NEXT CHAPTER TUTORING
Meet your tutor
Welcome! I’m Mrs. Lindsay Brown, an educator with 15 years of professional teaching experience, including 3 years as a dedicated reading intervention teacher for Kindergarten through 8th grade students. As a certified reading specialist, I am passionate about helping students of all ages unlock the power of reading.
My approach is rooted in science-backed instructional techniques and research-based resources, which foster confidence and promote effective learning. With 3 years of tutoring experience, I love working one-on-one or in small groups, creating a supportive environment where students thrive.
Whether your child needs to fill gaps in learning, maintain grade-level skills, or push beyond their current abilities, my tutoring services offer a valuable advantage. Together, we can cultivate a love for reading and build the skills necessary for lifelong success!
The next chapter approach
At Next Chapter Tutoring, I believe every student can become a confident, independent reader with the right tools and support. Reading is more than a skill—it’s a gateway to learning, imagination, and success.
Grounded in the science of reading, my approach is systematic, structured, and multi-sensory. Research shows that reading is not an innate ability but must be explicitly taught. Phonics is the foundation, helping students decode words and build fluency. Beyond phonics, I strengthen comprehension through vocabulary development, fluency practice, and writing exercises that reinforce reading skills.
I also foster a love of reading by creating a supportive environment where students feel confident tackling challenges and engaging with text. By blending research-based instruction with a student-centered approach, I empower learners to develop strong reading skills and a lifelong love of literacy.

Words from happy parents
“Lindsay has been working with our son since the summer of 2024 and we have seen so much growth in his ability to confidently read. She keeps him engaged through word study, reading roll games, and fluency practice (which he loves the most). Her way to motivate his learning is unmatched! I would highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a 1-on-1 tutor!”
-Katie & Kyle Adams, parents of 3rd grade student
“Lindsay has truly been a god send. We have had plenty of experience with tutors in the past. Never have we connected with someone like we have with Lindsay. Within an hour of meeting with my daughter, she was able to pinpoint her areas of improvement and it completely aligned with what we were looking for. She knows her stuff, comes prepared with lesson plans that match curriculum and is extremely passionate about her work. She has a heart of gold, and my daughter absolutely loves their times together. Never once has she not wanted to go to a session. Incredibly responsive and professional, shares in our happiness with wins along the way and drills down on what needs work. I honestly can't say enough! It's a win, win, win!”
-Lama Plyler, parent of 4th grade student
“Our daughter’s progress in reading has been remarkable with Mrs. Brown. She does an amazing job at tailoring her lessons to her specific needs. Our daughter has grown so confident in reading the past year. Seeing the amazing results with my daughter, I knew that I had to sign up our son with Mrs. Brown as soon as we noticed that he was struggling with some kindergarten reading skills. We have already seen the impact that it has had on his academics just after a few months. It has been a great experience and investment for their future of reading. We love working with Mrs. Brown!”
-Kristi & Benjamin Garrett, parents of kindergarten & 2nd grade students
