Coaching students to succeed in the classroom and in life
My Story
Hey there! I'm a Whole Child Coach specialized in supporting students aged 9-12. As a former teacher, I absolutely loved my 20-plus years in elementary classrooms. I’ve taught all over—in public schools here in CT, in other states, and even at American schools abroad. The best part of my job was always watching kids grow and really start to believe in themselves. Now, I get to keep doing that by working one-on-one with students through personalized coaching.
A 'Whole Child' Philosophy
After all my years in the classroom, one thing is super clear to me: helping kids thrive academically means helping them grow as a whole person. Grades matter, but so is nurturing the other capacities that are critical to lasting success.This is supported by research. A major meta analysis* in the journal Child Development found that kids who learned social and emotional skills saw their academic performance jump by 11 percentile points. Another report* from the Learning Policy Institute found that these programs don’t just boost grades, they also help kids build better social skills and positive behaviors. So, my whole goal is to help your child get the inner strength and skills they need to do great in school and in life!
My Approach
Academic Growth: My coaching is all about your child—we’ll find what works for them and build a strong foundation for future success together. We'll do more than just coursework, homework, and test prep. We’ll build powerful study habits, learn how to manage time, and practice critical thinking. I'll help your child discover how they learn best and empower them to become a more confident and independent learner.
Social & Emotional Development: We’ll practice key skills like listening and communication, and learn how to be a good friend. I’ll help your child get a handle on their emotions and figure out healthy ways to solve problems. These are skills they’ll use forever!
Personal Empowerment: I’ll help your child build a resilient spirit, so they don't give up when things get tough. By celebrating their progress and treating mistakes as opportunities to learn, I'll help them grow in confidence and take charge of their own success.
