TAMMY SPENCER

Founder & CEO

With over 27 years of experience in the Houston Independent School District (HISD), Tammy Spencer saw the significant gaps in support for students with dyslexia. Known as the “dyslexia lady,” she recognized the urgent need for timely diagnoses and effective educational foundations for these students.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Tammy took a leap of faith by opening her home to tutor a student with dyslexia. The success of this personalized, hands-on approach inspired her to establish the Dyslexia School of Houston. Since then, the school has supported over 160 students and counting through after-school programs and Summer Literacy Camps.

Her dedication to providing “the first good instruction” continues to transform lives through literacy.
