Many families know something isn't quite right with their child's reading or spelling—but aren't sure why, what their child needs, or where to begin.
Parents are surrounded by information, advice, and opinions, but clear, practical guidance can be difficult to find.
Ripple Tree Learning was created to simplify a complex literacy journey by giving parents the clarity, knowledge, and confidence to make informed decisions and support their child every step of the way.
Across every stage of my career—from finance and healthcare to literacy education—I was drawn to the same challenge: making complex problems easier to understand and creating practical systems that help people move forward with confidence.
Ripple Tree Learning is the result of bringing those experiences together.
I've combined evidence-informed Structured Literacy and assessment, my training as a Certified Orton-Gillingham Practitioner, years of experience working with children and families, systems thinking, and my own experience as a parent into a clear, step-by-step framework designed specifically for families.
My literacy work includes supporting children with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences, as well as children experiencing reading and spelling difficulties without a diagnosis.
My goal isn't simply to teach literacy.
It's to help parents understand their child's learning, know what to do next, and feel confident supporting them along the way.
✔ A clear, step-by-step framework designed specifically for parents
✔ Personalized guidance based on your child's strengths and learning needs
✔ Evidence-informed Structured Literacy
✔ Practical tools that fit into real family life
✔ Systems thinking that simplifies complex literacy challenges
✔ Guidance that builds lasting confidence—not dependence
Families don't just need more information—they need a way to make sense of it.
That's why I created Ripple Tree Learning. I've brought together evidence-informed Structured Literacy, assessment, years of experience working with children and families, systems thinking, and my own experience as a parent into a clear, practical framework that helps families understand their child's learning and confidently move forward.
Sometimes that means empowering parents through the Parent Program. Sometimes it means providing individualized 1:1 instruction. It always begins with understanding what each child needs and choosing the right path from there.
