How I Work
When a student struggles with reading and writing, the issue isn't a lack of talent— it’s a lack of a clear system.
Advanced skills like writing an analytical essay or breaking down a complex text require two things at once: deep critical thinking and strong organization. If a student doesn't know how to manage their time, organize their ideas, or break a massive assignment into bite-sized steps, they get stuck.
That is where I step in. My approach explicitly connects literacy with executive functioning skills.
I specialize in taking intimidating academic challenges and demystifying them into clear, structured, and manageable steps. By creating a supportive, reflective space, I help students shift from feeling completely overwhelmed to feeling capable, organized, and independent. I don't just help them get through tonight's homework. I focus on skills that last.
