We provide one-on-one online personalized tutoring with the best programs for dyslexia and more, including Wilson Reading, Orton-Gillingham, Take Flight, Lindamood–Bell, Project Read, and many more.
Make Learning Fun: We use online games and activities designed to reinforce the concepts and strategies they are taught in 1:1 specialized lessons.
Boost Self-Esteem and Confidence: As your child learns to master challenging subjects, they will also develop confidence in their abilities and themselves.
Empowering Students for Lifelong Learning: We help students take the strategies that they learn in a 1:1 environment to using and applying them on a daily basis.
Join us at My Happy Teacher, where we are committed to helping your child overcome reading challenges and unlock their full potential with research-based dyslexia tutoring.
We do more than tutor kids with learning disabilities.
We partner with parents and team up with teachers to ensure every child receives the support they need.
Navigating the IEP process and fighting the bureaucracy of the special education system is hard. We’ll help you understand your child's evaluations, know your rights, and even attend your IEP meetings to help you advocate for your child’s needs.
Let us “speak school” for you so you can put your “mama bear” back into hibernation and return to being a parent.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Ashley A.
"Since starting with Melissa in May, my daughter has improved by 7 sub-steps in the Wilson program! The repetition of lessons has helped decoding rules become automatic, and she now has strategies to sound out words. Her fluency has grown, and she’s much more confident. She is willing to read to her grandparents and even raise her hand in class.
Melissa makes tutoring fun with games that keep my daughter engaged and motivated. It’s also wonderful having a sounding board to talk through modifications and accommodations.
While my daughter still feels some frustration about her learning differences, she now truly believes she can do it. She knows with perseverance and hard work she will become an amazing reader. The work ethic she’s developing at such a young age will last a lifetime. We are so grateful for Melissa’s support!”

"My daughter was receiving some services at school, but she wasn’t making meaningful progress. After just a few months of working with Ms. Krook using the OG approach, her reading skills significantly improved. Ms. Krook quickly found the best way to reach my daughter—rotating different tasks so lessons are never boring, mixing in fun word games that make her laugh while building vocabulary, and using quick reading checks that let her see her progress. My daughter now feels proud and happy with what she can do! Ms. Krook is patient, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She has become not only my daughter’s tutor but also her friend, and I am so grateful for all of her support and help."

"My Happy Teacher and specifically our sons tutor, Ms. Lisa have been amazing. She has developed a great relationship, even virtually which can be hard. Our son has been working with her for almost two years. In that time, he’s come up two reading grade levels in school. We’ve seen such an improvement in his confidence in reading, his decoding skills, speed, and spelling."
