Many Laguna families knew Ashley Tidey as a wonderfully capable and personable independent tutor of writing, reading, and test preparation for Grade 7-12 students here in the Santa Barbara area, but what they didn't know is that before starting a family, she served as a lecturer within UCSB’s Writing Program for five years, and before that as an associate instructor of English at Indiana University. Ms. Tidey grew up in independent schools, her father having been the long-time Head of Sacramento Country Day, and she went on to earn her B.A. at Williams College and her Ph.D. from Indiana University in Bloomington, both in English.
