Provider Bio

Melanie Brethour is a full-time resource teacher from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She is a passionate advocate for dyslexia awareness and the science of reading.

Motivated by her son's journey, Melanie embarked on extensive research and pursued various training opportunities. She achieved associate-level certification in Orton Gillingham, became a CERI structured literacy classroom teacher, and was honoured as the Nessy Dyslexia Aware teacher of the year in 2023.
