About

I’m an expert at teaching literacy and numeracy development. Throughout the pandemic I provided the most comprehensive instructional program possible to make my students successful when they returned to the classroom. I have 58 years of professional experience as an educator. I'm "old school" meaning that I teach my students the traditional phonics skills that enhance phonemic development needed for mastery of word recognition and comprehension. Similarly, I teach numeracy skills that enhance mathematical development. They learn. They make significant progress. They excel academically. Call me at 443-621-0002 if you are serious about your child's academic success. Day, night and weekend options are available. However, consistency is important. A minimum of two times a week is recommended. Once weekly sessions do not produce the gains needed to impact test scores. Frequent cancellations will result in discontinuance of service. Full payment is required for same day cancellation.

Seeing my students go from "struggling" to "proficient" is absolutely thrilling. It's so worth the investment you make in their academic success. It is most gratifying to see students who have been "written off" by the schools excel at levels that no one ever expected. I'm very” old school” (traditional) and, more importantly, I'm a "result" oriented person. The franchises are no match for the services that I provide. I integrate Zaner Bloser handwriting, spelling and grammar skills in my literacy instruction! Day, night and weekend options are available. Your child is worth the investment. I do not provide intermittent service. Also, parental involvement is imperative.

    I’ve had the immense pleasure of witnessing my daughters transform into a fluent, confident reader within a short time and it is with utmost gratitude and admiration that I write this review for Dr. Myrtle Webb. She has proven herself to be an extraordinary educator who goes above and beyond to ignite a passion for learning within her students.
    From the very first day my daughter started working with Dr. Webb, it was evident that she was more than just a teacher; she was a catalyst for growth and development. Dr. Webbs dedication to my daughter’s success is unmatched. She invests time and effort into understanding my daughter’s unique learning style, strengths, and weaknesses, tailoring her teaching methods accordingly.
    One of the most commendable qualities about Dr. Webb is her passion for education. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and it creates an engaging and vibrant atmosphere - my daughter not only learned the fundamental skills of reading but also developed a genuine love for literature and language. Dr. Webbs ability to make learning fun and exciting has undoubtedly contributed to my daughters progress and eagerness to excel. She also encourages a collaborative relationship between parents, students, and herself, emphasizing the importance of teamwork in nurturing a childs educational journey.
    Thanks to Dr. Webbs unwavering commitment, my daughters reading skills have flourished. I am beyond grateful for her profound impact on my daughters academic and personal growth. As a parent, there is no greater joy than seeing your childs love for learning blossom under the guidance of an exceptional teacher.
    In conclusion, Dr. Webb is a remarkable educator who is not only passionate about teaching but also dedicated to her students overall development. Her ability to ignite a love for reading and ensure every child feels supported and valued is truly commendable. If you are fortunate enough to have Dr. Webb as your childs teacher, you can rest assured that they will receive an education that goes beyond the curriculum, empowering them with the necessary tools to thrive academically and beyond.
    Thank you, Dr. Webb, for your outstanding commitment to education and for transforming my daughters learning journey.

    Frequently asked questions

    I am President and CEO of The Little "Read" School House. I personally provide thorough  "one on one" instruction in diagnostic, remedial, corrective reading and developmental reading, as well as, decoding skills, phonemic awareness, word recognition skills and comprehension. These skills are critical to student academic success. I'm also trained to work with students with severe disabilities , such as dyslexia. I'm a curriculum and instruction specialist and an academic coach. My instruction is very comprehensive and effective.

    My professional materials are expertly developed, highly personalized, customized and individualized. Additional instruction is provided in comprehension strategies, which include "common core", critical and higher-order thinking skills. Test taking strategies are incorporated in my instruction process. Twice weekly sessions are highly recommended for best results. Results will vary depending on the frequency of instruction.  I’m not cheap, quick or gimmicky! But I'm more reasonable than the pricey franchises. Also, I do not provide intermittent service. Frequent cancellations will also affect results.  Consistency is very important to success. My sessions are 60 minutes in length. I expect my students to complete assigned home work. This practice is an integral part of the learning process for my students. I assure you that I will make your child a successful student! I'm the tutor that you want. And yes, I do teach mathematic numeracy.

    The Johns Hopkins University Master of Education Degree in Urban Education and Certificate of Advanced Study in Education-1970 and 1976

    I have been a member  and officer of the International Reading (Literacy) Association since 1982, as well as the State of Maryland International Reading (Literacy) Association.

    All lessons are always in your home and are priced $50 -$70 depending on the distance I have to travel. It is an investment in the academic success of your child.

    I graduated from college cum laude in 1965 with a degree in elementary education and started teaching 4th grade. I was an exemplary teacher from day 1. 

    I have worked with all types of students, including students diagnosed as being dyslexic,  in my career from grades k through 12 and beyond. I have been an adjunct professor at several local colleges and universities,including Morgan State and Bowie State. 

    Just last week one of my parents told me that she had seen a change in her child in about 3 instructional sessions. She noticed his increased confidence. I tell all of my students that they are smart. I make them feel like winners. They blossom and achieve!

    Look at people's credentials. You don't have time, especially now, for people with no experience out to make a few quick bucks. They can do you more harm than good. I assure you. I won't disappoint you.

    Most students in need of tutoring know that they are not performing up to the same level of their peers. During the initial informal assessment they start to reveal their strengths and weaknesses. As a learning specialist, I address them in my instructional plan.
