Turning on the
Light of Reading
Evidence-based tutoring support for struggling readers in the Greenville, SC area
Hi, I’m Christina, Your Local Reading Tutor
As a certified reading tutor and educator—and a parent of a dyslexic child—I’m passionate about helping struggling readers succeed.
I use EBLI, an evidence-based, speech-to-print approach that teaches students how language actually works. Instead of guessing, they learn to break words apart, recognize patterns, and read with confidence.
For many students, this is when reading finally clicks.
My goal is not just stronger reading skills, but confident, capable children who feel proud of their progress.

About MY METHODOLOGY
An Individualized Approach to Literacy Success
I use an evidence-based approach to reading instruction that builds strong foundations in decoding, fluency, and comprehension. For more about this approach, Evidence Based Literacy Instruction (EBLI), see here.
Each session is personalized to your child’s needs and designed to build both skill and confidence.

Voices of Success
My daughter used to guess at words and get frustrated quickly. After working with Christina, reading finally started to make sense. She's more confident now and even chooses to read on her own!
