Mrs. Branicki

Hope Branicki serves as a reading teacher at GRACEPOINT School, bringing 17 years of experience as an Orton-Gillingham tutor and reading learning specialist. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in History and English from St. Andrews University and holds a Master of Arts in Museum Studies and Nonprofit Management from The George Washington University. Possessing specialized credentials in Orton-Gillingham instruction, testing, and evaluations, Hope is dedicated to helping students build strong foundational skills and succeed as confident readers.

 

Hope's path to GRACEPOINT grew out of a deeply personal calling after both of her children were diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age. After observing their progress during two years of Orton-Gillingham tutoring, she went back to school to master the methodology herself and help her own children. That experience sparked a passion to support other families navigating similar journeys. Over the years, Hope recommended GRACEPOINT to several of her students before joining the community herself-first as a substitute teacher and reading specialist, and now as a dedicated classroom reading teacher. Driven by her teaching philosophy, "Know it till you know it till you know it!", she focuses on instilling lasting confidence in every learner she guides.

 

Outside of the classroom, Hope has been married to her husband, Andy, for 30 years. They are proud parents to two adult children: Sarah Elizabeth, a junior at the University of Georgia, and Andrew, a Mercer University MBA graduate working in finance in Atlanta. Their family is completed by two cherished rescue King Charles Spaniels. In her free time, Hope enjoys hiking and traveling with her family. Grounded in her faith, she finds daily inspiration in 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you."
