about our East Nashville Location

Bringing Redwood Home to East Nashville

Opening Redwood’s East Nashville learning center is deeply personal for co-founders Kait and Andre Feriante, who live in the community with their family. After helping more than 3,500 students nationwide—with 91% demonstrating measurable progress—and earning recognition through partnerships with Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University, they are bringing Redwood’s trusted approach home. Through specialized assessments, one-on-one tutoring, and small-group instruction, local K–12 students can strengthen their reading and writing skills, see what they are capable of, and rebuild the confidence that carries into the classroom and beyond.

Founding Offers

To celebrate our East Nashville opening, Redwood is offering exclusive introductory opportunities for the first families to enroll. Founding families can access special launch pricing and priority scheduling while securing consistent, specialized support for the upcoming school year. Availability is limited.

Our difference

Why Redwood

Since 2018, Redwood has served more than 3,500 students, with 91% demonstrating measurable academic growth. As a Johns Hopkins University research partner and recipient of the Stanford Tutoring Program Design Badge for 2025–2028, Redwood combines proven program design with evidence-based, structured literacy instruction. Our specialists use respected approaches including Wilson Reading System®, SPELL-Links™, EBLI, UFLI, and multisensory math. Every client is treated like a VIP, with one clear goal: bring hope to parents and build lasting confidence in children.

OUR Difference

Expert Literacy Specialists

Redwood instructors aren’t general tutors. Every specialist is a licensed educator with advanced training in structured literacy and intervention, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and related learning differences. They know how to identify what’s causing a student to struggle and how to address it with precision.Our instructors are trained to work from data, adjust instruction intentionally, and communicate clearly with families. That means lessons evolve as skills improve, progress is measurable, and parents are never left guessing. Whether working one on one or in small groups, Redwood instructors bring consistency, expertise, and fun to all online service offerings.

Helping TN Students Thrive

Tennessee Education Savings Account (ESA)

Redwood is an approved provider for the Tennessee Education Savings Account (ESA) Program, allowing eligible families to use ESA funds for online dyslexia assessments and tutoring. Students receive individualized instruction grounded in Orton-Gillingham, UFLI, and structured literacy, delivered by licensed literacy specialists. If your family participates in Tennessee’s ESA program, Redwood makes it simple to use your benefits for high-quality reading intervention through approved payment platforms, including ClassWallet, where applicable.

Meet Our Nashville Based Founders

Kait Feriante
Co-Founder · Learning Behavior Specialist · Certified Wilson Reading System® Specialist

“I’m Kait. I co-founded Redwood with Andre in Chicago in 2018 after teaching together in Chicago’s public and charter school systems, because we couldn’t find the right programs for kids who were smart but couldn’t read. We’ve worked with thousands of families since then. Andre and I moved to East Nashville in 2022 with our family, and this summer, we finally get to bring Redwood in-person to our new home community. If your child has been told they’re behind, I want to meet them.

Andre Feriante
Co-Founder ·English Teacher· Certified Wilson Reading System® Specialist

“I’m Andre. Around Nashville, some people know me as Sonny Luca. As a proud dyslexic myself, I understand firsthand what it feels like to struggle with reading and writing. What I’ve learned, both personally and professionally, is that with the right instruction, the right tools, and the right support, those doors can open. That belief is at the center of my work. I focus on combining empathy with research-based practices so students not only make progress, but also begin to see what is actually possible for their lives. Kait and I built Redwood together with that in mind.”
