Your Child Can Succeed!Changing Lives and Improving Academic
Performance, One Student at a Time.
Academy Learning Center is in the news! We were honored to be featured on a recent Channel 7 telecast. We find ourselves in an unprecedented time, with respect to the disruption to our education system. Is this the catalyst that will change the way we teach our children in the future; I don’t believe anyone knows the answer to that question, but I do know we can not afford to leave our children behind while us adults figure this out. While our teachers are the unsung heros, our children are our future and we can’t think if anything more important than a strong foundational education and we are here and are doing what we can to make a difference.

Julie Hines is the founder of Academy Learning Center. She received her Bachelor’s in Education with an emphasis in Language Arts and Math. She went on to receive her Master’s in Reading and earned her Reading Specialist certification. After working as a Reading Specialist, Julie chose to further her education and went back to school to receive certification as a Reading Recovery teacher. In addition, she is fully trained in Orton-Gillingham as well as Wilson’s and FAST Reading programs. While Julie has taught pre-kindergarten through 6th grade within the public schools system, she most recently held the position as Reading Specialist at Cranbrook Schools – Brookside.
Julie has extensive experience working with students who thrive with specialized interventions such as Orton-Gillingham based methods. The learning process can be a struggle for many students being taught through conventional whole word reading methods. Fortunately, most students thrive when given a multi-sensory structured language program tailored to improve their
unique areas of deficit. Because the techniques used in every tutoring session follow a multi-sensory approach, games and manipulatives are incorporated into daily lessons, reinforcing previously learned concepts in a fun and engaging way.
When Allie is not with students she enjoys spending time with friends, reading and being outdoors.
