About Kathrine
Hello! My name is Kathy Olenczuk. I have been teaching kids to read for over 30 years. I began my career in 1992 as a Kindergarten teacher, and have since taught Grades K-3, and was awarded Oakland County Teacher of the Year in 2008! I have served as a teacher leader, early literacy coach, and district literacy specialist. But the work that has brought me the most JOY has always been sitting side-by-side with students, coaching them as readers and writers! When I started teaching, I knew I needed more expertise on how to teach reading, so I went back to school and earned my Master's Degree in Reading in 1997. Since then, I have never stopped learning and growing my practice. Recently, I spent two years completing LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling), which opened my eyes to the Science of Reading and the latest research on how children learn to read. This inspired me to pursue certification as a Reading Therapist through the Orton Gillingham Academy (which has involved over 70 hours of coursework and 100 practicum hours with an OG Fellow), which I will complete in January 2026! I am very passionate about literacy and my life's calling is helping children of all ages and skill levels develop strong reading and writing skills. I believe that one-on-one, personalized instruction can be life-changing for children who may be struggling with these skills.

When your child comes to an Orton-Gillingham (OG) lesson, you can expect a session that feels structured, supportive, and encouraging. Each lesson follows a familiar routine, so your child always knows what to expect—and that predictability helps them feel safe and confident as they learn.
I provide individualized reading instruction, based on the Orton-Gillingham method for dyslexic and striving readers in Grades K-5. The first 1-2 sessions will be spent administering a series of assessments to determine a starting point for your child.
Each 60-minute tutoring session is carefully structured to include explicit instruction along with built-in time for practice and spiral review. Just as important, I prioritize building strong connections with students and making learning enjoyable. By weaving in interactive activities and fun learning games, I create a positive, engaging environment where students feel motivated, supported, and excited to grow.
