LumiVerse^™ Literacy

Every Learner. Their Own Pace. Their Own Path.

Created together by our founders — Darlene Diaz, reading specialist with 20+ years of experience, and Jennifer Hennessey, ESE specialist — LumiVerse™ Literacy is a multidisciplinary academic learning program designed to support the whole child.

Our approach connects reading, writing, vocabulary, science, social studies, informational texts, and real-world experiences. Through higher-order questioning, critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and independent problem-solving, students learn not just to find answers, but to think, reason, and discover on their own.

Every learner receives instruction that respects their individual strengths, academic needs, and learning pace. That is why LumiVerse is our signature: differentiated for every learner, because every learner deserves to soar.

Signature Program

Lumi Accelerate — Personalized K–5 Tutoring

Assessment-Driven. Multidisciplinary. Individualized.

Our signature accelerated literacy program integrates reading, writing, vocabulary development, comprehension, informational texts, scientific questioning, social studies, and critical thinking.

Every student enrolled and paying for Lumi Accelerate tutoring — through a Step Up scholarship or private pay — receives a FREE academic assessment and a FREE academic plan tailored to their child's individual learning needs. We keep track as they move along in the program, reassess them, and continue to give them a new academic plan. Assessments, quizzes, scorecards and academic plans are always free and included, and are never charged extra. Families may also ask about at-home support.

After reviewing the assessment results, our team creates a personalized PDF workbook for each enrolled student to use during tutoring sessions. Families may purchase additional materials to support learning at home.

MEET THE FOUNDERS & DESIGNERS OF LumiVerse LITERACY

Two Educational Visionaries. One Shared Mission. Every Child’s Potential.

LumiVerse Literacy was born from a shared belief: no two children learn alike, so no two learning journeys should be the same.

Created together by founders Darlene Diaz and Jennifer Hennessey, LumiVerse combines Darlene's 20+ years as an educator and reading specialist with Jennifer's ESE expertise in IEPs, 504 plans and ESE compliance, to create an assessment-driven, individualized learning experience.

Darlene Diaz, M.Ed.

Founder & Managing Director | Reading Specialist

A bilingual literacy advocate and curriculum innovator, Darlene brings extensive experience across public, charter, and private education. Her specialty is reading intervention. With Jennifer, she designed LumiVerse Literacy's interdisciplinary approach, integrating reading, writing, vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking with science and social studies.

Her vision is to transform assessment results into meaningful, personalized instruction that helps every learner build skills, confidence, and measurable academic growth.

Jennifer Hennessey, M.Ed.

Co-Founder | ESE Specialist

An Exceptional Student Education (ESE) advocate and specialist, Jennifer brings extensive expertise in differentiated instruction, individualized learning plans, curriculum adaptation, and targeted academic intervention.

She reviews IEPs and 504 plans and specializes in ESE compliance. With Darlene, she designed LumiVerse’s instruction, helping ensure that students with diverse learning needs receive purposeful, responsive support.

Our Vision. Your Child’s Journey.

Together, we designed LumiVerse Literacy to move beyond one-size-fits-all tutoring. Lumi Accelerate enrollment includes a complimentary academic assessment, scorecard, and individualized academic learning plan — and as your child progresses, we track their growth, reassess them, and issue a new plan, all free.

Every Child Is Unique. Every Learning Journey Should Be, Too.

From Baseline to Progress

1. Baseline. Your child’s first assessment sets their starting point — their baseline.
2. Tutoring. For 6 to 8 weeks, your child works through their Individual Learning Plan with our team.
3. Reassessment. A reassessment measures growth against that baseline, and the plan is adjusted for the next stage.

Ready for the Next Grade

LumiVerse is about getting your child ready for the next grade level. Our assessment shows early whether a child is starting to fall behind, so help can begin before small gaps become big ones.

From there, we build a plan and work it as a team — your child’s teacher, you as the parent, and J & D as the specialists — to bring your child to grade level so elementary school is not a struggle. Everything is individualized to your child.

The LumiVerse Prescription

Enrolled students receive FREE reassessments every 6 to 8 weeks.
With every reassessment, the Individual Learning Plan adapts to your student's progress — always based on their latest results.
Tutoring is personalized and differentiated for each student, even in small groups.
A home learning portal with downloadable books is coming soon.
