I'm Marlene. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Minot State University in Minot, ND. I was a teacher for 30 years, during which time I taught first, second, and third grade. My favorite subject to teach was reading. For the last 3 years, I have been a Dyslexia tutor. I love tutoring because the students really get a chance to shine in a small group or individual setting. I love to see how their improvement with their reading skills really impacts their confidence and self-esteem.

My tutoring sessions will provide direct instruction in phonics, sight word practice, and spelling. My lessons provide the students many opportunities to practice the skills.

I am a trained Reading Recovery teacher. This program is excellent for first graders who are struggling with learning to read and write. I am trained in the Fundations program. Fundations is great for kindergarten and first grade students who are struggling to learn letters and sounds. It also provides instruction in letter formation.

I am also trained in the Wilson Reading System. This program is excellent for second through fifth graders who have trouble decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling). It provides the students with targeted phonics instruction to help them become proficient readers and spellers.

I have been a Dyslexia tutor for the past three years. I have been trained in the Wilson Reading System. This program gives systematic, targeted instruction to help the students gain automaticity in decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling).

If your child is struggling with reading please contact me for a free consultation. I will be happy to discuss your concerns and provide feedback for the program I think would be most beneficial for your child.

Logan Enjoys Marlene

Marlene is amazing and had the most inviting and upbeat personality for kids. My son, Logan, loves having sessions with Marlene and she keeps him engaged the entire time. He is now starting to read words and short sentences by breaking up each sound and I am thrilled on what's next to come for him. Logan is definitely progressing with Marlene. She's the best!

Knowledgeable, patient, and pleasant tutor. My grandkids love her tutoring.

Even in the middle of the pandemic, Marlene found a way to provide a great way to tutor my grandkids. She always has their best interest at heart. She looks at their strengths and weaknesses and works accordingly so it makes them look forward to their time with her. I highly recommended Marlene for your tutoring needs, especially in the area of reading!

Knowledgeable and kind!

She knows what she is doing and loves it! Her first session is always an assessment to plan how she will be tutoring. My daughter felt very comfortable with her, which is very important. We are looking forward to more sessions.

Marlene has been very understanding and patient with my child. She does not get agitated with my child and she is very thorough in explaining things to my child too.
