger writing and fluency. Every plan is built around the individual student.

No pressure, no jargon, just a conversation about where your child is and how I might be able to help.
