Alexa Imwalle is an online reading tutor that specializes in working with struggling readers in grades K-5 to help them close the reading gap by capitalizing on their strengths and interests while instilling in them a love for reading. For as long as Alexa can remember, she dreamed of becoming an elementary school teacher only to leave the classroom three short years later when she unexpectedly became pregnant with her twin daughters. Although this was a very scary time in Alexa's life, the birth of her twins allowed Alexa to find her true calling- working with struggling readers while being the active mom she always wanted to be. Today Alexa is a mom to three children and uses her experience as a struggling reader turned Masters degree holder to motivate, inspire and show empathy for the students she is fortunate to serve.
