Ashley Sawyer
Academic Director
Ashley Sawyer is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles and has been a resident of Los Angeles, California for most of her life. Ashley's passion for education began in adolescence, and she has taught in various contexts since high school. In her early twenties, Ashley began working with individual students to provide support for learning differences and socio-emotional challenges.
As she started building curriculum and delving deeper into academia, Ashley sought to engage her students with more constructive studying techniques. She also values trust, and it’s ability to help hone skills outside the school environment. By taking a holistic approach, Ashley also began developing effective partnerships with teachers and administrators to foster more meaningful change in her students’ lives.
Driven by her positive experiences with students and schools over a ten year period, Ashley created Stone X Stone in 2015 as a way to serve more students and families. As in the beginning, the same goal remains: to infuse one-to-one teaching with more conscientiousness, discipline, and heart.
