Hi! I’m LaToya S. Smith, a dedicated Reading Interventionist with over 15 years of experience helping students become confident, capable readers. With a Master of Fine Arts in Writing and a deep passion for literacy education, I’ve spent my career developing effective, research-based strategies to support learners from grades 1 through 12.
I specialize in personalized, virtual reading instruction that meets each student exactly where they are. Whether your child needs support with decoding, phonics, fluency, comprehension, or enrichment beyond grade level, I offer engaging, one-on-one lessons designed to build skills and spark a lifelong love of reading.
Throughout my work in public, charter, and virtual school settings, I’ve had the honor of guiding hundreds of students on their reading journeys. I also use innovative tools like AI-powered programs and digital platforms to make learning fun and accessible from anywhere.
When you work with me, you can expect thoughtful instruction, consistent communication, and a caring partnership focused on your child’s success.
Let’s unlock your child’s reading potential—together.
What People Say
Before her sessions with Latoya, my daughter refused to pick up a book! Now, she is begging me to take her to the book store every day.
T. Norelien
My son was not reading on grade level. I was extremely concerned. Once LaToya got involved, and began working with him, he began to feel more confident and started making gains in school.
J. Jackson
I love the virtual model Latoya uses. My child gets specialized reading instruction without us having to leave our home. LaToya is so encouraging and fun!
