Our Story

  • Kari Smith

    Kari Smith launched The Study Hub in 2016 with a bold mission: to break free from the limits of the traditional classroom and give students the personalized support they truly deserve. With over 19 years of experience as a special education teacher, Kari knew firsthand how powerful one-on-one attention could be—and she set out to create a place where learning feels encouraging, effective, and even fun. Kari is also passionate about empowering other educators to follow their own calling, build meaningful student connections, and create learning spaces that make a real difference.

She holds two master’s degrees and a PhD in Instructional Leadership and Curriculum. A specialist in dyslexia, Dr. Bayless trains instructors in evidence-based reading strategies and oversees diagnostic evaluations for families seeking answers and support. Her leadership strengthens our commitment to providing research-driven instruction for struggling readers.
