Who I work with
Every student learns differently. I teach to how they learn.
Students of all ages
I work with students of all ages and levels, and I teach each one according to their particular needs.
I work effectively with neurodiverse students, students with ADHD, and students on IEPs, and I'm qualified to support a wide range of learning styles, learning disabilities and exceptionalities.
Working professionals
I also coach working professionals who want to sharpen their competitive edge and cut down the overwhelm with productivity strategies and better work systems.
Think task and project management, email management, time management and practical organization.

How I can help
Executive Function Coaching
One-on-one coaching in organization, time management, homework tracking, project management, study skills and more. I specialize in learning disabilities and ADHD.
Also available for working professionals.
Study Skills Coaching
I teach students how to learn: note-taking, organization, study techniques, memorization, test-taking strategies and focus.
Book a skills session, or a session before a big test where we study together so you walk in prepared.
Writing Instruction
Grade 6 through adulthood. Generating ideas, organizing essays, every type of writing, and strategies for revision. I meet you where you are and fill in the gaps.
Expert support for writers with ADHD, dyslexia and other language-based disabilities.
Application Essays
I've helped hundreds of students craft their personal narratives and college essays, plus supplementals, scholarship and school-specific essays.

I know the SAT and ACT front and back. New to testing or just need a review, I'll teach you key content and strategies to raise your scores and your confidence. Not sure which test is right for you? Ask me.
