After graduating from Louisiana State University in 1976 with a Bachelors degree in Education, Teresa A. Hinote began her career in education teaching high school English.  Upon discovering a significant number of students who were intelligent and invested in their education, but who were not able to successfully pass tests because of their limited reading, Ms. Hinote began her pursuit of education in the remediation of reading, writing and spelling skills for students who have characteristics of dyslexia.  The joy and privilege of helping students realize their full potential through the freedom of successful reading has kept Ms. Hinote teaching since 1976.
