Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you stopped by.
My career has been devoted to helping students become stronger, more independent learners. My coaching is grounded in current research in the science of learning, executive functioning, and cognitive science, ensuring students learn practical, evidence-based strategies that lead to lasting success.
I provide individualized, one-on-one academic coaching for students in 8th grade through high school, as well as rising college freshmen, helping them develop the skills, confidence, and independence they need to succeed in school and beyond.
Many of the students I work with are bright and capable but struggle with organization, writing, study strategies, executive functioning, or simply feel overwhelmed by the increasing demands of school. My coaching is practical, encouraging, and focused on helping students replace frustration with effective strategies and become confident, independent learners.
Every session is built around each student’s actual coursework while strengthening reading comprehension, annotation, grammar, writing, planning, and effective study habits. More importantly, students learn not only what to study, but how to learn more effectively—developing skills that continue to serve them long after a particular assignment or course has ended.
I offer weekly private coaching during the school year and individualized summer programs—all conducted virtually.
I’d be delighted to learn about your student and discuss how academic coaching might help. Please reach out to schedule a complimentary introductory phone conversation.
