The Science of Learning,
Applied for Your Child.

COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH

I begin every student's journey with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. This isn't just a formality; it's the evidence base for effective learning programs. A thorough assessment allows me to understand each student holistically, identifying their distinct strengths and specific challenges so we can precisely tailor the right educational path forward.

Assessment includes:

  • Phonological awareness

  • Reading fluency

  • Comprehension

  • Symbol imagery

 

TARGETED INVERVENTIONS

After a thorough diagnostic evaluation, I don't just "teach through a program"—l Ieverage my expert understanding of cognitive development and intervention programs and pinpoint the exact processing gaps a student has. This allows me to directly address those specific needs, strengthening only what's necessary, without wasting time on already-mastered concepts. It's an efficient, laser-focused approach designed to accelerate progress and ensure every moment of instruction counts.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
THE PROCESS

A Summit program starts with a free personal consultation where we discuss your student's unique needs and explore how I can help. After this initial conversation, we'll schedule a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to assess their fundamental skills. Based on these results, we'll create a tailored schedule, with students typically meeting with me up to two hours a day, four days a week for our most intensive program, or as little as one hour, depending on their needs.

THE IMPACT:
A NEW TRAJECTORY

In school, we read to learn and we write to share our understandings. Fluency in literacy is key to staying on top of schoolwork and makes for a confident, independent student. A Summit program aims to build the fundamental skills at the root of confident performance.

The average student gains

2-3 years of growth in the fundamentals of language and literacy with a 50-hour intensive program.
