Testimonials
"My experience with Samantha Kritzberg has been wonderful. As my son's dyslexia teacher, she demonstrated patience, compassion, and understanding of his individual needs. She created a safe, encouraging environment where he felt supported rather than frustrated. Through personalized lessons and consistent encouragement, my son made noticeable progress in reading and writing. He truly enjoyed his time with Samantha, and I'm grateful for her commitment, professionalism, and care."
From Nicole, a parent:
"Mrs. Kritzberg is a true professional offering a kind and compassionate process for all students. She is highly educated and trained in her field with a variety of options to assist each individual student. As a mother of three children, she understands the needs of a student at every grade level."
From Trini, a school administrator:
"Mrs. Kritzberg was an absolute blessing from the beginning of our journey. She guided us through the entire diagnosis process—from Scottish Rite applications to understanding test results for both our girls (3rd grade and kindergarten). She advocated for our family every step of the way while addressing our concerns as parents. She immediately put a plan in place to help them thrive. Our kindergartner had a 50% increase in her reading assessments after just a few months. We saw dramatic improvement in both girls' reading fluency and comprehension. Mrs. Kritzberg went above and beyond, offering weekly summer tutoring to keep the momentum going. Her kind, patient demeanor works beautifully with children. Our girls continue to grow their reading skills thanks to the foundation she provided.
From Jessica, a parent:
"It was a privilege to work with Mrs. Kritzberg. Her expertise in dyslexia intervention was exceptional. My second-grade students showed tremendous growth under her care through research-based strategies and explicit phonics instruction. She consistently advocated for her students and communicated effectively with teachers and parents."
From Linda, a second grade teacher:
"Samantha's passion for learning and teaching shines through in everything she does. She brings warmth, kindness, and ease to every interaction. She has a remarkable ability to process information and offer insights that genuinely move work forward. Perceptive, intelligent, and endlessly supportive, Samantha elevates every team she's part of. Anyone who has the chance to work with her—or learn from her—is incredibly fortunate."
From Nancy, a middle school teacher:
"I had the privilege of working closely with Mrs. K for two years and saw firsthand her deep knowledge of the dyslexia curriculum. With limitless patience, she helps students not only succeed academically but also gain confidence and self-worth. Her students made remarkable strides in both their classwork and in the classroom."
From Cheryl, a reading specialist:
"It is my pleasure to recommend Samantha as she begins her own dyslexia practice. I have had the opportunity to work closely with her, and I can confidently say she is a skilled, professional, and dedicated dyslexia specialist.
Samantha is highly organized and consistently uses the Orton-Gillingham approach—a systematic, phonics-based method—in her teaching. Her deep knowledge of dyslexia interventions allows her to tailor instruction to each learner's individual needs.
She communicates clearly and maintains a calm, professional presence in all situations. Children respond incredibly well to her—she has a natural ability to make students feel supported, confident, and capable, even when the work is challenging.
Samantha's expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for her students make her an exceptional provider. Any family seeking dyslexia support would be fortunate to work with her."

Private Dyslexia Therapy/Literacy tutoring
Unlike general tutoring, which may focus on homework help or grade-level content, dyslexia therapy targets the root of your child’s reading struggles by building foundational skills in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
It’s not a quick fix- it’s a transformation process that creates lasting change in how your child reads.
