ABOUT ME
Hello! I am Karla Kramer, and I grew up right here in Oregon in the foothills of the coast range
Aside from my work with children and adults with dyslexia, I am an avid gardener and I have designed many landscapes throughout my life. I love to spend time in the out-of-doors, hiking, camping and sitting by a river or creek.
I am moderately dyslexic, and can understand the challenges my students face.
My work is life changing for my students and I love being a part of that process.
I utilize the Barton Reading and Spelling System as my foundational program.
Orton Gillingham-based, it provides a multi-sensory, structured and explicit curriculum that has proven successful for students with dylsexia for over 30 years.
Both reading and spelling are integrated into my program.
My 1:1 teaching program gives each child focused time with me, creating an effective environment for learning.
Prior to becoming a specialized dyslexia tutor, I worked as a reading interventionist for the Oregon public school system.
I have been tutoring privately for 7 years using the Barton Reading & Spelling System as my core curriculum, providing literacy opportunities for the 1-in-5 students that have dyslexia and must have instruction in a different way.
My goal is to create a learning environment that is relaxed, inspiring and fun...whether in-studio or remote. My belief is that each student is unique and that dyslexia is an opportunity, not a limitation!
My studio is located in a great old home in SE Portland, Oregon.
