Betsy Teevans
Cofounder, Head of Curriculum & Intervention
Betsy has dyslexia herself. Her work helping struggling readers is both professional and deeply personal. She understands firsthand the frustration students can feel, and that experience shapes how she approaches instruction and supports learners.
Betsy holds a degree in Elementary and Special Education and began her career teaching in public school resource rooms. She later launched an in-home reading intervention practice using Orton-Gillingham methods, working directly with students and their families.
Unleash Literacy grew directly out of Betsy’s intensive, in-person intervention practice. She cofounded the platform to bring the same structured literacy approach she used with her students into guided digital lessons families can access from home.
