Hi there!  I'm so glad you have decided to consider me as your child's reading tutor.  My name is Hayley Smith, and I have been a classroom teacher for 6 wonderful years. I found my home as a 1st-grade teacher specializing in students with severe gaps in reading abilities and skills. At home, I have 4 beautiful children, each of whom I am proud to say read above grade level.  My children range from 5  to 13 years old, so I know firsthand how stressful it can be as a parent to make sure your child is beginning their education with a solid reading foundation.
