Hi! My name is Annette Bannister, and I am a certified dyslexia tutor. I love helping struggling students master reading and writing. I have had the experience of helping dyslexic students jump several grade levels in their reading abilities while using a structured literacy approach, and that is one of the greatest feelings in the world--not only for me, but also for my students!

I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you further about how I can help your child grow and succeed in reading and writing. I firmly believe in the intelligence of my students, and I deeply understand that it is not that they are not capable of learning to read and spell--they just have not been taught in the way that is right for them. I would love to be part of changing that for them.
