You Are Not Alone in This Journey
Understanding comes from experience, and compassion comes from the heart. Our founder and CEO, Jennifer Lynn Hoffman, knows exactly what it’s like to be in your shoes. When two of her children showed signs of dyslexia, she walked beside them through reading intervention, watching them blossom into the successful adults they are today.
As a certified teacher with 35 years of experience in education, Jennifer recognized that supporting children with dyslexia requires specialized knowledge and unwavering dedication. She has completed 30 hours of Orton-Gillingham Educator Training and 60 hours of Orton-Gillingham training at the associate level. Her journey included extensive training and seminars with renowned dyslexia experts such as Dr. Kellie Sandman-Hurley and Susan Barton. Jennifer saw the need for dyslexia specialists and courageously chose to become one herself. Since then, she has made it her life’s mission to give students the tools they need to become confident, successful readers.
Jennifer understands that helping students overcome dyslexia requires more than additional time in school or small group learning. It needs the specialized touch of one-on-one tutoring delivered by experienced literacy specialists who truly understand the journey. Our reading instructors provide the gentle intensity and thoughtful repetition that allows students to flourish.
Every one of our trained reading instructors brings years of experience, genuine passion, and a minimum of 30 hours of Orton-Gillingham educator training to work with your child. They use the proven Orton-Gillingham teaching approach to guide their students with patience and expertise. Each instructor will work closely with your child, adapting the program to meet their unique needs and learning style. Our teachers are always creating new ways to engage students and help them discover the joy of reading.
We believe wholeheartedly that every child has the ability to read and spell with confidence when given the right tools, the proper support, and the encouragement they deserve. We are more than a tutoring center – we are a family here at Western New York Dyslexia Specialists. We are not just here to teach students; we are here to support you and your entire family throughout this journey. Every step of the way, we will be your advocates, your cheerleaders, and your guides.
We would be honored to welcome you into our family and help your child discover the reader within them.
