My Programs
My coaching approach is designed to support students as they develop essential learning skills and planning strategies. My goal is to help students plan and prioritize tasks and to develop time management and working memory skills essential for success in school and beyond.
Executive Function Tutoring provides targeted support for students to develop their organized thinking, task planning, and task execution.
I collaborate with my students and their parents to identify challenges, implement strategies, and learn essential skills such as prioritizing tasks, transitioning between tasks, and creating routines. The goal is to empower students to navigate daily responsibilities more effectively in academic as well as personal settings.
Executive Functioning Tutoring
Literacy is an essential skill needed to fully function in school and in society. Some students struggle with phonemic awareness, decoding, or spelling and need extra help learning to read. These skills develop gradually, and, for some students, reading can be quite challenging. I use explicit instruction to help students learn to read.
Other students can read but have difficulty with reading comprehension. With these students, I focus on reading fluency; just as fluency aids reading comprehension, reading comprehension also helps fluency. In order to improve reading fluency, we work on building and reinforcing vocabulary.
Reading Tutoring
Writing Tutoring
Writing is an equally essential skill needed to fully function in school and in life. Some students struggle to express themselves coherently and need extra help to learn to write well. Written expression skills develop gradually and, for some students, can be quite challenging. I have students voice their ideas aloud, read their work out loud, and revise their writing to help them learn to write clearly and with conviction.
Just as athletes need coaching to hone their skills and improve their performance, so do students. I work closely with my students to address their academic challenges and improve their academic achievements.
My goal is to help students enhance their overall performance by teaching them skills, focusing on their learning habits, and promoting their self-confidence.
