One-on-One Tutoring for Encino Students
From the hillside streets above Ventura Boulevard to the neighborhoods near Lake Balboa, Encino families want the same thing: a child who feels confident about school. One-on-one tutoring is one of the most direct ways to get there, because every minute is spent on what your child needs.
I come to Encino from my home base in Agoura Hills for in-home sessions, or we can meet at the Encino-Tarzana Branch Library. Reading instruction is structured and multisensory, based on the Orton-Gillingham approach.

Supporting Encino Elementary Students
Encino is part of LAUSD. I work with students from Encino Charter Elementary, Lanai Road Elementary, Emelita Academy Charter and Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter, as well as private schools such as Our Lady of Grace, St. Cyril of Jerusalem and Valley Beth Shalom Day School.
Strong reading and math skills in the elementary years help kids handle the bigger workload of middle school with confidence.
