Creative Insights Tutoring
Offering individual tutoring in Portland, Oregon
Creative Insights Tutoring makes the NEWS!
I was interviewed by our local television station to discuss how the pandemic has affected students' learning and suggest ways to help. My essential message is that the children will get caught up and thrive with the combined efforts of parents, teachers and tutors working as a team.
Creative, caring and inspiring tutor with over 30 years of teaching experience in elementary education. Tutoring students in language arts, reading and writing. Specializing in teaching students with dyslexia. Composition and essay writing support also available for middle school, junior high and high school students. Personalized learning designed for each student. Affordable rates.
Building Self Esteem
Giving students one on one support helps children build confidence in their learning capacities. Often times a child's learning is blocked by his/her lack of confidence or disorientation. Warm, encouraging, one on one tutoring helps children trust their ability to learn and gives them the necessary tools to succeed.
Summer is almost here.
Parents of students I have worked with have shared how valuable summer tutoring is for maintaining their child's progress and hard earned skills. Setting up summer tutoring helps ensure your child's success.

Success Stories
The greatest rewards in tutoring students are seeing their progress and building relationships. If I'm doing my job well, there comes an exciting moment when students are ready to graduate from working with me. This means that the students I tutor have mastered the skills needed to be successful in school.
Does your child need extra support with reading and spelling? Are you seeking one on one tutoring with an experienced and caring tutor? Creative Insights Tutoring specializes in teaching phonological awareness and phonemic awareness. Individualized lessons are taught through reading decodable books, spelling and writing exercises, games and activities.
I also utilize popular graphic novels to strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary building and essay writing.

Testimonials
"Our daughter has always struggled with learning her phonics and in reading. We tried different reading programs for years to try to help her. Finally, after lots of doctor’s appointments and testing, we discovered that she had dyslexia. I researched many different dyslexia programs to see what the perfect fit would be for our daughter, and we have been blessed that we found Meg. Meg has worked with our daughter for almost 5 years and in the past 5 years, we have seen our daughter blossom into a stronger reader.
Our daughter and Meg have reached so many reading goals that at the time didn’t seem possible. They have built a wonderfully strong bond. Meg has always been encouraging, supportive, understanding, and enjoyable to work with. Our daughter loves to work with Meg, even when the work is challenging. Meg has changed our daughter’s life for the better. We are very grateful that we found Meg."

"My family has been working with Meg for almost three years. My daughter adores her and has made fantastic progress in this time. Meg is a great communicator, and sends really detailed reports on my child's progression and ways we can support her at home. If you are looking for someone to motivate and encourage your child, support your family and work cooperatively with schools look no further than Meg!"- Dania T
"Meg is fantastic! We have seen much growth in our daughter that we attribute to Meg’s tutoring over the past year and a half. She has created a highly personalized approach to tutoring our daughter that has reading challenges and she works closely with our daughter to meet her goals. Meg is very dedicated to her students; she is nurturing and creates a positive environment for learning. We also appreciate her flexibility with tutoring sessions – where and when – to accommodate our busy schedule." - Carrie K
