Providing compassionate, patient, and effective literacy education is my passion, because everyone deserves to:

- Be able to read the menu at a restaurant, the voting ballot, and that latest novel

- Feel confident at work and school without relying on AI and spell-checkers

- Learn new skills, comprehend instructions, and access knowledge

- Express themselves clearly through written and spoken language

The Approach

Multi-sensory ○ Structured ○ Research-backed ○ Individualized ○ Effective for all learners

Reading is the key to a successful and fulfilling life

With a relationship-first mindset, each student's comfort and unique needs are the priority. Alexis' role is to listen first and to collaborate with the student and their family

The student has the hardest job of developing their skills in

literacy and emotional regulation. Alexis is here to be their guide

through that hard work and to be a supportive part of their village.

Everyone deserves to learn.

Alexis prioritizes inclusive interactions that are:

Trauma-informed
Neuro-affirming
Anti-racist and anti-bias
BIPOC- and LGBTQIA-allied
Disability-aware
Feminist
Decolonizing, and
Culturally-humble.

All communications, materials, and information used by Whatcom Literacy Tutor and Alexis Hopkins are created without the use of AI.

This is in an effort to support clean drinking water and secure and comfortable living for all.
