Christopher Padesky

I provide individualized literacy tutoring grounded in evidence-based instruction. Based in Hawai‘i, I work with students virtually across locations. I bring over 10 years of experience in elementary education, including roles as a classroom teacher, K–6 librarian, and literacy tutor. I have also coached tutors in a literacy center and currently teach preservice and practicing teachers how to deliver effective literacy instruction. While I support a range of learners, I specialize in working with neurodivergent students and tailoring instruction to meet diverse learning profiles. Process 1.
