I set your child up with the winning Mind-Set, needed Skill-Set, customized Action-Set, and personalized Tool-Set.
I understand that one size doesn't fit all, and all my plans are tailored to each child's uniqueness.
I coach struggling students, unmotivated learners, and those who hate schoolwork.
Unlike traditional methods that focus on weaknesses, we harness your child's strengths and their potential.
The solution I offer is based in relationship learning, and it’s key to discuss our expectations and determine if we are a match and are motivated to work with each other.
We will meet and discuss your current situation and your child’s past and recent experience with learning. Based on your child's needs and your goals, I will present to you a custom solution tailored to your child's needs.
Based on our conversation, you will learn why your child is struggling to learn, and the exact steps needed to improve your child’s motivation, performance and how we can work together as a team.
"Alexa helped our daughter Lauren so much during her senior year of high school. Schoolwork and college scholarship applications were overwhelming, and Alexa helped Lauren to organize and prioritize. One of Lauren’s biggest challenges is interacting with her peers and developing friendships. Alexa helped Lauren understand social cues and calm her anxiety through her relatable shared high school experiences. We are so thankful for Alexa. Her expertise and patience are
invaluable!"
—Laura, Parent
"Alexa has been a total game changer for our student! ADHD can be hard on the whole family with so much parental attention spent on the educational and organizational needs of one child. Alexa has been able to step in and help our high school student get on track, and stay on track, while slowly filling some of the executive function gaps that were undermining his efforts. There’s been an increase in his overall happiness, confidence, and attitude toward school work. Not to mention, overall harmony in our household. We are so grateful!"
—Ashlie, Parent
"I cannot recommend Alexa highly enough! My son, who is on the autism spectrum, struggles with executive functioning skills. Alexa and her guidance have been a game changer for him! Alexa is patient, knowledgeable, and very skilled at helping individuals with executive functioning challenges. She has an understanding of autism and was able to tailor her approach to meet my son where he is at. She has worked with my son to develop strategies for time management, organization, and study skills, and provided ongoing support and guidance throughout his first year of college. My son was able to succeed academically and gain the confidence he needed to navigate college life. I am so grateful for all she has done, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an executive functioning coach."
