Welcome to Kidder Educational Consulting!

Is your child struggling in school? Are you overwhelmed with the different options available for support? Are you wondering what supports, such as an Individualized Educational Program or 504 Plan, are appropriate for your child? Then you have found the right place!

I’m so glad you’re here, I’m Joanna! As a veteran special education teacher, I am able to use my experience to support your child in a variety of ways, including tutoring services inside a school setting, private tutoring outside the school setting, and support through the Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) process.

My philosophy is that all students secure the greatest gains with: prescriptive, structured, multi-sensory instruction delivered with high expectations and encouragement. While I  follow Orton-Gillingham methods, each session is tailored to student's specific needs and strengths. My relationships with various local schools allow for me to tutor during the school day so that your child receives intervention without impacting their downtime outside of school.

Testimonial

“Mrs. Kidder has done a fantastic job working with my two sons using the Orton-Gillingham approach. She is very experienced in working with kids with special needs, and flexible in adapting to challenges. My son has improved his reading and spelling from great difficulty to getting a grade of “A”, and more importantly now has the tools to engage in his love of learning.”
