Hi, I'm Diane Lloyd, a structured literacy Educator who helps children

become confident, capable readers and writers.  I’m an Early Childhood

Educator with a background in supporting young learners, including

experience delivering the Kindergarten Program through

the Simcoe County District School Board. For the past

six years, I’ve operated Collingwood Tutor, helping students

strengthen their reading, writing, and overall confidence.

​

My teaching style is patient, flexible, and responsive to each child's unique needs. Some of my students need targeted, in-depth literacy intervention, while others benefit from occasional clarification, structured homework support, or just a consistent, encouraging presence to guide their learning.

​

My interest in literacy began with my own son, who struggled with reading and writing throughout Grades 1 to 4 before being diagnosed with dyslexia. That journey led me to discover the Structured Literacy approach, and I completed specialized training with Martha Kovack, Early Learning Specialist and founder of Sound Readers.

I believe every child deserves the chance to become a confident reader and writer—and I’m here to support that path with empathy, experience, and care.
