Testimonials
“Jenny is an excellent instructor; she is so helpful and a great resource! This has been an amazing experience!”
“I thought that this whole course was amazing. Jenny, I can't thank you enough for all the time and effort you took with me. I cannot wait to move into small group with you next year!!!!”
“Jenny was the most useful and valuable part of this course. Jenny's feedback during observations was amazingly helpful. Her upbeat attitude as well as making it clear that there are no dumb questions during the course was invaluable. Jenny exuded constant professionalism while having a kind and caring demeanor that made taking the course very enjoyable. She knew all of the content inside and out. She is clearly an expert in teaching and conveyed herself as such. She always got back to me if I had questions. Through Jenny teaching this course, she made this course and its coursework challenging and accessible, all at the same time, which is the hallmark of a job well done. I would highly recommend others take this course with Jenny and am very happy that I had her as an instructor.”
“The classes were very beneficial in preparing for lessons and understanding the OG approach. The observations were key to feeling confident in our work.”
“Learning tools to reach some of my struggling students, resources, readings, the classes were all extremely useful!!!! Jenny was incredibly helpful!”
“The pace was very helpful. I couldn't imagine getting all this information at once and then having to figure out how to apply it to my practicum. Being taught something and then bringing it to the OG lessons and getting feedback was helpful. Next class learning more and then applying, etc. I found the instructor to be very professional and helpful, yet kind and relatable.”

“Jenny is wonderful. We would definitely recommend her to friends and other parents. Our 8-year-old son has dyslexia, and he has been doing Orton Gillingham lessons with her this year. We have seen so much improvement since he began working with her. He reads more carefully and is sounding out words with much more success. His overall confidence in his ability to read has grown enormously during the year, and he now enjoys reading books and signs to his little brother. His spelling has improved too, and we can understand what he is writing much more easily. Jenny is very helpful and is always willing to discuss our son's progress and to recommend any materials or tools that might be helpful. She is very diligent and knowledgeable. Her lessons cover a lot but she keeps our son engaged and happy. He enjoys working with her very much and that means a lot to us. Thanks again!”

His decoding and his fluency scores have improved tremendously, as has his confidence. Best of all, he really enjoys his time with Jenny. She has also been so helpful to his teachers and to us as we work to understand how to best help him succeed academically.”

Over the past two years, our daughters’ sessions with Jenny have been incredibly helpful. We have seen material improvements in both her spelling and math skills. Jenny is able to quickly respond to new challenges and make learning fun.
Jenny has not only been supportive of our daughters, she has also been supportive of us as parents as we think about their education. She is always available for questions, provides very thoughtful updates and examples on focus areas, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Jenny is invested in our children and their academic well-being. We feel so grateful to have found her!”

“My 8-year-old daughter who has dyslexia has been working with Jenny for the past 5 months and she has made tremendous improvement in her reading skills. As a result of working with Jenny, my daughter is able to decode new words, and reads more accurately and fluently. Jenny's Orton-Gillingham lessons are carefully planned, structured, and very comprehensive, covering all the skills needed to learn to read. In sessions, Jenny is patient while also keeping the lesson on track. Jenny is very approachable and makes time to answer my questions and discuss my daughter's progress. My daughter loves working with Jenny and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking OG tutoring for their child.”
