Welcome to
the kindroot house
We’re a nurturing space for students who need more than just tutoring — they need thoughtful teaching, clear guidance, and a consistent partner in their growth. Our work is rooted in honesty, fueled by dedication, and shaped by a focus on meaningful, lasting progress.
our story
the kindroot house was created to offer something different: support that’s grounded, consistent, and deeply personal. With 16+ years of teaching and special education experience, we bring clarity and calm to families navigating academic challenges, IEPs, or simply looking to get ahead.
OUR VALUES
- Honesty: We’re transparent with parents, realistic with goals, and clear about what’s working and what’s not.
- Dedication: We plan intentionally, show up prepared, and take every student’s progress personally.
- Growth Focus: We believe in measurable progress and long-term confidence, not just quick wins.

How it works
We’re not just here to help with homework. We’re here to teach.
We assess, we plan, we track — and we adjust when something’s not working. You’ll always know what’s happening, how your child is doing, and where we’re going next.
HAPPY CLIENTS
Testimonials
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Leah. She is thoughtful, patient, and brings a level of dedication to her tutoring that is truly rare. After trying countless tutors over the years, I can say without hesitation that Leah is in an entirely different league. From the moment we started working with her, it was clear we had found someone truly extraordinary.
Leah has a calming, kind demeanor that immediately puts both parents and children at ease. Leah is thoughtful, deeply patient, and incredibly intuitive, bringing a quiet brilliance to every session. She doesn’t just teach—she crafts a personalized program that’s unique to your child, blending academic goals with emotional awareness and confidence-building in a way that feels both intentional and effortless. She takes the time to understand your goals and then creates a clear, personalized path to get there.
Her insight into where your child stands academically—and how to help them move forward—is always spot on. She articulates challenges and growth areas with clarity, warmth, and total professionalism, giving you a real sense of partnership in your child’s learning journey. And the progress we’ve seen is remarkable.
We truly cannot recommend Leah enough. She has transformed the way we approach learning and support at home, and we are so, so grateful. If you are looking for someone exceptional—not just a tutor, but a partner and guide—Leah is it. She’s the tutor we didn’t think we’d ever find.
Kasey B., Parent
"Our 8-year-old son, who is AuDHD and has mild dyslexia, was having a hard time with reading—and it was starting to affect his confidence. Then we found Leah, and everything changed. Over the past year, she has made an incredible difference in his progress and mindset. Her expertise in special education and the Orton-Gillingham approach gave us a solid foundation, but what truly sets her apart is how she tailors every lesson to the individual child. Leah took the time to understand our son—his learning style, his interests, and his unique challenges—and built a personalized approach that helped him thrive. In just over a year, he has gained several reading levels and, just as importantly, he believes in himself as a reader now. We are so grateful for Leah’s skill, dedication, and heart. She has been an essential part of our son's growth, and we can’t recommend her highly enough."
Emily M., Parent
"Leah has had an incredible impact on our 1st grader's reading journey, and we couldn't be more thrilled! Since kindergarten, we've witnessed a beautiful connection grow between them. Leah's bright spirit and engaging methods are truly transformative. She has a remarkable ability to meet our child exactly where he is, whether it's through creative engagement during sessions or by understanding his personality to best motivate his learning. Our son, who once had a strong aversion to reading, now embraces it, overcomes challenges, and is actively developing the skills to become a confident reader. Leah's individual, genuine, and deeply invested approach to teaching truly sets her apart."
