The Full Story
About
Hi there, I'm Brittany!
​
I'm a former special education teacher, turned second grade teacher, turned tutor who specializes in elementary literacy and mathematics. I started The Study Station after approximately 14 years in public education, to help struggling learners who need an extra "boost" with their academic skills. I also wanted to give parents a break from wearing all the hats at home because, let's be honest, being a parent and juggling homework is super stressful. I know how valuable time is with your children and it's never fun to argue about homework in the evenings (or ever, ugh!).
I'm here to help you and turn your kids into self-assured, happy learners. While partnering with families and establishing trusting relationships with the students I tutor, I hope to inspire life-long learning and take the pressure off families. I can't wait to meet your learner and watch them grow!

-
I have been trained in Orton-Gillingham, Reading Recovery, Addvantage Math Recovery (AVRM), and Leveled Literacy Intervention

I have a huge passion for social emotional learning and building strong, trusting relationships with families

Our Mission
Promote student success through collaborative learning with families/educators, individualized attention, and a supportive environment. The Study Station focuses on K-5 literacy and mathematics.
On a more personal note...
I currently live in Elko New Market, Minnesota with my husband and two children. We have 3 sweet, but crazy dogs. Our family enjoys traveling to new places (our favorite is Glacier National Park!) and spending time together. I have a Minnesota teaching license in grades K-6 Elementary Education, grades 5-8 Language Arts, and a grades K-12 Master's Degree in Special Education. Thank you for visiting!
