✏️ When writing is hard, kids often start to feel like they’re “bad” at it.

But the truth is—they just haven’t been taught in a way that clicks for them yet.

Our Summer Writing Enrichment Program is designed to change that. With small groups, multisensory methods, and support from trained dyslexia interventionists, your child can build skills and confidence in a safe, encouraging space.

Hi! My name is Jenny Johnston and I'm a tutor here at TPE. I have a BBA from the University of Iowa and intially began my career in business. However, when my children began school, I developed a passion for teaching. Thus, I ventured into the education field and spent about 8 years as an Associate Substitute Teacher in the Waukee School District, working with students age kindergarten through 12th grade. After that, I spent another 5 years as a 6th Grade Study Hall Teacher, while also working part-time as a tutor at TPE, and then solely at TPE. I really love to help students learn! It's so rewarding to help students understand new concepts and watch their amazing progress! In my free time, I like to go running, hiking and bicycling with my husband. I also enjoy spending time with our three children, who are now all grown and leading exciting lives!

Greetings! My name is Jen and I'm happy to have recently joined the family of collaborators at TPE, after 25 years of being a solo therapist. Throughout my career, I have worked with every age group and have enjoyed the challenges that come with a wide array of speech language disorders across different environments. Now that my own five children are mostly independent (all are teenagers and young adults), it was time to find my own niche in the world and that's when Dawn found me! I am so grateful she did, because I have found learning the Wilson method curriculum and working with the clients we have at TPE to be fulfilling beyond what I could have envisioned. It's rare that I've stumbled across a group of genuinely passionate individuals with a collective dream to help everyone we can reach who struggle with communication of any kind, be it verbal, written, or any other modality. It is such a pleasure to work for and with Dawn and the entire staff at True Potential.

Hi there, My name is Jenny, but most of you may know me as Jenny May. Fun fact, 'May' is actually my last name, not my middle name! I received my Bachelors degree at St. Cloud State University in Communication Science and Disorders with a minor in Gerontology. After graduating, we have moved many places, but first started my journey with TPE in 2017 when we first moved to Des Moines. Since then, my family and I have bounced from house to house starting in Iowa, then to Minnesota, and now Illinois, with likely a few more states to add in the future. I have a wild, adventurous, and loud little 3 year old, Nixon, who never fails to push the danger limits! When we have time, we love playing disc golf as a family, going hiking, mountain biking, traveling, fishing, cheering on the MN Vikings, and spending time with our families. We have a bit of a wild house here, we have 3 cats, Scout, Indie (or Grumpy as Nixon has named him), and old man Clyde, plus our frisbee dog Nova! We hope these next few years bring us more travels and being able to bring little man along for the ride!
