Growing readers with the
support of a specialist
Individualized Instruction
Each session will be completely tailored to meet the needs of your learner as determined by our benchmark assessments and the goals we set as a team.
Team Approach
We will work together as a team to provide your learner with the support they need both during tutoring and at home, using customly designed reinforcement activities to do throughout the week.
Experience Matters
Using both my 24 years experience as an educator and my journey as a parent, I will support your learner in filling their educational gaps, allowing them to reach their full potential.
How does it work?
Discovery Call: Schedule a free 20 minute phone call for you to share your concerns, your goals in hiring a tutor and to discover if we will work well together as a team.
Initial Assessment: If we decide to move forward, we will do an initial benchmark assessment to see where the gaps are in your learner’s reading foundation.
Individualized Instruction: Using a multi-sensory approach, each lesson will be designed to address your learner’s specific needs.
What does your learner need?

“Miryam at Growing Readers has been a lifesaver for us and our 7 year old boy who was diagnosed with dyslexia. She made us feel comfortable and was super engaged from the start. Our child enjoys working with Miryam as she makes learning fun. We started to see results immediately. Within a few months he mastered all his letter sounds, many new sight words, could read full sentences, and is now actively trying to read things on his own. Our son’s teacher was so impressed with the progress our child made while working with Miryam that she started referring other kids in the class to her. We will continue to use Miryam at Growing Readers as long as possible and are so thankful for her help.” Jerry and Stephanie S., Parents
“As a teacher, I really enjoyed working with Miryam. She was insightful, positive and professional. Prior to working with Miryam, the student struggled with decoding, letter formation and reading. After a short time of working with Miryam, the student showed notable independence with their phonics skills and was reading decodable books. The student was always excited to work with Miryam. She was very pleasant to work with and she got quick results. I would highly recommend Miryam as a Reading Support Specialist.” Johanna, Kindergarten Teacher
“Our 6 year old son worked with Miryam for the Summer Jumpstart program and it was such a great decision! He loved his “reading camp” and couldn’t wait to attend each day. This enthusiasm for reading that Miryam fostered will last a lifetime!” Beth, Kindergarten Parent
