My name is Michael Broadhead and since 2005 I’ve have the privilege of teaching at international and private schools in the UK, Taiwan, China, Singapore and Canada. During that time I primarily taught sciences. I am a BC registered teacher and have now settled in beautiful Victoria and undergone training to tutor dyslexic students using the Orton Gillingham approach. I enjoy working one on one with students of all ages and take care to provide personalized multi-sensory instruction that builds confidence and matches the student’s needs. For more information, you can email me at me@mikebroadhead.com or call me at 778 676 8227.
Specialization
Orton-GillinghamThe Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach is a structured, multisensory method for teaching reading and writing to individuals with dyslexia. It breaks down language into smaller units (sounds and letters), explicitly teaching the connections between them. OG is systematic, sequential, and tailored to each student’s needs, building a strong foundation in literacy through engaging multiple senses (seeing, hearing, touching, moving).
“Michael Broadhead has been a transformative tutor for our son, who has dyslexia and ADHD. He’s kind, patient, and took the time to build a genuine, supportive relationship with our son. Using the Orton-Gillingham approach and personalized lessons, he’s helped our son make incredible progress in reading and gain real confidence. We’re so grateful for the lasting impact Michael has had on his learning journey.” – Mayanna
“It has been a pleasure to observe you and Max working together, and the benefits to Max of having these OG sessions are so great. When I see two people working together so successfully, I always hope that it will be possible to continue this partnership.” – OG Supervising Mentor
