5. Teaching Literacy Online with Katharine Hsu of All the Write Colors

When teachers end up leaving the classroom, it’s usually for a multitude of reasons and personal to each individual. But an overall similarity is that teachers didn’t feel like they were best serving students within the educational school system. That’s exactly how my guest on the podcast felt, which was the catapult to starting her own business, All the Write Colors. In today's episode, I have a very open and honest dialogue with Katharine Hsu, who shares how she went from working in the classroom to helping students with their literacy through online teaching. Katharine Hsu is the founder, teacher, and CEO of All the Write Colors where she believes there are many kids not thriving or excited about reading and writing because we are not teaching into their strengths and interests. In order to combat this idea, Katharine personalizes reading and writing classes that teach to the strengths of each child, while incorporating art and creative writing into lessons. Throughout our conversation, Katharine shared the struggles she felt working in the school system and how that impacted the start of her business and how she views kids’ struggles with literacy. She now prioritizes a students’ strengths and their self-worth to build confidence and develop their literacy skills. Reaching all students with various geographical and academic needs, Katharine has created programs for online teaching and in-person meetings. If you’re ready for your child to be seen as an individual, Katharine’s literacy program will help them grow and develop their unique skill set as an academic learner. For all links and resources mentioned in this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.educatorforever.com/episode5Watch our free on-demand workshop to learn more about flexible work opportunities beyond the classroom: https://www.educatorforever.com/workshopTake our free quiz to discover your next career step: https://www.educatorforever.com/quizFollow us on Instagram @educatorforever.
