Angela Marie D’Antonio
Keynote Speaker | Online Barton Dyslexia Tutor & Academic Coach
Here’s the deal:
1. Dyslexia affects up to 20% of the population.
2. Many dyslexics struggle with study skills, impacting their academic performance.
3. Personalized support can make a significant difference in a student's life.
This is where I come in. As an experienced educator and academic coach, I'm here to help students overcome their learning challenges and achieve their full potential.
My Journey with Dyslexia
A personal discovery sparked my mission. As both a homeschooling parent and education professional, everything changed when we learned my daughter had dyslexia in seventh grade. Despite her strong verbal skills and excellent comprehension, she struggled with reading fluency and spelling.
Finding the Right Solution
After trying several reading programs without success, we discovered the Barton Reading and Spelling program, recommended by dyslexia experts Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide. This program transformed my daughter's learning experience, and her progress inspired me to help others in our community.
From Personal Experience to Professional Mission
Inspired by my daughter's advocacy for dyslexia awareness, I began offering Barton tutoring. The results were remarkable - students showed significant reading improvements within just six weeks. Their success stories fueled my passion to help more learners.
Expanding My Impact
Today, my work has grown beyond Barton tutoring:
Certified Academic Coach through the Anti-Boring Learning Lab
Speaker on dyslexia awareness and advocacy
Expert on using AI, technology, and tools for neurodiverse learners
International presenter alongside my teenage daughter at conferences, professional development meetings, and businesses
My Approach
I champion a strengths-based philosophy in education, showing how technology can empower neurodiverse students to reach their full potential. This business combines my love of teaching with the joy of watching students transform - especially when formerly reluctant readers discover the pleasure of reading.
Because every student can succeed with the right support.
