If you want to help your child build confidence in their reading and writing, you're in the right place!

Hey! I'm Krysta Koppel. With over 13 years of experience, teaching just about everything from kindergarten to grade 9, I am passionate about literacy and communication. I love watching words come alive for students. I have Balanced Literacy training for upper elementary and junior high. Over my time in the classroom, I have developed language arts programs and curriculum for multiple grades and am excited to bring that experience to my resources and tutoring. Recently I left the traditional classroom in order to homeschool my own two children.

I know what it’s like to watch a child struggle, it definitely can feel heartbreaking and hopeless. When I was in the classroom, I watched countless students come through my door with high hopes and aspirations, only to have them deflated when I asked them to pick up a pencil or read something off a page. Once a child reaches age 10 (grade 4), it is assumed that they know how to read and write. While that may be true, they could only have the very basic level needed to feel confident, to be successful.

I firmly believe that in order for students to become strong communicators, strong literacy skills need to continue to be taught and reinforced into the upper elementary and middle school grades. While many schools do a good job of this, there are still students who fall behind in these pivotal years because of large class sizes or lack of support, and you as a parent are left looking for help... And that's where I come in!
