Julie Hefele

Hello, my name is Julie Hefele and I am from Tustin, California. I graduated from LMU with my B.A. in Liberal Studies for Elementary Education and my M.A. in Child and Adolescent Literacy. My husband and I moved to Colorado in 2008. We are very busy with 4 fun-loving children!  It has been such a blessing to be a stay at home mom since my oldest was born in 2009, but am so excited to be working in a Catholic school again.

I am a former Second Grade Catholic school teacher. I have spent time teaching and tutoring students in all grades preschool-8th, including special needs.  I love that each child learns differently and am so thrilled to be working at STM as the K-5 Learning Specialist!

Since each child has their own learning style—visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and/or tactile—it is my passion to discover which modality is best in order to enrich their learning experience. I want to set each child up for success!  I will work closely with parents and teachers to help motivate, support, and ensure that the child becomes a life-long learner.

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please contact me by email. I have experience working with students who have learning difficulties, need homework support--organizational/study/test taking skills, or enrichment. I have been trained in many literacy practices, including the Orton-Gillingham Approach and Lindamood-Bell Instruction. I also specialize in administering reading assessments, identifying reading difficulties, and providing multi-sensory intervention strategies.

I am available:
