Castle Rock Online Reading Tutor
About
My name is Ann, I began tutoring in 2013 to help children in my community close the gap. Then, just over 10 years ago, I began teaching online. This has made a world of difference not only for myself but for the families I work with too.

Look around, get to know me, then fill out a contact form and receive a free assessment for your child. I use Zoom (much like Skype) to work with each of my students. I have had many students quickly close their reading gap in as little as 12 weeks. I hope to meet with you soon.
As a parent, I understand how hard it is to see your child struggle with reading. What I enjoy most is the confidence and the excitement in my students when they start to progress.
The connections I make with my students and their families are amazing as well. Sometimes the world doesn't seem so big.
In my FREE time, I enjoy spending time with my grandson, being outside, and creating digital products for my Etsy shop.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My process involves emailing a parent or guardian. We arrange a short interview process via Zoom to see where their child is struggling, along with what areas they excel in. The next step is an assessment in the areas the parents are requesting support in. Finally, when the assessment is complete information will be emailed and tutoring can start.

I am a licensed Special Educator in the State of Colorado and have been tutoring since 2013.
