Faith-based, 1-on-1 early childhood tutoring for ages 3–8 serving Chapel Hill families, just a short drive north to our Arrington studio. In-home and online sessions available too.
Three age-tier programs for children ages 3 to 8, built around exactly where your child is — not a generic classroom pace.
Play-based sessions that build letter recognition, phonics foundations, fine motor skills, pre-writing, and number sense — the building blocks for everything that follows.
Learn more →Academic and social-emotional preparation for the kindergarten transition — letters, sounds, numbers, attention, and the confidence to walk in on day one ready to learn.
Learn more →Reading comprehension, phonics fluency, writing structure, and math reasoning for 1st and 2nd graders — closing gaps before they define a child's academic story.
Learn more →I'm Leslie Dykstra, a certified early childhood specialist with 10+ years working with young learners. Chapel Hill sits just south of the Williamson County line, near Henry Horton State Park, and while it's technically outside the county I'm based in, it's an easy trip up Highway 431 to our Arrington studio — and I'm glad to make it in the other direction for in-home visits too.
A lot of the families I've met from Chapel Hill and the surrounding countryside value the same things I do: faith, family, and a slower pace where kids get to be kids. Tutoring doesn't have to feel like an extension of a stressful school day — it can be one-on-one time where a child gets to be fully seen and fully known.
Whether your child is just learning their letters or working to close a reading gap before it grows, we start with an honest look at where they are today and build a plan from there — one session, one milestone at a time.
Meet Leslie →Not at all. Chapel Hill sits just south of the Williamson County line, a short drive up Highway 431 from our Arrington studio, and I'm happy to travel to you for in-home sessions as well. Online sessions are also available.
Yes. A number of families I tutor near Chapel Hill and Henry Horton State Park homeschool, and one-on-one tutoring pairs naturally with a homeschool schedule since sessions move at your child's pace, not a classroom's.
