I'm Marianne Sunderland. Author of Dyslexia 101: Truths, Myths, and what Really Works, What is Dyslexia: A Parent's Guide to Teaching Kids About Dyslexia, and No More School: Meeting the Educational Needs of Kids With Dyslexia and Language-Based Learning Difficulties. I am also a certified Orton-Gillingham dyslexia tutor and homeschooling mom to 7 kids with dyslexia.
As a longtime, dedicated homeschooler, I've seen the amazing power of an individualized education on the lives of my own children - 6 of whom are now thriving adults - despite their academic struggles.
I love sharing with other parents the things I've learned. I want you to find the peace, confidence, and success that our family has found. It isn't as difficult as you may think.

What Others Are Saying
Since working with Marianne. I am much more at peace. I am no longer worried and I am less stressed. I have tools to implement and a much more realistic perspective of how to approach teaching a dyslexic child. Marianne's wealth of information and experience have been so helpful. Her calm and reassuring demeanor are helpful to those of us who get really worked up and need to just slow down and take a deep breath. Jenny
Before working with Marianne, I was discouraged and worried that I wasn't accomplishing enough. Most of all it really bothered me that we weren't experiencing the peaceful, relaxed atmosphere I had always envisioned for our family.After working with Marianne, I feel much more peace. It's given me the vision of what a successful homeschool for dyslexics looks like. I have been able to re-prioritize my time and feel confident knowing that I am spending my time and energy on the areas that are the most valuable for the academic progress of my children. Hannah
Before working with Marianne, I was feeling alone and isolated, not sure I was doing anything right, couldn't figure out what resources to use, or how to approach my son's homeschooling. After working with Marianne, I feel more relaxed. I have more understanding and patience for my son's unique learning style and how his brain works differently from mine. I'm more compassionate, and able to listen more deeply to what he needs, rather than what I feel that I need him to learn. Raven
I used to struggle to understand the inner workings of my dyslexic kids. I knew I needed to teach them differently and that there was so much more to it than I could see on the surface. After working with Marianne, I have better understanding of what my son and daughter are going through and I have more tools to walk with them side by side. Rene
I was struggling to understand my kids' learning struggles and how to teach them. After working with Marianne, I have much more confidence. Now I have a broad understanding of some of the things my kids struggle with. After working with Marianne, I have good grasp on the areas they struggle with. Thank you for being clear, concise, practical, and informative. Sarah
Since working with Marianne, I have a huge boost in confidence. Confidence in the value of what I am accomplishing daily with each child. Confidence in what each of my children need at various developmental levels. Confidence in how to recognize each of my children's unique giftings and how to develop the best learning environment outside of textbooks to help each of them blossom into the successful persons they were created to be.

Our mentoring groups will help you:
01
Build your skills to teach differently.
With expert feedback from Marianne and full access to all 16 of her online parent education courses, you will become increasingly skilled in the teaching methods that work with kids who have language-based learning difficulties.
02
Build confidence in your abilities.
As you implement new teaching strategies and see your kids’ successes, your confidence will dramatically increase.
03
Build your kids’ confidence.
From research-based teaching methods, to teaching self-advocacy and growth mindsets, to making learning more engaging and satisfying, your kids will increase their confidence in themselves, in their ability to learn, and in their unique strengths.
04
Remain consistent throughout the school year.
Every meeting will start with a time to share wins of the week followed by troubleshooting areas of struggle. Most homeschool inconsistency stems from feelings of overwhelm. We will address these concerns and come up with solutions to keep you motivated and moving forward.
05
Get connected to other parents of struggling learners.
This has been one of the most gratifying (and surprising) benefits of our online groups. As we get to know one another, we offer meaningful support and ongoing encouragement.
