I have over 25 years of experience working with students ages Preschool to Adult in public, private, parochial, charter and online schools, as well as homeschooling and DoD centers. I use my training and experience to create individualized lessons for each of my students.
When a learner is struggling, the question is why?
The answer: A foundational skill was never mastered.
W.I.N.'s program identifies those missing pieces and provides explicit, individualized instruction to help rebuild the foundation.
Why Choose W.I.N.?
INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION
No cookie-cutter lessons. Every session is tailored to your child’s specific needs, goals, and learning style.
Whether your child struggles with reading, dyslexia, handwriting, spelling, foundational math skills or organization, each session's instruction builds on strengths while directly addressing missing foundational skills.
Your child gets instruction that truly "fits."
FOUNDATIONAL FOCUS
Sometimes the problem isn't today's assignment. It's a skill that was never fully mastered.
W.I.N. looks beneath the current struggle to identify missing prerequisite skills that may be holding a learner back.
Instruction then targets those foundational gaps so new learning has something solid to build upon.
STRATEGIC INSTRUCTION
W.I.N. explicitly teaches
- organization
- rules
- patterns
- relationships
- strategies
- memory supports
Direct instruction is based on the skill being learned and the needs of the individual student, and in a manner that students understand.
Students don't just practice what's difficult—they learn strategies to become more successful and independent learners.
CONFIDENCE THROUGH MASTERY
Success changes how students see
themselves.
Struggling learners often begin with "I can't." Or perhaps they avoid the tasks altogether.
W.I.N. breaks learning into achievable steps, giving students opportunities to experience genuine success as their skills grow stronger.
With each success, "I can't" begins to become "I can."
MEASURABLE PROGRESS
Progress should be seen—not guessed.
W.I.N. uses assessment and ongoing progress monitoring to determine what is working and where instruction needs to adjust.
Parents and teachers see growth in reading fluency, writing, organization, grades, confidence, and independence.
Some teachers have even asked parents, "What are you doing differently at home?"
One student demonstrated a 98% increase in MCA Reading.
EXPERIENCED EDUCATOR
Your learner works directly with an experienced, licensed educator.
Victoria brings experience across elementary and middle school education, intervention, curriculum creation, and diverse learning environments.
Specialized training in structured literacy and evidence-based instructional approaches allows instruction to draw from multiple methods rather than relying on a single program.
No tutors to rotate through. Your child works directly with Victoria.
Where do we begin?
Every learner comes to W.I.N. with a different story. I begin by learning about your concerns, your child's strengths, and where learning has become difficult.
When needed, educational assessments help identify mastered skills, foundational gaps, and the best place for instruction to begin.
From there, I develop instruction around what your learner needs next.
