Providing compassionate, patient, and effective literacy education is my passion, because everyone deserves to:
- Be able to read the menu at a restaurant, the voting ballot, and that latest novel
- Feel confident at work and school without relying on AI and spell-checkers
- Learn new skills, comprehend instructions, and access knowledge
- Express themselves clearly through written and spoken language
The Approach
Multi-sensory ○ Structured ○ Research-backed ○ Individualized ○ Effective for all learners
Reading is the key to a successful and fulfilling life
With a relationship-first mindset, each student's comfort and unique needs are the priority.
My role is to listen first and guide the student through the hard work of developing skills in reading, writing, and emotional regulation.
With Alexis, you'll never feel pressured, rushed, or dismissed.

I prioritize inclusive interactions that are:
-
Trauma-informed
-
Neuro-affirming
-
Anti-racist
-
BIPOC- and LGBTQIA-allied
-
Disability-aware
-
Feminist
-
Decolonizing, and
-
Culturally-humble.
