I am the owner and lead tutor of Juniper Street Tutoring, LLC, specializing in dyslexia and reading intervention. I have a BA in English and ELA teaching endorsement form UW Seattle. I’ve been teaching for 13 years, with the past five focused on working with students with dyslexia while JST continues to support all subjects.
Currently, I am completing my certification in the Wilson Reading System, a proven, multisensory approach to reading intervention that I have already been implementing for five years. I believe that every student’s learning journey is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual strengths and challenges. By building meaningful connections and tailoring instruction to their needs, I help students develop the skills and confidence to thrive academically and beyond.
My approach is structured, logical, and multisensory, but just as important, it’s personalized. No single method works for every student, which is why I focus on understanding how each student thinks and learns. My goal is not just to help students catch up but to equip them with the tools they need to become independent learners.
As JST continues to grow, we remain committed to high-quality, individualized instruction. We are proud to be expanding our reach, including beginning work with a local school district, while maintaining the personal, student-centered approach that sets us apart.

Owner, Lead Tutor
When I am not teaching or working behind the scenes running all JST operations, I am baking, figure skating, spending time with my cats, or out fishing and camping with my husband.

Associate Tutor
Hi! My name is Derek. I grew up in Kirkland, WA. I studied math and English as an undergrad at the University of Chicago. I've worked as a tutor since high school, including three years of full-time tutoring math, science, and standardized tests after college. I recently graduated from the UW School of Law, and I'm planning on continuing to tutor for at least a couple years while I figure out what I want to do with my JD.
I've always loved math, and am passionate about guiding students through their math hangups and phobias so they can develop good problem solving habits. My goal is to get students to think of math like a language instead of a series of abstractions. Every student has different needs, so I'm always teaching with a focus on helping students discover and articulate what works best for them. I have experience working with neurodivergent students, and I'm comfortable working on the full gamut of core subjects with students ranging from elementary school through the start of college.
When I'm not teaching, I like to read, write, play strategy games, and watch soccer and basketball.
Hi, my name is Regine! I specialize in teaching the Wilson Reading System (WRS) and completed my training directly under Morgan and through Wilson. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and have a strong background in behavior analysis and program development. With over a decade of experience in behavioral health, special education, and therapeutic services, I bring a unique perspective to my teaching.
My approach emphasizes fostering independence, social-emotional growth, and skill development. I incorporate evidence-based techniques such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Discrete Trial Training (DTT), and Naturalistic Teaching to support student learning. Additionally, I integrate creativity and holistic strategies to make lessons engaging and meaningful.
Before joining JST, I worked extensively with children and individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. During that time, I collaborated with educators, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and mental health professionals to provide comprehensive support.
I’m passionate about making a lasting impact in the lives of the individuals and families I work with, striving to empower my students with the skills and confidence they need to succeed. Currently, I am transitioning into speech-language pathology, aiming to combine my expertise in behavior analysis with communication sciences to further support individuals with reading, writing, speech, and language challenges.

Associate Tutor
When I’m not working, I enjoy exploring the Pacific Northwest, learning foreign languages, engaging in wellness coaching, and diving into creative pursuits such as piano.

Associate Tutor
When I’m not working, I enjoy orca watching from my paddleboard, exploring the weird and wonderful world of the macabre and paranormal, or adventuring with my kids. A big hockey fan, I bring the same energy and enthusiasm to my work as I do to cheering on the Everett Silvertips, whether at the rink or from home.
My teaching philosophy emphasizes supporting the whole child, fostering a learning environment where students feel seen, empowered, and inspired to take ownership of their education. I prioritize nurturing curiosity and encouraging critical thinking through hands-on, open-ended learning experiences. This approach not only drives academic growth but also cultivates confidence, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong love of learning.
With a strong background as a volunteer elementary art teacher, Girl Scout leader, and PTA Board Member, I have developed expertise in creating inclusive, adaptable lessons tailored to diverse student needs. These experiences solidified my belief in the transformative power of art, creativity, and advocacy in personal development. My transition from a 22-year career as a professional hairstylist and makeup artist to education reflects my commitment to mentorship and student success.
Currently, I serve as an OSPI-certified middle school special education paraeducator and Registered Behavior Technician, where I focus on supporting students' academic, social, and emotional development. I am also pursuing a degree in education with an emphasis on art therapy, aspiring to integrate creativity and therapeutic practices into my teaching. In all my roles, I am dedicated to creating inclusive, supportive environments where students can thrive and achieve their full potential.
What Makes Us Special?
With so many places promising academic success, read about what sets us apart from the standard.
Implementation of the Wilson Reading System for students with severe reading deficits or diagnosed dyslexia
No massive up front tuition or long term commitment.
Every session is individually planned and adjusted to the student's needs.
Flexibility is guaranteed. We will find a schedule that works for you and can adjust as we go.
We get to the root of your child's struggles. We don't teach at a surface level. That way, they can tackle academic challenges in the future by using the tools in the toolbox we have helped them create.
Students with all learning differences are welcome: SLDs such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, cognitive delays, or that are 2E.
We build confidence. Everything we do is to help you see just how smart you already are and can grow to be.
Regular, weekly communication with detailed updates and information on how best to help our student at home between sessions.
If English and Math are plain boring to your child, we will make lessons around their own personal interests. They can write and do math problems related to what they already enjoy. No other tutoring place offers that level of personal care and customization.
Executive function coaching for students that struggle to keep their assignments in order (especially difficult with online schooling). Students won't have mom or dad forever to keep their responsibilities in order. Parents of students with ADHD know this stress.
We teach all ages and all subjects. Seriously! Our youngest students are in kindergarten learning sight words, reading, and receiving math support, and our oldest are in high school taking Algebra II, AP English courses, and getting college essay assistance!
