I'm different from most tutors because I don't just help my students with homework. I teach them the skills they need. As a Learning Therapist, I interpret the diagnostic test results that parents receive from doctors and/or school psychologists to develop a customized plan for each student.
I have a B.S. in Elementary Education and a Ph.D. in education. I am a WA State certified teacher. I was a classroom teacher for 10 years. I have been a professional tutor for the past 15 years.
I mostly work with children with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, executive function dysfunction, and high-functioning autism.
Teaching and tutoring children is my passion. I enjoy watching my students progress. I'm friendly and sometimes silly; my students love me.
I love the process of figuring out what will work with each student. I start with traditional methods for teaching beginning (phonics, sight vocabulary) to advanced reading (comprehension, fluency). I watch and listen to the student to see what works and what doesn't. If something doesn't work, together with the student, we decide what to do next.

Linda has been a vital component to our son's success in school, especially with all the educational changes in the past 18 months. She has taken our son (who has autism) from a preschool reading level to nearly grade level (3rd) in less than a year. Its astounding the progress that he has made. I highly recommend Linda as a reading specialist.
Reliable, punctual, focused on delivering results, and experienced.
