About Me

Hi, I’m Stephanie Dempsey! I’m so glad you’re here. Teaching and helping children grow has always been one of my greatest passions. With over 11 years of experience in education, I love working with students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade to build strong foundations in reading, phonics, writing, comprehension, and math.

As an approved Step Up for Students provider, I’m dedicated to using research-based teaching practices that truly make a difference. I believe learning should be fun, hands-on, and tailored to each child’s unique strengths and needs. My goal is to help every student gain confidence, enjoy learning, and feel proud of their progress — whether that’s sounding out new words, solving a tricky math problem, or discovering the joy of reading.

A little more about me — I grew up in Kansas, where my love for teaching began early. I’m also a proud Kansas City Chiefs fan, so football season is always an exciting time in our house! I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, Ryan, for almost six years, and together we enjoy spending time in the mountains, trying out new restaurants, or watching football!

When I’m not teaching, you’ll often find me curled up with a good book or listening to music — two things that always inspire creativity and calm. I bring that same sense of curiosity and joy into my lessons, because I truly believe that learning should be something children look forward to.

I’m so excited to partner with families and help students grow both academically and personally. Together, we can make learning a positive, confidence-building experience your child will carry with them for years to come!
