Hi there, I’m Ms. Ashley

Reading Coach, Learning Guide, and trusted translator for even the slowest of learners (yes, even snails)

  • Master of Education in Reading
  • Over 18 years of teaching and coaching experience
  • Certified Reading Specialist & Executive Functioning Coach
  • Creator of resources that support both kids and the adults who raise them

  • Creativity

    Growing up, I was captivated by the world of colors, shapes, and art all around. This early love for creativity allowed me to develop an appreciation for individual expression.

  • Nature

    I spent most of my childhood summers away from NOLA in nature, exploring the rivers and streams of the Missouri Ozarks. This connection to the natural world later influenced my approach to teaching, as I recognized the importance of incorporating nature into learning experiences.

  • Teaching Reading

    I discovered a passion for reading instruction when I began studying the powerful impact of literacy and the joy it brings to individuals. I now create unique and engaging learning sessions, allowing students to grow and thrive in their understanding of the world around them.

I help children build the skills they need to thrive—

not just in reading, but in learning, focusing, and growing into their most confident selves.

With a Master’s degree in Reading and nearly two decades of experience in education, I’ve worked with learners of all ages and abilities. But my heart has always been with the early readers—the kids who need a little extra time, patience, and encouragement to find their voice on the page.

Whether your child is struggling to decode words, manage focus during homework, or just build the confidence to try, I meet them where they are. Every session is personalized, paced with care, and built around trust and connection.

I believe reading should feel like discovery, not pressure.

That’s where characters like 🐌 Mr. Snail the Mailman 🐌 come in. He’s our cheerful mascot and gentle reminder that learning doesn’t have to be rushed to be powerful. (Plus, he delivers tips, encouragement, and the occasional reading adventure—snail mail style.)

Together, we create a safe space for your child to learn, grow, and move at their own pace—whether it’s a sprint or a scenic trail .
