Serving Marin County & Beyond
STUDENT COACHING. ONLY IN-PERSON.
If you’re seeking a veteran educator and Educational Therapist for in-person work with your child or teen, I’m currently accepting inquiries. My office, The Lab, is located in Kentfield, CA, near Marin General, with weekday, after school, and limited weekend availability.
I am a seasoned pro at helping learners of all ages master essential habits: mindsets, organizational skills, productivity, and subject matter.
Academic & Self-Regulation Skills / Outcomes:
In-Person at the Lab for Greater Impact
Writing: My light-hearted, tech-focused approach is frequently a game-changer for reluctant writers. The Lab has lots of Apps and Extensions to check out.
​
Math: I specialize in establishing foundational skills through a blend of hands-on activities, virtual manipulatives, and digital resources.
​
Sustaining attention: The Lab is a space where students get to practice sustaining attention, with all the "EF things" like timers, to-do lists, etc.
Completion: "Done" requires more than just appearing or wanting to be finished; completion and reflection (not perfection) build a sense of control over the process
​
Task initiation: High and low-tech tools / apps / templates help students begin work (bonus: they learn which work for them, under what circumstances -outside the Lab)
​
Challenging limiting beliefs: When learners demonstrate their skills and talents, they become more open to new, positive, and motivating perspectives.
​
Keeping cool: The Lab provides a space where big emotions cool through supportive coaching, skill building, tech tools, and a calm environment; helping reduce emotional intensity and boost motivation and engagement.
​
Processing speed and motor skills: Assistive Technology and other resources are major productivity boosters -try out most of them here in the Lab.​
​
Workflow Skills: All of the above combine to improve organization, information retention, and processing speed -key skills that support efficient and effective learning & organization.
"Now that I've seen it this way, it's easier..."
​
So many bright students can be "lost in the procedures." They just haven't been taught workflow skills that work for them. Providing mental blueprints, coupled with helpful tools and techniques, I teach more efficient ways of getting it all done. Often, students just need to be taught how. This shift paves the way for lasting academic and personal achievement. Less stress, too.
