Hello! I'm glad to meet you.
I am passionate about teaching children to read, but also I am committed to helping students develop positive feelings about reading, build confidence and develop an awareness of their own learning style.
I am a State of Maine Certified Literacy Specialist with more than 13 years of experience working individually and in small groups with striving readers. I am so excited to work with you and your child to open the doors of reading for your child. |

My Philosophy
I believe that all children can learn to read with the right instruction.
Learning to read is one of the most complicated processes children will ever learn. I believe that children are active learners and develop a complex system of reading and writing strategies through explicit instruction in phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension and word solving strategies.
I work on the cutting edge of a child's learning, adding just the right amount of new learning to help them progress toward the goal of becoming an independent and fluent reader. Through carefully designed individualized lessons, students will experience magic moments as they develop skills and discover the joy of reading. |

Meet Megan
Magic Moments Tutor
MeganMy name is Megan and I am very excited to be a part of Magic Moments Tutoring.
I graduated from the University of Southern Maine in 2020 with a Liberal and Humanities Studies major and a minor in Education. I am currently enrolled as a graduate student to obtain my special and general teaching license. Throughout my experiences, I have come to treasure my ability and passion for working with children of all ages who need support to grow in their educational abilities. I especially enjoy my time working with students and introducing them to the Orton-Gillingham approach. More about me
My passion for working with dyslexic students led me to become a Dyslexia Practitioner at the Children's Dyslexia Center of Portland. I find relationships, style of teaching, and creativity to be so important when it comes to working with students. As much as I teach my students throughout their journey they teach me how to teach. I love using kinesthetic, verbal, and visual approaches to help my students grow. Most importantly, I treasure the journey while they thrive and smile as they begin to conquer their past obstacles in learning. |
