About Joan
I am is a licensed teacher, trained in the Orton-Gillingham method and specialize in Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and learning disabilities.
I attended Bemidji State University where I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education with a math emphasis in November 1992. In May of 1992 I completed my kindergarten student teaching and kindergarten intercultural course work at Vaxjo University in Sweden. I later went on to complete course work in all four levels of the Orton-Gillingham Method through the Upper Midwest Branch of the International Dyslexia Association, Orton-Gillingham of Minnesota and Hamline University.
I started my teaching career as an enrichment and remedial kindergarten reading teacher in Bloomington, Minnesota. I worked for 5 years as a special education kindergarten teacher at Groves Academy in St. Louis Park Minnesota. I continued my passion to help students in the Hopkins & Robinsdale School Districts as a reading and math tutor. Before beginning in private practice I worked as an academic therapist with the Integrative Medicine Clinic at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis and Park Nicollet Alexander Center in Eden Prairie.
While working with students with learning disabilities, my passion for teaching reading and spelling blossomed. I started researching dyslexia and science-based programs because I wasn't seeing the progress I expected from struggling readers.
I began my private practice in 2006. I am eager to work with students who have learning needs, especially dyslexia.
I live with my family and tutor out of my home office located in Bloomington, MN. I offer both in person and online tutoring modalities.
I find it a privilege to help students with special educational needs and I want to work with families dedicated to providing the very best instruction for their children

English
I am is a licensed teacher with training and experience in all 4 levels of the Orton Gillingham Method, Wilson Reading Method, Project Read, Kansas Writing Strategies, Read Naturally and Hand Writing Without Tears.
My 50 minute lessons are multisensory based and many of the above modalities are incorporated my lessons to help meetvmy students needs. I do realize some schools use various programs, and I am willing to work to create a tutoring program that works to support skills taught in their home schools.
It is recommended to do 2 or more sessions a week to see the best retention of skills.
