Virtual Dyslexia Therapy- Research Based Reading Intervention

From 147 C$ /h

I have tried my best to educate myself on different interventions that would help my students throughout my teaching journey. When it came to students with dyslexia, my research was taking me down several different avenues. There is a lot of information available on dyslexia interventions that are centered around personal successes. While these resources were helpful, I needed to take my interventions a step further for my students that were really struggling with reading. This is when I found Take Flight: A Comprehensive Intervention for Students with Dyslexia.

What is Take Flight?
Take Flight (TF) is a multisensory, structured approach to teaching written by the education staff of the Luke Waites Center for Dyslexia and Learning Disorders at Scottish Rite for Children (SRC) hospital. Take Flight builds on the success of previous dyslexia intervention programs developed at SRC: Alphabet Phonics, Dyslexia Training Program and TSRH Literacy Program. It is a two year, Orton-Gillingham based curriculum designed for students 7 years of age and older who have been identified as having dyslexia.

The reason Take Flight initially caught my attention is because the whole program is developed based on research! Research and data! These are two words I absolutely love as an educator
Who Can Administer Take Flight?
Take Flight trained therapists are called Certified Academic Language Therapists (CALTs). CALTs have extensive training needed to serve students with dyslexia.

In order to become a CALT a person must:

Hold a bachelor’s degree
Go through a two year training program
Complete a minimum of 700 clinical teaching hours

About Me

I’m Andreah and I have always had a passion for working with children. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Communication Science and Disorders- Speech Language Pathology. My life path led me to become a teacher and ultimately an Academic Language Therapist. As a teacher, I primarily worked with children who had been identified as having a learning disability in academic areas or who struggled with attention.

Dyslexia Therapy
I’m extremely thankful to be an Academic Language Therapist. This is a specific two year program of extensive training and hundreds of clinical teaching hours (700 hours minimum to be exact!) that allows me to provide dyslexia therapy. The intervention I am trained in is called Take Flight and I am currently in my advanced year of training. I have been blown away at the progress children make from our dyslexia therapy sessions! It has been such a wonderful and gratifying experience to be a part of their journey!

In Reading Therapy we will work on understanding where your difficulties or challenges lie.
We will work on:
Phonemic Awareness
Phonemic Blends
Sight Words
Decoding
Syllable Recognition and breaking words up into Syllables
Reading Speed
CVC blends
CVCC blends
Beginning and ending sound blends
Reading rules
and so much more...

During each lesson we will work on building this skill by starting where the person is at, revising skills touched on, and building their confidence towards where they could be, because believing in yourself, is the first step to progression.

As a specialist in academic support with nearly 6 years of full-time experience, I provide personalized lessons in a center for children with difficulties (or online): CONCENTRATION - UNDERSTANDING INSTRUCTIONS - ASSIMILATING INFORMATION - COMPLETING EXERCISES.

SUBJECTS: French, mathematics, English...

I am an expert in pedagogy with training in PEDAGOGY, KNOWLEDGE TRANSMISSION and COMMUNICATION.
These trainings allow me to be very attentive, patient, to understand the child well and to know what to do to solve the problems he encounters.
After a few hours, the child will quickly see an improvement.
- I listen to him and communicate with him at his level; I do not belittle him; I congratulate and encourage him.
- First step: I help him unblock, I make him understand what he hasn't assimilated.
- Second step: I make him do exercises that he will SUCCEED in, starting with small, simple exercises, then I increase the difficulty gradually, until he achieves a satisfactory result.
The child begins to have confidence in himself again, he flourishes... and his grades subsequently improve.

I love communicating with children and helping them by sharing my knowledge: they're eager to learn... as long as they're encouraged and taught in a fun way. 😃

Learning should be fun; they learn and retain information much faster that way! ☀️

This lesson aims to help the student differentiate and correctly use a / à, and / est, son / sont, using fun and interactive activities.

The session begins with a detective game where the student spots homophone errors in sentences. He then discovers the rules using flashcards that associate each word with a simple trick.

Various games help to anchor this knowledge: the target game to complete sentences, the right path game where the student physically chooses the right answer, and the hidden words challenge where he guesses and justifies a homophone in a sentence.

Finally, the student becomes a teacher and invents sentences for the adult to complete. A quick review concludes the session, with a small challenge to complete at home.

Learning is based on manipulation, play and experimentation, making the session dynamic and effective.

Is your child struggling with math, but you know they have the potential to succeed? I offer tailored support for students with dyslexia using a specially designed teaching method.
A first math course in middle school can be unsettling for a student moving from elementary to middle school. It is therefore essential to lay a solid foundation, both in mathematical concepts and in working methods. Whole numbers and decimals: The emphasis is on the manipulation of numbers, whether for simple calculations or problem solving. We review the basics of the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), with particular emphasis on Euclidean division and decimal division.

My name is Lucía, and I'm a qualified English teacher with over four years of experience teaching students from all over the world. I offer English classes for children, teenagers, and adults of all ages and levels. Students can choose to learn in groups or individually. In my classes, you'll not only learn grammar and vocabulary in isolation, but you'll also develop your speaking skills so you feel confident speaking the language in any context. Materials will be personalized and adapted to each student's level and needs.

In addition to traditional classes, you can opt for conversation classes. These classes are for people who want to have conversations about any topic entirely in English, in a more relaxed setting than traditional classes. These can also be in small groups or just with the teacher.

Thanks to my Master's degree in Medical-Health Translation, I also offer specialized English classes, such as Business English or English for doctors and healthcare personnel.

Finally, I also offer classes for academic support, preparation for international exams, travel, etc.

Learning with dyslexia, ADHD, or any other learning difficulty can be frustrating. Especially when you are expected to study in the same way as everyone else, despite your brain just working differently. I know this from personal experience.

I am a law student with dyslexia and ADHD, and over the years I have developed practical strategies that have helped me study, stay organised, and succeed academically. I now want to share those tools with children, teenagers and adults who may be facing similar challenges.

For younger students, I can provide homework and study support, helping them understand how they learn best and how to use practical tools such as mind maps, flashcards, digital resources, structured study sessions and focus techniques. If they already have a diagnosis, I can also help them understand the accommodations and learning tools available to them at school and encourage them to become more confident in communicating their needs.

Just as importantly, I understand the frustration that can come from teachers, classmates or others misunderstanding dyslexia, ADHD as well as other learning difficulties. My aim is to create a supportive, judgement-free environment where students can ask questions, experiment with different study methods and build confidence in their abilities.

My sessions are also suitable for adults who were diagnosed later in life, or who never had the opportunity to learn strategies for managing dyslexia or ADHD. Together, we can work on organisation, studying, reading, writing, planning and finding practical systems that fit your everyday life.

English & Italian lessons

I also offer English and Italian conversation, tutoring and study support for students with or without learning difficulties.

Having studied in both the IB/English-language school system and the Italian state school system, I am familiar with the different expectations, teaching styles and challenges students may encounter in both.

In summary, I would love to help with:

English and Italian conversation
Homework and schoolwork
Study organisation and learning strategies
Dyslexia/DSA and ADHD-friendly study techniques
Mind maps, flashcards and free digital study tools
Reading and writing support
Building confidence and independence in studying
Cambridge English exam preparation

My goal is not to force students into one method, but to help them discover the tools and techniques that work best for them and approach academic work and later their professional lives with confidence and security.

Build your reading confidence, expand your vocabulary and understand more of what you read through lessons designed around your goals.

I work with beginners, intermediate learners and adults who find reading difficult or want to strengthen their skills. You may be learning English as an additional language, returning to study, managing dyslexia or simply wanting to read more confidently for work and everyday life.

Depending on your needs, lessons can focus on:

- **Reading foundations:** connecting letters and sounds, recognising spelling patterns and reading unfamiliar words.
- **Fluency:** developing smoother, more accurate reading at a comfortable pace.
- **Vocabulary:** understanding useful words, word roots, prefixes and suffixes, and using new vocabulary confidently.
- **Comprehension:** identifying main ideas, following arguments, making inferences and explaining what a text means.
- **Practical reading:** working with articles, emails, workplace documents, study materials or topics that interest you.

I begin by finding out what you can already do and where you need support. Lessons combine clear explanation, guided practice and constructive feedback, with regular opportunities to revisit and apply what you have learned. For adults, materials are age-appropriate and relevant to your interests.

With extensive teaching experience, EAL expertise and Orton-Gillingham practitioner training, I offer patient, structured support in a respectful environment. You can ask questions, take your time and work towards becoming a more confident, independent reader.

Individual lessons for primary school children who are struggling with reading and writing, in English, Spanish or both, and for students from British and international schools who need help with the English they use in class.

Before starting, I speak with the family and, if there is one, I read the evaluation from the psychologist or speech therapist treating the child. With that information, I prepare a short-term plan with achievable goals within a few weeks.

The sessions focus on phonological awareness, decoding, reading comprehension, spelling, written expression, and study organization. I prepare the materials for each student, using pictograms and visual aids when helpful.

Each month the family receives a brief summary of the work done. If the school requests it, I coordinate with the tutor or the guidance department.

I don't make diagnoses. If an evaluation is needed, I recommend that the family request one from a licensed psychologist or speech therapist.

About me: I am a primary school teacher specializing in special education, which trains teachers to work with students with special educational needs. Since 2018, I have worked at a special education school in Madrid, where I am in charge of the English department. My English is at a native level (C1+ on the British Council's Aptis exam), and I hold the CELTA, the Cambridge English teaching certificate.
