Here's What Educators Are Saying:Â
Jen S.
Reading Interventionist
“Emily is the definition of a miracle worker. I have taught Middle School and High School ELA for 7 years. When I took the position as interventionist I had no idea where to even START.
I was so happy to find Emily when I did. I went into that class knowing almost nothing about the science of reading or what interventionists really do, and I left really feeling like an expert. It was thrilling to finally feel confident in myself and my abilities because I knew I had all the information I needed to help me be successful.
I really cannot say enough good things about this course. If you are even debating it, just do it. It truly has helped me in SO MANY WAYS! “

Cheri De Filippo
Reading Interventionist - California
"I have had such a wonderful experience working with Emily. I originally found her on You Tube (having watched all her videos) and was excited by the opportunity to work with her on a private consulting basis. We have worked together for six months and I can see the benefits of our time together.
With her guidance I am gaining a greater perspective on the collection of data and student growth. She is consistent with her time and makes herself available with quick responses and support for any thoughts, questions and/or concerns that may come up.
I am thankful for the professional growth opportunity that I have had with her. Beyond the professional scope Emily is kind, thoughtful, friendly, and provides such a personal approach to her mentorship."
Nicola Lott
Academic Interventionist - Canada
"I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and support I have received from working with Emily. Her practical strategies have empowered me to effectively translate research into practice as a reading interventionist.
Moreover, her mentorship has been instrumental in helping me navigate professional burnout and develop confidence in what I am doing. I am truly impressed by her ability to bring calm to chaos.
Beyond her professional expertise, her kindness shines through, making her not only an exceptional coach but also a wonderful person to work with."
