My name is Kelly Wutzke. I am a veteran special education teacher of 21 years, proud wife of an Air Force Veteran, and mom to two children and two pups. My journey with dyslexia began over ten years ago with a training by Susan Barton on Dyslexia Screening and her Reading and Spelling Program. That training completely transformed my teaching. I went on to be trained by Dawn Nieman as an Orton Gillingham Classroom Teacher. Teaching children to read and advocating for those with reading disabilities has been my passion for the past ten years. It became personal when my son was diagnosed with dyslexia and I saw the anxiety it caused him in school, despite having the most amazing teachers that went above and beyond for him. I do not want that for any child when the remedy is available- a different approach to teaching them to read. I have tutored through most of my teaching career, and that is where I find the most joy- teaching individualized lessons, educating parents and families on dyslexia, and advocating for students. If I can be of help to your family, it would be my pleasure!
