Meet Julie: The Heart Behind Edmond Learning Academy

Personalized Tutoring in Edmond, OK

A mom, teacher, and guide helping families navigate ADHD, IEPs, dyslexia, and learning differences - turning uncertainty into a clear, confident path forward.

Been there. Done that. Still walking with families through it.

IEPs.
ADHD.
Autism.
Dyslexia.
Processing disorders.
Learning differences.
Neurodivergent learners- and the families who love them.

I know this life.

I’ve faced these challenges first as a special education teacher, then as a business owner, and most importantly, as a mom. I know the tears, the unknowns, the family stress, and the overwhelming feeling of trying to navigate an educational system that cannot always provide everything your child needs.

That tension became fuel.

It fueled my desire to help my own child—and every family like mine—feel seen, heard, understood, and professionally supported.

Over a decade later, ELA has grown not only in size, but in our ability to serve our community with wisdom, warmth, and intention. I’ve built a team of incredible teachers and staff who understand that this work is about more than academics.

We help raise confidence.
We support families.
We restore hope through learning.

And for all of us, this work is personal.

We’re rooting for you!
