Experience: 3 yrs

I’m an enthusiastic reading and literacy instructor specializing in dyslexia intervention and early reading development. After earning my degree in Education and Literacy Studies from the University of Texas at Austin (2025), I began offering one-on-one tutoring focused on evidence-based reading strategies, phonemic awareness, and spelling patterns based on structured literacy and multisensory instruction.

During my studies, I participated in a year-long practicum working with children identified with dyslexia and language-based learning differences. I also assisted in reading clinics that helped K–8 learners improve decoding, comprehension, and confidence through individualized support.

I’m passionate about helping students rediscover the joy of reading while developing concrete tools they can apply in the classroom and beyond. My sessions are energetic, encouraging, and built on empathy — every learner deserves to feel capable and supported.

“Evan’s sessions are focused and positive. My son has started to believe in himself again while reading — it’s been amazing to see his progress.”
