Is Your Child Struggling in School?

✓ Educational assessment to discover how your child learns best

✓ evidence-based interventions to maximize your child’s potential

Diagnostic Services

I understand from personal experience how hard it is to see your child lose self-confidence when they have difficulty succeeding in school. There can be many possibilities why a child does not retain the information being taught. My goal is to help parents understand more about how their child learns and develop strategies to help them reach their potential.

A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation paired with proven strategies and evidence-based interventions may be the best first step toward your child’s success. If an evaluation has already been provided from another source, I am happy to help parents navigate the information provided.

Tutoring Services

I have over 15 years experience educating students with learning disabilities, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, and dyscalculia. Using evidence-based strategies for instruction makes a significant difference in the child’s information retention. Analyzing where the learning process is breaking down and providing solutions leads to increased student confidence and improved academic outcomes. I offer the following:

  • Dyslexia therapy
  • Math tutoring
  • Handwriting instruction
  • Reading and spelling instruction

About Me

Julie Roberts, M.Ed., CALP

Educational Diagnostician and Certified Academic Language Practitioner

My Background

My career as a teacher began when my first child was born. She was smart, creative, and confident when she entered kindergarten, and it didn’t make sense that she could not learn to read. Her confidence plummeted and she would ask why she wasn’t as smart as her friends. I would pray in the pick-up line at school that she would not be in tears and that she would have found some sense of accomplishment that day. Soon, her sister began to struggle as well. We found that the girls were dyslexic and that began my path to find out how to help them overcome their learning differences.

I volunteered for five years in the Learning Enrichment Center at All Saints Episcopal School before going back to UT Tyler to get my teaching certificate. I was trained at The Shelton School in Dallas to become a Certified Academic Language Practitioner. Afterward, I helped to start Bridgemark Center for Learning, a school in Tyler that teaches with explicit, systematic, and multisensory programs to help students with learning differences reach their potential. I served as Bridgemark’s Upper and Middle School Director and sixth grade teacher.

In 2020, I moved to Longview and became the Director of Student Learning and
Instructional Support at the Trinity School of Texas. I attended UT Tyler to receive
my masters in special education with an educational diagnostician certificate. My mission is to help students discover their strengths, improve their skills, teach them how they learn, build their confidence, and empower them to reach their goals. My oldest daughter has completed graduate school and is a
licensed professional counselor and her sister is currently in
graduate school and applying to doctoral programs. With the right intervention,
students can experience confidence and success!

What Parents Are Saying

“Helped My Daughter Succeed”

Julie Roberts has been working with my 7th grade daughter for three years. She helped her to understand why school was so difficult and then helped her succeed. Julie is extremely talented in working with kids! If you are searching for answers, give her a call!

“Improved Self-Esteem”

My daughter lost all confidence in learning math. Mrs. Roberts helped her gain an effective understanding of her lessons and her self-esteem improved!

— Tamra Cox

“Highly recommend”

My 5th grade son was nervous about tutoring but found Mrs. Roberts to be nice, easy to talk to, and caring. Mrs. Roberts assessed him and individualized his instruction. Not only did we see an improvement in reading, but his self-confidence increased. She pushed him academically and in character. She was a blessing to our son when he needed her most.
