Fort Wayne Reading Tutor
My name is Kate MacDonald and I tutor students with dyslexia out of my home. I am a homeschool graduate and began tutoring struggling readers as a business in 2015. I tutor students of all ages, from 2nd grade through high school and beyond. References are available upon request.
I became interested in helping dyslexic students because my younger brother struggled with learning to read for many years. I helped my mom with his instruction when she would get frustrated. In 2013 he was finally diagnosed with dyslexia. I was eager to continue to help. I’ve completed my brother’s therapy as a proficient reader and found it’s a joy for me to open up the world of books to struggling readers.
I now offer private one-on-one instruction with local struggling readers.
As a base I use the Wilson Reading System with a mixture of right-brained and Orton-Gillingham tactics. I am in the process of obtaining certification in Orton-Gillingham including courses through the University of London which gives me a unique skill set to assist your student. I presently charge $35.00 per session. It is essential for learning, especially with dyslexia, that students have consistency, so I suggest three to four lessons per week and have a minimum requirement of two lessons per week. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, or call me if I can help you in any way. As a student I loved reading, and I would love to assist you in opening up the world of reading to your student.”

My son was frustrated and getting angry. In 8th grade he was diagnosed as dyslexic and was reading at a 3rd grade level. Kate alleviated stress from our relationship by giving him confidence through her therapy. Upon completion of dyslexia tutoring with Kate, she'd given me back a son who can read his high school Chemistry book without assistance." - Dave M. |
