“Jordan has been a wonderful teacher for my son Tyler (now 8), and I have seen his confidence grow tremendously in the months they have been working together. She is very knowledgeable about the intricacies of teaching foundational reading and math, and managed to engage Tyler and get him on the right track when he was beginning to feel discouraged about school.“

Orton-Gillingham is the Gold Standard for Dyslexia and other struggling readers.. Hands-on, engaging, multi-sensory instruction. Lots of repetition and review to ensure mastery.

Great Question! Every child’s learning profile and situation is unique - that’s why our programming is not one-size-fits-all. Reach out to us and we can help you sort through your child’s needs and make a plan. You can trust that we will always be honest about whether our program is the right fit. If not, we are still happy to help you make sense of the information you have and point you toward relevant resources.
This camp is run by Jordan Burns, a local Educational Therapist specializing in Dyslexia, along with a small number of highly trained reading specialists.
