David Lane, founder and instructor at Learn with Lane

Master English and Reading with Confidence

Expert, patient instruction for ESL learners and students needing reading remediation. Build fluency and foundational skills in a supportive environment.


Over Two Decades of Educational Excellence

Finding the right educator isn't just about credentials; it’s about connection. With over 20 years of classroom experience, a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership, and TESOL certification, I bring a wealth of professional expertise to every single lesson.

But beyond the degrees, I understand the deep commitment required to tailor an education to a child's specific needs, navigating that exact journey every day while homeschooling my own teenager. I know what it takes to build a curriculum that actually engages a student. Whether we are breaking down complex phonics to overcome reading hurdles or building conversational English fluency, my goal is to create a space where students feel safe, encouraged, and ready to succeed.
