Our daughter has gained confidence and skill after working with Kristen. She has improved her executive function and academic skills. Now my daughter believes she can be successful. It is wonderful to be able to be a dad again and leave the academic coaching to Kristen... She seamlessly moves from coach to math teacher to editor to motivator! She also helped us understand her accommodations, explained her report in terms we could understand, and helped us work with the school. She has been a great advocate and support to our entire family through our daughter's middle and high school years.

Unlike tutoring, which focuses only on subject-specific support and academic coaching which focuses only on executive functioning skills, we take an individualized approach, considering the unique needs of each student which may include tutoring and academic coaching, but not limited to one or the other. In addition, our approach integrates knowledge from psychology, education, and neuroscience. Emotional and motivational support are integral components, fostering resilience and self-confidence. Our program includes collaboration with other professionals and advocating for students, creating a comprehensive and holistic approach to support their academic and emotional well-being.
