If You’ve Ever Felt This Way…
🌟 You know your kid is smart. 🌟
But you’re frustrated, stressed, and worn out trying to
figure out how to help them.
They give up too easily.
They stare at a blank page for an hour.
They forget everything they learned yesterday.
If you’ve ever found yourself late at night googling:
“What’s wrong with my kid?”
“Why doesn’t my kid learn?”
“How do I get my kid to focus?”
…or frantically buying new curricula and online classes,
only to hit another dead end — you’re not alone.

I’m not just a coach — I’m a mom, an educator, and a researcher who’s spent over two decades helping kids learn how to learn.
My mission is simple: to help parents raise kids who know how to learn, adapt, and thrive — in school and in life.
Why Work With Me?
I know what this feels like because I lived it.
When my oldest started kindergarten, he was curious, smart, and full of energy. But the pressure of school shut him down. He stopped raising his hand. He stopped enjoying learning. And he started to withdraw.
I realized he didn’t need more drills or stricter routines. He needed someone to guide him in how to learn — how to focus, start tasks, stay organized, and take ownership.
That realization changed everything. It became the foundation for the Learning by Doing framework I’ve now refined through 16 years of homeschooling, 20+ years of teaching, and a PhD in cultural anthropology. And it’s why I coach parents like you today.
To help you learn to mentor your child to become a curious, confident, independent learner.
How I Can Help You
Results You’ll See in Just 4 Sessions
And long-term, your child won’t just get through schoolwork. They’ll develop academic confidence and the study skills they need to thrive in middle school, high school, and beyond.
The Transformation
Less stress. More confidence.
A child who believes in themselves.
And a parent who finally feels calm, clear, and equipped to guide them —
without constant battles or second-guessing.
Because once your child knows how to learn…
they can learn anything.
Who is Coaching For?
This coaching is for parents, families, and teachers who:
⚠️ This is not therapy or behavior management.
It’s a practical, compassionate approach to raising an independent learner —
designed to support both neurotypical and neurodivergent kids.
Your Unique Path Forward with Clarity and Purpose
Most kids don’t need another curriculum, another online class, or more nagging.
What they need are the executive functioning skills and study skills that make learning stick — focus, planning, working memory, flexibility, and resilience — practiced in ways that feel real and doable.
This is what I offer:
A form of academic coaching that helps you stop battling over schoolwork and start building the skills that matter most. Together, we’ll use short, practical, ten-minute “learning by doing” strategies — like mind maps, checklists, Socratic questions, or small projects — woven right into the lessons and routines you already have.
👉 The biggest shift? You’ll stop feeling like you have to carry it all alone. Instead of being stuck in battles or nagging, you’ll have a simple way to guide your child — and more energy for the parts of parenting that feel good.
What Makes This Coaching Different
This isn’t tutoring. It’s not another system to pile on top of what you’re already doing.
It’s a framework for raising an independent learner — one that works across ages, subjects, and for neurodiverse kids too.
Here’s what that framework looks like:
Most “study skills” programs teach strategies in isolation. My coaching combines executive functioning skills, learning skills, and learning how to learn by doing — within a whole-child, mentorship model.
The result is not just a child who learns better — but a parent who feels calmer, and more confident guiding them.
What the 4-Session Coaching Path Includes
“Learning by Doing starts with the skills to learn.”
Over 4 focused sessions, we’ll move from daily struggles to a clear plan — and
you’ll learn how to coach your child toward independence.
Session 1: Observe & Decode the Struggle
Finally understand why learning isn’t sticking. We’ll uncover your child’s
learning profile, spot executive functioning skill bottlenecks, and
choose 2–3 priority learning skills.
➡️ You’ll leave with clarity, not guesswork.
Session 2: Teach the Skill (Without Nagging or Lecturing)
You’ll learn how to model, scaffold, and support your child using simple
ten-minute strategies.
➡️ You’ll leave with a real plan to introduce a core skill — and tools to do it
without micromanaging.
Session 3: Integrate the Skill Into Daily Learning
We’ll apply those skills to the subjects where your child struggles most (math,
writing, reading). This is where learning how to learn becomes real.
➡️ You’ll leave not only with strategies for your child, but with less stress
for yourself — because learning time will finally feel smoother and less like a
fight.
Session 4: Troubleshoot, Deepen, & Grow Independence
We’ll reflect, troubleshoot, and expand. You’ll learn how to scaffold, step
back, and guide your child toward more ownership.
➡️ You’ll leave with confidence that you know what to do next, instead of the
endless cycle of trying new things and hoping something sticks.

Learning Skills Coaching for Teens
From procrastination and stress… to confidence, independence, and momentum.
School gets harder in the teen years. Expectations rise, assignments pile up, and suddenly your child is supposed to “just know” how to manage it all. But most teens have never been taught the skills they actually need to succeed.
Most teens don’t need more tutoring.
They need the skills to learn.
Through executive functioning coaching and learning by doing strategies, I help teens build the tools school rarely teaches:
This is practical coaching that meets your teen where they are — with short, realistic strategies that work across all subjects.
What Parents Say
“I finally understand why my daughter melts down during writing. Now she’s using a checklist and actually finishes!” Homeschool mom of 11yo
“I thought my son just didn’t care. Now I see he didn’t know how to start. The scaffolding you gave us changed everything.” —Parent of 10yo in public school
“He made a mind map on his own for the first time. No fighting, no reminders. I cried.” Mom of a 9yo with ADHD
Success StorySadie’s Journey
One of my students, Sadie, had been labeled with numerous
learning disabilities in traditional school. Her mom had tried homeschooling when she was a young teen, but Sadie still struggled. She faced tremendous
challenges and had zero confidence or enthusiasm. When I started working with her, she was 15, disengaged, disheartened, and didn’t care.
I initially struggled to find a way to connect with Sadie
until I chose to discard conventional expectations. I focused on helping Sadie
become an active learner using project-based learning and a personalized,
self-paced approach. She started building confidence, learning problem-solving
strategies, and even set goals for herself. Together, we created a roadmap tailored to her strengths, and over time, she achieved milestones that once seemed unreachable, including earning a job certification before turning eighteen.
Sadie’s journey taught me the power of meeting each learner where they are—a philosophy I bring to every coaching session.
