Fun, frustrating, exciting, exhausting - with ADHD all
of these can be felt in the course of just one hour!
I help students (K thru 8th Grade) develop the specific systems necessary to overcome their unique challenges by addressing diverse learning needs of outside-the-box thinkers. My coaching
is personalized to help individuals shine.

EDUCATOR & CERTIFIED ADHD COACH
As a veteran educator, I have spent the past 25 years helping students discover their hidden strengths and assuring them and their families, that every child is capable of achieving amazing things.
My passion for education has given me a dedication to teaching and working with children. It brings me extreme satisfaction connecting with each child and supporting their growth as a classroom teacher, Private Educator and ADHD Coach.
I help to improve the executive skills that are holding them back. As an ADHD Coach I can positively impact your child socially and academically, and in the process, increase their self-esteem.

Certified ADHD/ADD Coach
Most kids struggle at times to pay attention, listen and follow directions. But for children with ADHD, the struggles are harder and happen more often.
As a certified coach, I provide thoughtful, individualized sessions designed to meet your child’s needs. They think, learn and process differently so they need strategies tailored to their unique personalities. We will work together to identify behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that are not working for them or their families.
Your child will identify how they would like their lives to be and set attainable goals that reflect these desired outcomes. Together, we will develop effective strategies that break these goals down into manageable steps that include:
-
Strategic planning
-
Organization
-
Time management
-
Working Memory
-
Self-Monitoring
-
Self-Control
-
Focus
-
Starting Tasks
-
Flexible Thinking
-
Perseverance
I can help your child turn things around today, and start heading down the road to success. With my ADHD Coaching, your child can make meaningful progress, build confidence, and feel empowered.
My ADHD Coaching is done in a custom designed ADHD friendly classroom I call "The Treasure House". It is filled with a WEALTH of educational tools that will intrigue young minds.

"Having ADD myself,
I can relate to the frustration children
go through."

Some ADHD Students Need MORE
Even with special Coaching, some ADHD students fall behind in a regular classroom setting and can't keep up. Rather than be put into a situation of constantly trying to catch up with the rest of the class and have to repeat the grade over, it is helpful to give them a ONE ON ONE private education.
I am also available as a Private ADHD Educator for an entire school year. My private educational services are not considered “Home Schooling”. A curriculum of your choice is taught in my custom designed ADHD friendly classroom that is set up with an assortment of learning stations which include Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Geography and Art. My teaching will be tailored specifically to offer your child an enriching ONE ON ONE educational experience.
I have a special tuition package for 2 semesters of school.
I offer a FREE initial consultation.
