I found Justine after learning about the EBLI approach for dyslexia in a parents group for children with dyslexia. After having given the Barton system a go for several years, we thought the EBLI approach was worth trying. My daughter has loved working with Justine over the past year and has made big improvements toward grade level reading. Justine’s tutoring program is set up very professionally and she’s so accessible and prompt to reply to any questions or concerns. I recommend you reach out to her to see how she might be able to help your struggling reader! – Kaitlyn Blanchard, Utah
My 11-year-old daughter started off the school year struggling with spelling and handwriting. I was unable to find a specialized EBLI tutor in our community and turned to the internet to search for an expert. Thankfully, we found Teacher Justine. Justine was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and clearly laid out the services that she could provide to help my daughter. She tailored sessions to meet my daughter’s needs, pace, and frustration tolerance. Sessions challenged my daughter to help her grow. The wonderful thing about Teacher Justine is that she ends each session with games so that there is something to look forward to after working hard. Justine kept me informed of my daughter’s progress and demonstrated expertise and kindness in every interaction. I highly recommend Teacher Justine. – Melissa Punnoose, Los Angeles, CA
Justine has been effective in helping out daughter gain confidence with her reading, and ensuring that she has the strong phonics foundation that she needs. Justine has made such a difference and we’re grateful for it! Angela Ochoa, Orinda, CA
Justine was a pleasure to work with. My daughter was struggling with pre-reading / letter & sounds recognition and got a lot out of her sessions with Justine. She made learning fun so it didn’t feel like work. Added bonus – she can teach Italian too! – Darci Davis, Moraga, CA
We love online tutoring with Justine because it’s not only very convenient in terms of time-saving – not having to drive, it’s also really fun for our son. Now that most of his learning is in person, online sessions seem special. He sees his parents on zoom calls, and this makes him feel like he has important work meetings too. The live instruction coupled with game/presentation interactive format keeps him focused and interested. – Yulia Goldshtrakh, Orinda, CA
I found Justine by posting something in the Lamorinda Families Facebook Group and we have been really happy with her! She has helped support our daughter with both reading and math as she has progressed through 2nd and now 3rd grade. She is really kind and patient and has spent time trying to hone in on her specific struggles and figure out how to best help her. She has been flexible with scheduling needs whenever needed. Highly recommend her! – Amy LeBold, Orinda, CA
Teacher Justine has been a God sent. I searched on google for a reading teacher and found her. My daughter was having difficulties learning to read and I could see that she felt she was being left behind, while her peers were having an easier time. Teacher Justine has been so patient with my sassy daughter. I see her progressing with each lesson. Can’t recommend Teacher Justine enough. – Maria Guzman, San Mateo, CA

I am absolutely amazed at the way my son has progressed since we started in September. He’s getting more and more confident tackling the unfamiliar words, whereas before he’d just give up. Thank you so much for your patience and building that foundational relationship to engage him. – Joyce Zang, Walnut Creek, CA
I am a homeschooling mom of a 6 year old and I found Justine through our charter school – Visions in Education. My child is struggling with becoming a confident reader and needed support with specific language skills such as blending, spelling, and writing. Justine was able to immediately assess right where he was in his language arts skills and confidently dove right in with a plan of action. My child is improving leaps and bounds in language arts and confidence with every session. Justine is easy going, knowledgeable, kind, fun and in tune with how to balance work and play so that my child enjoys the learning process. When I first met with my Visions Charter School certified teacher, she was amazed by my child’s progress in such a short time! I highly recommend Justine to any parent who is looking to provide their child with language arts support. – Rachel Hankins, Sacramento, CA
I found Teacher Justine from a flyer posted at my local Starbucks. I decided to give Justine a call because my daughter was struggling with reading and despite participation in a reading intervention group at school, showed very little progress. She was lacking confidence, was reading-avoidant and was not reading independently at her grade level. After speaking with Justine on the phone and receiving a complimentary reading assessment of my daughter’s needs, I immediately knew Justine was very knowledgeable and could provide the structured lessons which would compliment the support my daughter was receiving in school. My daughter absolutely loves her lessons with Justine, never complains and always looks forward to her online reading practice. She has gained invaluable phonics skills, has learned to pick up patterns, and corrects herself when she makes mistakes. More importantly she has gained confidence in reading and now enjoys reading to her family and on her own. Thank you, Teacher Justine! – Julianna Bryant, Orinda, CA
Justine has helped my 2nd grader get up to grade level reading in just a few months. Her online lessons are interactive and fun so that he feels that he is at play and not at work. I highly recommend her! – Vanessa Smith, Oakland, CA
Justine was great in assisting my daughter. We were looking for handwriting and spelling help. I called Peterson Handwriting and they told me about EBLI. Then I searched online and found Justine. I would recommend her. – Joanne Salva Cruz, Los Angeles, CA
