About

Kathleen Auld

Girl with Bookshelves

I'm a credentialed K-12 teacher and a private tutor.  I have taken the Lindamood Bell Seeing Stars and Vizualizing and Verbalizing  workshops, and completed training with LearnUp (An Orton-Gillingham based Dyslexia Program).   I have B.A. in Literature from U.C., Berkeley, and a K-12 Multi-Subject Teaching Credential from Dominican University, San Rafael, CA.  I teach literacy with an explicit, systematic phonics approach with books that correlate to the phonics being taught.  I tailor every lesson to each student and use a multisensory approach in teaching.  I am very sensitive to each student's learning style, emotional well-being and level of comfort.  I always go at the student's pace and make sure to build their confidence at every step.  It's so exciting to see my students reach their goals and bloom!  I really love what I do!

Testimonials

I teach literacy!

I teach reading with an explicit systematic phonics approach using engaging books that correspond to concepts students are learning.  We also focus on comprehension, fluency, and sight words. My students learn to compose summaries and stories as well as essays. They also learn spelling rules and patterns, and how to organize and write various types of essays.  Non-fiction and fiction books and articles are read to get students  accustomed to reading all genres and reading for pleasure versus reading for information.

​

From Pre-K to High School

I teach pre-readers, early readers, elementary, middle school students, and all the way up to high school students at all literacy levels.

Say

Kathleen is very dedicated to her profession and consistently gets good results with the elementary students she works with.  It is typical for her to bring up a student 2 grade levels in reading in 80 hours.  She has a wonderful rapport with children and is a delight to work with.  She cares deeply about her students.

Laura Brainard
LearnUp Tutor and Trainer

I would highly recommend Kathleen Auld...I saw more progress made in one year with Kathleen than I saw previously.  The group of us who have her work with our children call her the kid-whisperer because she is simply amazing at getting kids to work hard and learn.
