Visual Methods for Visual Learners
"The Davis program and Emily Nielson with Utah Learning Solutions was an answer to our prayers! We live in Idaho and found Emily and the Davis program so valuable we traveled to Utah and spent an entire week working and learning with Emily. My son has struggled with reading and this program has helped him so much. He and I both learned tools that will help him throughout his life. Emily is warm, welcoming and very good at what she does. I would highly recommend her!"

Meet Your Facilitator
Emily Nielson has been a licensed Davis® facilitator since 2020. She has been a huge fan of the Davis® programs for much longer when she first discovered them in search of something to help her own son learn to read in 2009. She researched several different programs, both public and private, before finally finding the Davis® methods. After reading Ron Davis’s book, The Gift of Dyslexia, she realized that his was the only program that described the many paradoxical symptoms her son displayed. After doing the dyslexia correction program, her son went from a non-reader, to a capable reader, to someone who read JRR Tolkien and other classics for fun! Emily saw the incredible effects of the program and ultimately decided to pursue Davis® professionally. She is also certified in Davis® Learning Strategies.

Emily grew up in a small town in northern Utah, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Massachusetts, and has seven children. Emily has always made teaching a part of her life, which started when she partnered with a charter school to educate her own children. After four years at the school, she took over her children’s education and taught them from home for another five years. In addition, she has had over twenty years of teaching experience between organizing and facilitating parenting classes, teaching church classes, leading youth and scout groups, and coaching community sports.

Emily loves people, and helping others learn to transform into the best version of themselves has been one of the best experiences of her life. She loves offering the Davis® programs to those who struggle with reading, writing, dyscalculia, and/or ADHD. She finds each client to be uniquely gifted and is always inspired by the intelligence, resilience, and persistence found in each one. For Emily, the client’s needs come first. She tailors her programs to each individual and works at the client’s pace. She enjoys working with all ages, but especially loves working with teenagers. Emily understands what it’s like to love a child who’s struggling to learn, and is thrilled to offer these programs as a viable life changing educational opportunity.
