Reading tutor in Greenacres and Palm Springs

Greenacres and Palm Springs sit just west of my home base in Lake Worth Beach, along Lake Worth Road and 10th Avenue North. I teach reading, writing, and study skills here, in person or online. Families with a Unique Abilities Scholarship (FES-UA) or a Personalized Education Program (PEP) account can often pay through Step Up.

Where we can meet

  • Your homeAnywhere in Greenacres or Palm Springs, when the schedule allows
  • Palm Springs Public Library217 Cypress Lane. A quiet public space; its website does not mention study rooms.
  • Greenacres Branch, Palm Beach County Library System3750 Jog Road. Study rooms are first come, first served.
  • OnlineHandy on busy weeks, with the same lesson plan.

Each library sets its own rules for rooms and tutoring, and I follow them. Both cities are close to home base, so in-person sessions usually fit within about 30 minutes.

Local families

Free resources close to home that pair well with tutoring. Check each one's schedule before you go.

Right next door

Greenacres and Palm Springs sit just west of Lake Worth Beach, so they are some of the shortest drives I make. In-person sessions usually fit easily within my travel radius of about 30 minutes, and online sessions are there for busy weeks.

Your child can start a session without a long wait for me to arrive. That makes a steady twice-weekly schedule easier to keep.

Main roads instead of neighborhood names

Official neighborhood names are hard to pin down in both cities, so I go by the main roads. I serve families along Lake Worth Road, 10th Avenue North, Forest Hill Boulevard, and Melaleuca Lane, and between Congress Avenue, Military Trail, and Jog Road.

That covers the older streets of Greenacres’ Original Section and the village streets of Palm Springs. If you live near one of those roads, in-person sessions are usually possible.

Drive times

From home base, the Palm Springs Public Library on Cypress Lane is roughly 10 to 15 minutes away. The county library’s Greenacres Branch on Jog Road is roughly 15 to 22 minutes. These are estimates for typical traffic, not promises.

Quiet places nearby

Some families prefer a public spot over a busy house. The Greenacres Branch has study rooms, but they are first come, first served, so we would keep a backup plan. The Palm Springs Public Library is another quiet option, though its website does not mention study rooms.

Each library sets its own rules, and I follow them. We choose the spot together on the fit call.

Structured lessons for dyslexia

My dyslexia and reading lessons are Orton-Gillingham-informed: explicit, step by step, and multisensory. Each skill builds on the last, and every lesson reviews what came before so it sticks.

This is teaching, not therapy or diagnosis. If your child has not been evaluated and you have questions, I can share what I notice in lessons and suggest who to ask next. See dyslexia tutoring for what lessons include.

Learning English and learning to read

I am ESOL endorsed, so children who are learning English get reading lessons built for them. We pair phonics with vocabulary and sentence practice, so new words carry meaning, not just sounds.

Ready when you are

A free 15-minute fit call is the simplest way to start. Tell me where you live and what you are seeing at home, and you will get my recommendation the same day.

Step Up in Greenacres and Palm Springs

Families in Greenacres and Palm Springs with a Unique Abilities Scholarship (FES-UA) or a Personalized Education Program (PEP) account can often pay for tutoring through Step Up For Students, with direct pay in the Education Market Assistant (EMA). The rules are the same across Palm Beach County, and my independent guide explains them in plain language.

Questions from Greenacres and Palm Springs parents

How close is Palm Springs to you?

Very close. The Palm Springs Public Library is roughly 10 to 15 minutes from my home base, depending on traffic. That short drive makes in-person sessions easy to plan.

We live off Jog Road in Greenacres. Is that too far?

Usually not. The Greenacres Branch library on Jog Road is roughly 15 to 22 minutes from home base, inside my usual travel radius of about 30 minutes. If traffic makes a time hard, we can meet online that day.

Can we switch between in-person and online?

Yes. Some weeks a home session works best, and other weeks online is easier. The lesson plan stays the same either way, so your child keeps the same routine.
