Who We Are: Inspiring Lifelong Learners

Our goal is to inspire children to love learning as deeply as our team does.

At Reading Escapades and Math Explorers, we inspire growth through personalized instruction, engaging games, and creative teaching strategies thoughtfully designed for each individual child. By meeting students where they are, we help them build confidence, curiosity, and a belief in themselves as learners.

If you believe your child’s education plays a vital role in their future success, our educational coaches are here to inspire progress in a supportive and nurturing environment. We focus on helping children reach their fullest potential while making learning meaningful and enjoyable.

This is not a one-size-fits-all program you’ll find at big-name learning centers.
Your child is known, valued, and inspired here

From one-on-one tutoring in most subjects to classes, events, enrichment camps, and our homeschool hub, everything we offer is designed to inspire curiosity, confidence, and lifelong learning.

Christine Allen

Owner/Youth Success Coach

I’m passionate about sparking curiosity and confidence in young minds. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching a child’s eyes light up when a new concept finally clicks. As a certified Level 2 Dyslexic Tutor, I help students thrive in reading, math, and science — embracing both the wonder of literature and the logic of problem-solving.Having guided hundreds of families toward the best educational path — whether homeschooling or traditional school — I also love speaking at events to equip parents with knowledge and confidence. When not teaching, I enjoy reading, snowboarding, hiking, and swimming.

I am so blessed to be able to help Christine and the rest of the coaches get their students to be the best they can be.  I have been working in the education field for twenty-five years and love to see the students grow and develop.  When not at Reading Escapades & Math Explorers, I’m taking care of my two teenage children.

Miss Stacia

Marketing Manager

I fell in love with learning in school and ultimately teaching others about my interests at a young age. My love for education has led me to ascertain a teaching certificate in agriculture and general science to share my love of farming, animals, and PA wildlife with others. I am a proud mother of three young boys and my greatest joy is helping them explore and learn about the world around them. I get the same fulfillment working with a student as they conquer a project, assignment, or a problem and gain further understanding in their education journey. In my free time I am usually outside exploring on the farm with my husband, two sons, and our dog Dodger!

Miss Sarah
Family Liasion Coordinator/Education Coach (Virtual)

I have always known that I wanted to work with children. I spent two years in college studying education, and throughout my entire adulthood I’ve worked with kids in many roles—teacher, tutor, and babysitter. My favorite part of working with a student is that moment when a concept finally clicks. Seeing their confidence grow and the excitement on their face is the best feeling!
I currently homeschool my own children and am thrilled to be back helping students build skills and a love for learning. When I’m not working with students, you can usually find me hiking, kayaking, or exploring the country with my husband, our three kids and two pups. I also love reading/writing, baking/cooking, crafting, and gardening.

Miss Jessica
Educational Coach/Events

I have always loved learning and working with children. I especially love science and math as well as writing. I love teaching and experiencing life through the eyes of my kids and the kids I have babysat and worked with in the past. When they learn something new, especially if it is challenging, the way their eyes light up and the joy radiating from them is magical. I am very easy to work with and I always try to find a way to adapt to how my young charges learn. I find that if you make the topic interesting and hands-on, especially if you can find a way to link it to something they find interesting or enjoy doing, it makes a world of difference. In my free time I love reading, writing, and exploring nature with my husband and 2 children.

Ms Lauryn
Educational Coach

Hi! My name is Miss Lauryn, and I am a Mechatronics Engineering teacher at Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School. I have been teaching for three years and have a passion for helping students grow academically and gain confidence in their abilities.
My goal is to create a patient, encouraging, and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and working through challenges. I especially enjoy helping students experience the moment when a difficult concept finally “clicks.” I believe learning should be meaningful and fun.
My favorite subjects are math and science, and I enjoy using hands-on examples and real-world connections to make concepts easier to understand.
Outside of teaching and tutoring, I enjoy camping, kayaking, cooking, and reading whenever I have a free moment. I also have a dog named Milo, who is definitely my baby!

Ms Diane
Educational Coach

Hello families! I have been a teacher in many capacities for 30+ years and also loved being a stay-at-home mom. I hold a master's degree in English and secondary education. A main goal is to use this experience to help your youngsters tap into their potential and navigate their school days with confidence. I've always enjoyed forming a fun and positive rapport with students and appreciate the privilege of working with your children.

I have been married for 34 years and have a grown son, daughter, and son-in-law. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, relaxing at the beach, reading books and articles, and watching movies and old shows. One of my favorite ways to spend time is with my spunky grandpuppy Rolo!

Miss Shaynie

Hi, I’m Shaynie! I started working here just before Christmas, and I love being part of the team. In the office, I help with a variety of tasks that support our tutors and keep everything running smoothly so students can succeed. I really enjoy being part of a place that helps kids grow in reading and math. Outside of work, I love painting, reading books, and spending time with my sister and family. I also enjoy writing, especially about my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and I like learning new things, like asking my cousin about her job as an EMT. I’m so happy to be part of a team that makes a difference for students every day!
