Founder of Miss Jess Literacy
Hi, I’m Jess, founder of Miss Jess Literacy, educator, and literacy specialist. I have a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master’s Degree in Reading Education, and I’ve spent the past 10+ years helping children become confident readers!
What started as a passion for literacy has grown into a literacy company that supports families with play-based, personalized learning, backed by research. While I now lead a small team of amazing, experienced educators, I’m deeply involved in every part of the process, from designing resources and creating courses, to matching families with the perfect tutor!
Everything we do at Miss Jess Literacy is built around creating real connections, growing a love for reading, and using evidence-based strategies that really work.
We believe every child deserves to feel successful with reading and we’d love to be part of your child’s journey!

Miss Katie
Literacy Tutor
Hi! My name is Katie, and I’m so excited to be part of the Miss Jess Literacy Team!
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in Teaching English as a Second Language from the University of Maine. After graduating, I taught English abroad before returning home to Maine, where I now live with my husband and daughter. As a K–8 certified educator with nearly ten years of classroom experience, I’ve discovered a passion for helping young learners develop strong reading and writing skills. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a child gain confidence as they grow into a proud reader! Outside of teaching, you can find me spending time with my family, exploring local coffee shops, or getting lost in a good book.
I can’t wait to support your child's learning journey and help them blossom into a confident reader.

We love to explore local parks, playgrounds, coffee shops, and our public library. I am thrilled to combine my love of teaching and learning through play with an evidence-based, multisensory approach to literacy instruction.

FAQ
-
Tutoring is the right fit for your child if they’re:
behind in grade level
needing one on one support
missing early literacy skills (letters, letter sounds, phonological awareness. etc)
struggling with reading
not doing well on academic assessments
needing homeschool instructional support
struggling to learn how to read
becoming frustrated with reading
-
If your child is struggling with reading, it’s important not to take a “wait and see” approach, hoping they will just outgrow the difficulty. The truth is, children don’t naturally grow into strong readers because their brains aren’t wired to learn how to read on their own. Struggles in reading often indicate gaps in foundational skills, and without the right help, those gaps can grow.
Statistics show one in three children entering kindergarten lack the basic skills they need to learn to read!
About 66% of U.S. fourth graders do not read at grade level.
Early intervention is crucial to ensure your child gets the support they need to build strong reading skills and succeed in the future.
