Online Reading Tutoring for Students with Learning Disorders

TK–1st–gradeI’mWelcome
My name is Chelle Schauben, and I specialize in online tutoring for elementary school students with learning differences such as ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and sensory processing disorders. My mission is to provide personalized support to help every student thrive academically.

Certifications and Experience
I am certified as an Associate and Classroom Educator in the Orton-Gillingham Approach to Teaching Literacy. Using the structured, multisensory curriculum of the Pride Reading Program, I have successfully tutored children, empowering them to build essential literacy skills.

Educational Background
I believe every learner can thrive with the right tools. I hold a dual B.A. in English and Communications & Multimedia, plus three master’s degrees—in English & Creative Writing, Educational Therapy, and Education. I’m now pursuing my fourth: an M.Ed. in Special Education, along with a Preliminary Education Specialist Credential in Mild–Moderate Support Needs (Internship Option) through National University’s Sanford College of Education.

Teaching Experience
I’ve served as a Special Education teacher for a K–2 Special Day Class (SDC) supporting students with mild to moderate disabilities; a site-based substitute teaching 6th-grade math and science; and a paraeducator in a Special Education SDC classroom. I also worked as an Early Literacy Tutor, delivering targeted, data-driven reading interventions for TK–1st–grade students in public school classrooms.

How I Can Help
With my diverse expertise and passion for teaching, I am confident in my ability to help your child improve their reading skills, overcome learning challenges, and achieve academic success. Let's work together to unlock your child's full potential!

If you'd like to learn more or schedule a session, feel free to reach out. I look forward to supporting your child's educational journey.

Many children struggle with schoolwork and face obstacles to learning in their day-to-day life. Right Brain Tutoring offers customized solutions and accessible resources to empower children who think and learn differently. I offer a unique teaching method for these exceptional children, utilizing the Pride Reading Reading Program, one that can bring about a genuine transformation in their education, emotional reactions, and self-esteem.

Customized Learning Plan

Not the traditional one-size-fits-all approach:

  • Lessons specifically tailored to your child's developmental level. 
  • Age-appropriate lessons.
  • A creative and collaborative environment.

My tutoring program uses the Pride Reading Program based on the Orton Gillingham Method.

  • Children labeled "struggling learners" are often children who are naturally "right-brained."
  • We often think of these children as slow or not as intelligent as their peers.
  • Nothing could be farther from the truth!

Right-brained children think more "globally" and often experience

  • Confusion
  • Anxiety
  • Cannot sort out their thoughts, or 
  • Determine what is relevant.  

Traditional teaching methods focus on skills that follow a set sequence.

  • Right-brained kids learn better in context.
  • Right-brained students often "understand" the answer,
  • Yet cannot access or explain the steps they have used.

Right-brained children do not get the individualized attention they need.

Established teaching methods use a left-brained approach that is counter to how right-brained children naturally learn.

Right-Brain Learning

Hemispheric dominance is distinctive in each child. Roger W. Sperry, a psychologist, first introduced the left brain and right brain hypothesis in the 1960s.

Right Brain Functions:

  • Art awareness
  • Creativity
  • Imagination
  • Intuition
  • Insight
  • Holistic thought
  • Music awareness
  • 3-D Forms
  • Left hand control

Left Brain Functions:

  • Analytical thought
  • Logic
  • Language
  • Reasoning
  • Science & math
  • Writing
  • Numbers skills
  • Right hand control

Being aware of what hemisphere of the brain is dominant in your child is central in determining which style of learning he/she requires to be successful.
