Reading, writing, and homework tutoring · K to 12
One-on-one tutoring in reading, writing, and the homework and study skills that school demands, taught by a Pennsylvania certified reading specialist and special education teacher. For any learner who is struggling, stuck, or ready to get ahead.
Who it's for
Reading struggles don't mean something is wrong with your child. They mean a skill hasn't clicked yet, and the right instruction can change that at any age.
Kindergarten to grade 5
Sounding out words, reading smoothly, and understanding what they read, built systematically on the science of reading. For the child who guesses at words, avoids books, or reads slowly and loses the thread.
Middle and high school
Comprehension of textbooks and assigned novels, essays and written responses, and the planning, organization, and study skills that come due all at once. For the student who is bright but whose grades don't show it, or whose homework takes all night.
Any learner
Students on grade level who want to strengthen writing before high school, students returning after a hard year, and students with an IEP or 504 plan who need instruction that actually fits how they learn.
Why a specialist
A tutor helps with tonight's homework. A reading specialist finds out why the homework is hard and fixes that.
Before instruction begins, Susan finds exactly where the skills break down, so no time is spent guessing.
Skills are built in order, from decoding and fluency to comprehension and writing, using approaches grounded in the science of reading.
Progress is tracked and instruction adjusts as your learner grows. You get plain-language updates, so you always know what's being worked on and why.
As a Licensed Behavior Specialist, Susan builds sessions students look forward to. Humor, interests, and early wins turn "I have to" into "I get to."
Pennsylvania Certified Reading Specialist, Special Education Teacher PK to 12, and Licensed Behavior Specialist, with 15 years in Bucks and Montgomery County schools and homes.
The goal is a student who can do it without a tutor: reading independently, writing clearly, and managing their own work.

Questions parents ask
Sessions are one-on-one like tutoring, but they start with an assessment, follow a systematic plan built on the science of reading, and are taught by a Pennsylvania certified reading specialist and special education teacher who tracks progress and adjusts as your learner grows.
Common signs: guessing at words instead of sounding them out, reading slowly or avoiding reading, reading a page and not being able to say what it was about, and homework that takes far longer than it should. If any of those sound familiar, a free 15-minute consultation is the easiest way to find out.
Kindergarten through high school, with particular depth in middle and high school, where reading, writing, and organization all come due at once. Young adults beyond high school are served through continued learning and The Next Page Book Club.
Sessions are 60 minutes, one to three times a week, at the Doylestown office, virtually, or in your home within 15 miles of Doylestown. Rescheduling within the same week is free.
No. Any learner is welcome, whether they are behind, on grade level and stuck, or simply want to get ahead. Families whose child does have an IEP can also use the IEP support services.
