Ms. Vidya is a new, part-time tutor for Vertical Skills Academy. As a parent of a child with ADHD and dyslexia, she understands the heartache of watching children struggle. In 2021, her son attended the Every Child Reading summer camp, which proved to be a true game changer for him. The impact of that five-week experience was invaluable. She quickly became involved with the program while also working as a special education paraprofessional in the Cherry Creek School District, where she was trained in and implemented the Orton-Gillingham approach in both classroom and small group settings. Over the past year, she has been working as a private Orton-Gillingham tutor, and she now looks forward to supporting and teaching children at VSA.

Congrats VSA and Amy!
Great match for all of you! 🙌❣️
Great news for everyone!!
’Twas the night before school starts, and all through the halls,
The classrooms were ready, fresh paint on the walls.
Teachers were prepping their lessons with care,
In hopes that their students soon would be there.
Backpacks were hung by the door with pride,
With pencils and notebooks all tucked safe inside.
The night felt electric, a buzz in the air,
Tomorrow brings learning, new memories to share.
We’re shaping the future each student, each day,
Inspiring minds, the VSA way!
We can't wait to greet you and cheer your return,
With lessons to teach and new things to learn.
Here’s to a new school year bright, bold, and true,
We’re shaping the future, & we’re so proud of you!
