Academic Coaching

Large classes, overloaded teachers too often contribute to students losing their way.  By providing   individualized attention and proven strategies, I help students navigate school successfully.  As a public and private school teacher for many years, I understand the challenges of being in school. I help you

• establish effective study skills
• become better organized
• deal with anxiety 
• improve test performance
• manage different learning styles - ADHD, dyslexia, etc.
• regain self confidence and an enthusiasm for learning
• prepare for college

I attend carefully to the details of your particular situation and offer creative strategies that address your unique strengths. Come prepared with the entire contents of your backpack. We will start from there and together we will design a plan to help you make the most out of your time in school.
