You can become an amazing reader.
The Barton Reading and Spelling System is a research-based, structured method that transforms frustration into confidence.
You know your child is smart. But every homework session becomes a battle. Every reading assignment brings tears. The words on the page stay scrambled no matter how hard they try.
Or maybe you're an adult who's spent years hiding your reading difficulties. Developing workarounds. Feeling held back.
You're not alone. And it's not your fault.
1 in 5 people have dyslexia or significant reading challenges. The traditional school system often fails these learners because it uses methods that don't work for their brain wiring.
Is Reading a Daily Struggle?
What happens when reading doesn't click:
Without the right approach, bright kids:
Fall further behind their peers each year
Lose confidence and start to believe they're "not smart"
Begin to hate school and learning
Miss out on the joy of reading
Carry the struggle into adulthood (and their careers)
I've seen it. I've lived it. And I know it doesn't have to be this way.
There's a better way.
The Barton Reading and Spelling System is a proven, Orton-Gillingham based approach that works the way your brain actually learns.
Structured and systematic (no gaps, no guessing)
Multisensory (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)
Individualized pacing (mastery before moving on)
Works for kids AND adults
My average elementary-age student reaches grade-level reading proficiency within 3 months.
Real Stories, Real Results
Tara, a mother of 2nd and 3rd grade boys
“My boys love Angela. I was nervous that they would grow tired of tutoring but they genuinely enjoy going. She pushes them but also incorporates several learning games to keep it fun. I would 100% recommend Angela as a tutor. She is exceptional.”
Sophia, a high school Junior
“I finally learned how to spell in high school after thinking it was impossible.”

Barton is an Orton-Gillingham based program designed for students who struggle with reading and spelling due to dyslexia or other learning differences.
It works because it:
Teaches systematically (no gaps, no guessing)
Uses multisensory techniques (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)
Moves at your child's pace (mastery before moving on)
Targets root causes, not just symptoms
It's research-backed and proven. I've seen it transform struggling readers into confident ones.

Only a qualified professional can provide an official diagnosis, but here are common signs:
Trouble connecting letters to sounds
Slow, labored reading or guessing at words
Poor spelling compared to other abilities
Mixing up similar-sounding letters or words
Struggles persist despite quality instruction
If this sounds familiar, I offer an online dyslexia screening with a high level of reliability. We can do it during a tutoring session or schedule it separately. Early identification makes a huge difference.
