From Frustration to Reading Success: Personalized Tutoring for Struggling Readers

Hi, I'm Susan von Cappeln, and I specialize in tutoring reading. My focus is on foundational phonics skills, fluency, and comprehension to help students build strong reading abilities.

After Endless Hours of Effort, Is Your Child Still Struggling to Read?

It’s exhausting watching your child wrestle with words, stumble through sentences, and end up frustrated or embarrassed. For many parents, this challenge is unexpected—they’ve read aloud, tried countless programs, and spent time practicing with their child. Yet, despite these efforts, their child still falls behind, grappling with basics like letter sounds or struggling to understand what they read.

You’ve Heard "They’ll Catch Up" or "Just Give It Time"—But You’re Still Worried

Each school year brings new challenges, and with reading as the foundation for all other learning, the stakes feel high. Maybe your child is even avoiding books altogether, convinced that reading is “too hard” or “boring.” The last thing you want is for them to feel defeated, fall further behind, or lose confidence in themselves.

And as a parent, you’re tired of waiting. Waiting for things to “click,” for progress to come naturally. You’re ready for an approach that works.

A Reading Journey That Starts with Understanding and Ends in Success

Imagine your child gaining confidence with each reading session, understanding words without struggling, and feeling proud to read aloud.

Though my past experience as classroom teacher, reading interventionist, and specialized reading tutor I use proven, research-based methods to meet the unique needs of struggling readers.

With my 1:1 or small group virtual sessions, I create a safe space where your child can learn foundational skills, unlock reading fluency, and genuinely enjoy the process.

My approach is tailored to students with dyslexia or other reading challenges, and I provide highly personalized strategies that help them overcome frustration and feel empowered to move forward with confidence—no matter how frustrated or discouraged they might feel right now.
