What My Students and Their Parents Have to Say
When my son was little, he struggled to read. At one point, he was 2 grade levels behind. A wonderful woman was brought into our lives and helped him to find ways around the speed bumps. He began to read at a rapid pace ALL THE TIME. I will always be grateful for the love he has found and the way he cares for every book he has. Every couple of days, he's into a new book or series and this view will never get old. Thank you Roxanne!

Miss Roxanne is a wonderful teacher who helped my daughter progress in her reading skills a great deal. She really spent time getting to know my daughter on a personal level which was key in her academic progression and success. Miss Roxanne is professional, consistent in her work and accommodating to meet the needs of the individual child. I would highly recommend Miss Roxanne to anyone who is looking for a teacher who specializes in the Orton-Gillingham method.

Our daughter’s experience with Mrs. Roxanne has been incredible over the last two years. We’ve seen an increase in our daughter's skills, confidence and love for learning since beginning to work with Where the Sidewalk Begins. She genuinely enjoys her time with Mrs. Roxanne and having the one on one interaction has been instrumental in elevating her educational journey. We feel our commitment to the program should have a lasting impact for our daughter.
Our son has been working with Ms. V for the past year and he has grown tremendously. His test scores and confidence are a positive reflection of his time spent in tutoring! Her hands on approach is filled with positive reinforcement and out of the box thinking, that will help him for years to come. We are forever grateful.

Orton Gillingham was recommended to me after my son was diagnosed with dyslexia. To say he was ‘struggling’ would be an understatement. I was referred to Roxanne by two of her clients and I was so thankful she squeezed us in for an evaluation. Before starting OG tutoring, we had tried EVERYTHING-reading tutors, online programs, IEP adjustments, and more resource minutes. My husband and I could see huge improvements after only a few weeks with Roxanne. She tailored every lesson specifically to him & made it FUN! She took extra time to really get to know our son’s personality & emotional needs as well as academic ones. We’ve been clients of Roxanne’s for 15 months now, and I can honestly say my son would never be thriving in school without her. I can’t thank her enough for all the progress and confidence my son has gained from working with her. Orton Gillingham works, it works even better with a fabulous teacher, and Roxanne is one of the best!
My daughter, who struggles in reading, spelling, and writing, willingly came to the tutoring sessions with Mrs. Roxanne. By building a connection with her students, Roxanne creates fun and exciting ways of learning. She pays close attention to what each child likes, their individual strengths, and how they learn best to create a learning plan that produces positive outcomes. As a result of the tremendous effort she applies to her work, my daughter’s reading level has increased, her handwriting is crisp, and she is more confident at school. Working with Roxanne has been a game changer for my daughter’s educational journey! We are so thankful for the time and individualized care we have received.
