Christina Johnson

I am the mother to two boys, ages 10 and 27, and have been a classroom teacher for over 21 years. My passion for teaching reading began when my oldest son was diagnosed with dyslexia and struggled to learn how to read. That journey inspired me to dedicate my career to understanding effective reading instruction and supporting children with dyslexia.

I am certified at the Associate Level through the Academy of Orton-Gillingham, and I’ve spent years helping students gain the skills and confidence they need to succeed. Now, as I teach my youngest son to read, I’m also committed to guiding as many other children as possible so they can experience the joy of reading without the pain of unnecessary struggles.

💙 I would be honored to help your child build confidence and a lifelong love of learning!

Amy Bull

This is my 26th year of teaching. I have worked with kindergarten and first Grade students and am currently an Intervention Specialist. I have Orton-Gillingham training and certification in teaching children with Dyslexia through the Dyslexia Training Institute. My husband and I live in Pleasanton and have three children. My youngest is Dyslexic and she is the reason I started my journey years ago in learning how I could best support her and other children with the same challenges. In my current position I primarily work with students struggling to learn to read, however, with my many years of teaching I also have extensive background in teaching math. I am passionate about supporting children in their learning and am dedicated to helping each child build the confidence they need to become lifelong learners!

Testimonials

Mrs. Johnson has an undeniable passion and gift when it comes to educating youth. Her personal experience of navigating education with a dyslexic son, was instrumental in identifying, relating and executing a plan of instruction with my son. She was able to connect and encourage him while building confidence and life skills in addition to academic growth. She kept me informed every step of the way. She’s kind and sincere and would do anything to help support children become successful. Including talking parents off the ledge when a day with our little’s has been extra stressful! She just “gets” the kids and they get her. My only regret is that we didn’t find her sooner. I truly feel there was no area that needed improving. I’m so thankful she crossed our path. I’m forever grateful for her part in my son's life. She changed his life with the ability to read. And he loved her every step of the way. That’s priceless!
