About Kali
Hello! I'm a passionate educator with over six years of experience helping children, teens, and adults become confident learners. I specialize in reading intervention, dyslexia support, ESL, phonics, grammar, writing, math, and academic enrichment. As a certified Orton-Gillingham educator trained in the Wilson Reading System and the Science of Reading, I create engaging, personalized lessons that meet every student where they are. I have extensive experience supporting students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning differences, while also helping advanced learners reach their full potential. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, build confidence, and equip every student with the skills they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Whether you're looking for foundational support or academic excellence, I'm committed to helping you achieve lasting results.

Every lesson is personalized to meet the unique needs of each learner. I use evidence-based, structured literacy instruction grounded in the Science of Reading, incorporating the Orton-Gillingham and Wilson Reading approaches to build strong foundations in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, spelling, writing, and reading comprehension. My lessons are engaging, interactive, and multisensory, making them especially effective for students with dyslexia, ADHD, learning differences, and struggling readers. I begin with an assessment to identify strengths and areas for growth, then create a customized learning plan with measurable goals. Whether your child is learning to read, catching up, or striving to excel, I provide patient, encouraging instruction that builds confidence and lasting literacy skills. I work with children, teens, and adults of all ability levels, helping every student become a confident, independent reader.

My daughter has made a real connection with Kali. She takes the time to make sure she is calm during their lessons together and keeps her on task while not being stern or rushing through the assignments. Each session is thoughtful and tailored to her needs and deficits. I appreciate all she has done to help my child maintain above average test scores to remain in her advanced classes.
Kali has been an incredible reading and writing tutor for my 10-year-old son since 4th grade. Now in 5th grade, his skills and confidence have truly soared. Even though she tutors him virtually, her innovative approach makes complex concepts as easy to grasp as if they were sitting in the same room. She is extremely flexible with her schedule and routinely provides extra resources and practice assignments for him to work on outside of sessions. I strongly recommend her services!
Kali has been a phenomenal addition to my nephew’s learning experience. Over the past six months, we have seen a tremendous improvement in his reading skills, confidence, and overall approach to learning. Her patience, encouragement, and ability to meet him where he is have made such a positive difference.
Kali creates a safe, supportive, and comfortable learning environment where he feels encouraged to ask questions, make mistakes, and continue trying without feeling discouraged. She takes the time to understand his individual learning needs and adjusts her approach to help him succeed.
It has been incredibly rewarding to see his progress, and we are so grateful for the time, dedication, and care Kali puts into every tutoring session. I would highly recommend her to any parent or family looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate tutor who genuinely cares about her students’ success.Kali has been an incredible help to my son and has made a noticeable difference in his English language skills and writing development. Writing was initially quite challenging for him, but Kali’s patient, structured, and encouraging teaching approach helped him build confidence and overcome many of those difficulties. She takes the time to understand his learning needs and adapts her teaching methods accordingly, which has allowed him to make significant progress. His improvement has been so noticeable that even his school teacher has commented on his impressive growth in writing and language skills. We are truly grateful for Kali’s patience, dedication, encouragement, and expertise. She has been a wonderful tutor and a positive influence on my son’s learning journey. I would highly recommend Kali to any family looking for an exceptional, caring, and effective tutor.
Kali works with my son, who is in fourth grade, and he really enjoys working with her. I have seen so much growth in him since he started working with Kali. She has a very patient and supportive teaching style, which helps him feel comfortable and confident while learning.
Kali balances hard work with fun by incorporating educational games at the end of each lesson. This makes learning enjoyable and keeps him engaged. We are very happy with the support and encouragement she provides!I love working with Kali! She’s the most patient, kind, and supportive tutor that I’ve ever studied with. She takes her time explaining things to me until I understand it completely and she always carries a very positive and loving attitude with her in each session. Everytime I get frustrated I feel genuinely supported and it’s very obvious she cares . You can tell she has a passion for teaching, is well versed in every subject and she loves watching her students grow. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling to find someone who understands their specific needs for learning! I wish her the very best on her journey!
Kali has taught my 11 uear old and 14 year old daughters very well for going on 5 years. She is an Excellent teacher. Full of patience and kindness. I recommend her to anyone looking for extra lessons
Kali was amazing with my kids!! A real natural! They listened to her with no problems at all. And got all of their work done on time and more . She really does have a way with them. I 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her again .
