Our Staff

Meet our full time staff and literacy coaches who are dedicated to helping you get back on track. Our staff tirelessly works to foster welcoming environments for students and families while our coaches create environments for success.

Our coaches, both full and part time, are intensely-trained on the techniques of structured literacy training, and use a systematized approach to each lesson. Just as important, they instill confidence and help remove many obstacles in life and learning that are associated with dyslexia.
