Elementary Writing Tutor

Helping Students Become Confident Readers and Writers I'm Kristi Wolch, M.Ed., founder of Elementary Writing Tutor. I provide one-on-one online reading and writing tutoring for students in grades 4–8, with a special focus on neurodiverse learners, including students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia traits, executive functioning challenges, and reluctant writers. I also support homeschool families who want extra guidance teaching reading and writing at home. Every child learns differently, so every lesson is personalized. Before instruction begins, I assess each student's strengths and areas of need, then create an individualized plan that builds skills step by step. Sessions combine explicit instruction, engaging activities, and plenty of encouragement so students gain both academic skills and confidence. Whether we're strengthening reading comprehension, improving sentence writing, organizing essays, building vocabulary, or mastering grammar, each lesson is designed to support student growth. My background includes more than 10 years as a special education classroom teacher, followed by over a decade of private tutoring. I also hold a master’s degree in special education from the University of Washington. Since 2015, I've worked with students both online and in person, helping children who struggle with reading and writing become more independent learners. I love finding creative ways to make challenging concepts manageable, especially for students who have begun to believe they "just aren't good at writing or reading." Families often tell me that their children not only improve academically but also become more willing to write, participate in reading activities, and tackle assignments independently. My goal is to help students develop the confidence, communication skills, and learning strategies that will serve them for years to come. I believe parents are valuable partners in the learning process, and I work hard to make sure they understand their child's progress and know how to support learning between sessions. My Christian faith is an important part of who I am and guides the way I serve others with kindness, integrity, and compassion. While faith is not the focus of tutoring, I am comfortable teaching with Christian curriculum and publishers when families request them. I always respect each family's preferences and follow their lead regarding faith-based discussions during lessons. If you're looking for a patient, experienced tutor who understands how to meet students where they are and help them grow, I'd love the opportunity to support your child in becoming a more confident, capable reader and writer.

Thrive Online Academy

Thrive Online Academy is a Christian online school designed to provide families with a flexible, personalized, and faith-based education experience that combines the freedom of homeschooling with the support of caring Christian educators. Serving students in kindergarten through 8th grade, Thrive partners with families who desire a Christ-centered learning environment where students can grow academically, spiritually, and personally. Unlike traditional online schools that require every student to follow the same schedule and learning path, Thrive Online Academy believes education should be personalized around each child’s unique needs, learning style, pace, and goals. Students learn from home while receiving the level of teacher support that best fits their family’s needs. Through individualized instruction, flexible scheduling, and meaningful relationships with teachers, Thrive provides students with the structure of a school while maintaining the flexibility many homeschool families value. Thrive offers four personalized learning options: Minimum – $4,000/year Designed for motivated learners who thrive with independence. Students complete coursework at their own pace while families provide daily oversight and support. This option includes curriculum access and academic structure without live teacher support. Students are also able to attend clubs and chapel. Families may pay $3,000 when paying in full or $1,000 quarterly. Guided – $6,000/year Designed for students who enjoy independent learning but benefit from additional accountability and guidance. Students receive 2 hours of live teacher support each week to track progress, answer questions, and provide encouragement.

This package also includes chapel and two student clubs, allowing students to receive strong academic support while developing friendships and community. Families may pay $7,500 when paying in full or $2,500 quarterly. At Thrive Online Academy, students experience more than academics—they become part of a supportive Christian community. We understand that one concern many online and homeschool families have is ensuring students have opportunities to connect with other children. That is why Thrive provides virtual chapel experiences and student clubs where learners can build friendships, discover shared interests, and develop meaningful connections with classmates. Through chapel, students gather together to worship, learn biblical truths, and grow in their faith. Through clubs, students participate in engaging activities such as Bible study, creative writing, book clubs, art, music, and other enrichment opportunities. These experiences help students develop collaboration skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging while learning from home. Thrive Online Academy combines Christian curriculum, personalized teacher support, flexible scheduling, and community-building opportunities to create a unique online school experience. Students benefit from the freedom of homeschool-style learning while still having access to teachers, classmates, chapel, clubs, and a structured academic environment. Thrive Online Academy is also an approved Education Savings Account (ESA) provider, allowing eligible families in participating states to use ESA and scholarship funds toward tuition costs. Thrive works to make high-quality Christian education more accessible by helping families utilize available educational funding opportunities. Our mission is to connect faith and learning through Christ-centered teaching, personalized support, and strong family partnerships. We believe every student has been uniquely created by God with purpose and potential, and we are committed to helping each student thrive academically, spiritually, and personally.
