ALL ABOUT 1N5 DYSLEXIA TUTORING
My Background
Are you looking for a tutor for dyslexia? Welcome! My name is Esther Collins and I am a private Certified Level 1 Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner. I am also Orton-Gillingham trained by the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education. I am from Houston, Texas, and now reside in the North Georgia mountains, Cleveland, GA. I am married and we have three young adults, two dogs, and one cat.
​
Before becoming a dyslexia practitioner, I began my career as a court reporter for ten years. After a period of time being a stay-at-home mom, I began my research on Orton-Gillingham to help our own children succeed in school. I have been in private practice since 2017. In March of 2020, I began to offer interventions services virtually. Now, 100% of my students are virtual due to the convenience online tutoring has to offer while students continue to make progress. Many students thrive with online instruction because it provides a comfortable, distraction-free learning environment.
I am not only a specialist for children with dyslexia, I am also a parent that has been through the dyslexic journey. Orton-Gillingham was well worth the investment into our children's educational journey. They are now successful in their education. OG is such an invaluable service for our children, and I have seen it through the lens of a parent as well as a dyslexia practitioner. Let me help ease your worries and your child's frustrations and begin the start of their journey towards being a successful reader.

WHAT IS ORTON-GILLINGHAM?
Orton-Gillingham tutoring is a structured literacy approach designed for students with dyslexia and reading difficulties. It provides explicit, step-by-step instruction using multisensory techniques to teach how sounds and letters work together. This method helps students strengthen decoding, spelling, and overall reading skills.
SIGNS YOUR CHILD MAY NEED DYSLEXIA TUTORING:
Many students who need dyslexia intervention:
​
• Guess at words instead of sounding them out
• Struggle with spelling and writing
• Read slowly or avoid reading altogether
• Reverse letters or mix up similar sounds
• Become frustrated or anxious during reading tasks
​
With the right instruction, these challenges can improve dramatically.
​
Structured literacy approaches explicitly teach the building blocks of reading so students can develop strong decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills.
WHAT IS THE WILSON READING SYSTEM?
The Wilson Reading System is a structured literacy program based on Orton-Gillingham principles. It provides systematic instruction that helps students develop phonemic awareness, decoding, spelling, and reading fluency. Wilson is widely used by dyslexia tutors to support students who need targeted reading intervention.
