Building Confidence Through Structured Literacy

​As an Orton-Gillingham Academy Fellow and parent of two children with dyslexia, I help teachers, tutors, and parents deliver structured literacy that helps dyslexic students become confident, successful readers!

Welcome to Orton Gillingham Coach!

At Orton Gillingham Coach, my mission is simple: to support, coach, and give expert advice to  OG-trained teachers, tutors, and parents in creating lessons that are effective, engaging, and easy to plan—so students with dyslexia can truly thrive.

As a Fellow of the Orton Gillingham Academy (OGA), I have trained hundreds of teachers, tutors, and parents in the OG approach. I also continue to work directly with dyslexic students of all ages, giving me practical insight into both the challenges they face and the progress they can achieve. As the parent of two children with dyslexia, I understand these experiences personally as well.

I combine professional expertise and lived experience to offer resources, strategies, and AI-powered tools that save time, simplify planning, and increase instructional impact.​

What My Clients Say

Doing coaching sessions with Lori was an amazing learning opportunity. She provided the guidance and structure I needed to take my tutoring sessions to the next level. Before working with Lori I felt like I was treading water - always trying to figure out the next steps and worrying that I wasn't addressing my students' underlying needs. Lori is the kind of teacher you wish you had when you were a kid!

 

She is kind and understanding, yet has high expectations and really helpful feedback. I never felt like a question was too basic or silly to ask. She has a wealth of knowledge and was so generous in sharing her years of experience and resources with me. If you're on the fence about coaching, make the jump and book a session with Lori.

You won't regret it!
