In my private tutoring practice I combine the two most effective methods in teaching individuals with reading disabilities learn how to read.
My powerful intervention program gives students the tools they need to open the door to literacy while learning from the Multi-sensory Orton-Gillingham Approach and Phono-Graphix Reading Method.
A thorough assessment is performed to determine exactly what reading level the student is. Each lesson is then tailored to the unique learning style and needs of the student. Teaching is done in a direct, multi-sensory, sequential manner where the student is taken step-by-step from basic concepts that progress to more complex language functions at their own pace and comfort level.
Personalized instruction is done using a combination of visual, auditory, kinesthetic and tactile techniques. This powerful approach opens up all the learning pathways simultaneously and this is when great learning takes hold.
My program empowers students and restores confidence in their abilities. I work with all ages and levels from child to adult. I also teach children with special needs, French Immersion students and provide targeted reading instruction to English Language Learners. I prove to my students that they are intelligent and are entitled to succeed and to reach their potential.

Andrea Galvin is without question the most gifted teacher my family has every met. While Andrea is the epitome of professionalism, she is also incredibly warm and genuinely caring. Andrea is thorough in her assessment and treatment planning and she provides regular feedback to keep our family on track. I could not recommend a better OG tutor for our son and he is always excited to attend her sessions. We travel to her multiple times per week and it is totally worth it!

My daughter went here for over 2 years, and I could not be happier with the progress she made over that time. She went from struggling to remember the letters of the alphabet and the phonetic sounds each make, thus being far behind her grade level, to being able to fluently read and understand grade level text. Furthermore, she had fun doing it! She was always quite happy to go for her tutoring at Read to Me Learning Centre, and she too feels enormous pride for how far she's come. If your child is struggling with these skills, I highly recommend you contact Andrea at Read to Me Learning Centre.
