About Althea
My name is Althea, and I am a Licensed Intervention Specialist (K–12) with over 20 years of experience in education. I specialize in supporting students in reading, literacy, and academic skill development through structured, individualized instruction.
I hold two Master’s degrees in Education (Literacy and Educational Leadership), along with a Master’s Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I also have a Teacher Leader Endorsement (PreK–12) and training in Structured Literacy, the Science of Reading and Writing, Explicit Instruction, and the MySylvan Method.
My experience includes working in elementary intervention settings, serving as a lead teacher in a County Board classroom for students ages 14–22, and providing online intervention and tutoring services through various educational organizations. I also have experience supporting students with diverse learning needs, including those requiring additional behavioral and academic support.
I am the founder of HoupeActs Learning Center LLC (established in 2022). I am committed to continuous learning and to helping students build confidence, close learning gaps, and experience meaningful academic progress.
Outside of teaching, I value family, service, and lifelong learning, which continue to shape my dedication to education.

I am a Licensed Intervention Specialist (Mild/Moderate K–12) with a Teacher Leader Endorsement (PreK–12) and specialized training in structured literacy, the Science of Reading and Writing, and Explicit Instruction. I am also certified in the MySylvan Method.
I support students in developing strong reading, writing, and comprehension skills through explicit, step-by-step instruction tailored to individual learning needs. My teaching approach is structured, supportive, and focused on building confidence, independence, and academic growth.
I have experience working with struggling readers, students receiving intervention services, and learners who need targeted support to close academic gaps. I use research-based strategies, including multisensory techniques and scaffolded instruction, to make learning accessible and effective.
Lessons are delivered online and adapted for elementary through high school students.

Althea has been working with my daughter over the last 8 months. I appreciate her patience, understanding, and commitment to her students. She goes beyond and then a little bit more. An example of this is Althea meeting and speaking with my daughter's teacher to make sure the tutoring she was providing was effective. You will not be disappointed.
I worked with Althea in the 2014-2015 school year. During the course of working with her, she and I developed an extremely professional and cordial relationship that has lasted to this day. She is honest and her integrity is top-notch. She was diligent in educating herself while developing a language arts program for her students. She exemplifies central Ohio's finest educators and also as an administrator. I appreciate her ability to take the minimum standards to help her students excel in both education and personal growth. I provided a few lesson plans that I had used, and she added her personal touch which the students thoroughly enjoyed. The school absolutely appreciated her as a person and respected her as a role model-especially in character development. Her room design was INCREDIBLE!
