Personalized Tutoring Support

I help students transform academic frustration into sustainable success by decoding the 'how' of learning. My approach goes beyond grades to build the executive systems, confidence, and self-advocacy skills neurodivergent learners need for life after graduation.

I provide strengths-based, in-person support for students in the Northwest and North Suburbs of Chicago, including Arlington Heights, Prospect Heights, Mt. Prospect, Des Plaines, Glenview, Wilmette, and surrounding areas. Remote support is also available at a discounted rate.

Middle-School and Early High School Math Support

I provide strengths-based math support for students in traditional classes who have often been told they are 'not math people.' By using multi-sensory strategies and a neurodiversity-affirming approach, I help students with diverse learning profiles rediscover confidence and joy in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Geometry.

Dr. Jo Boaler's Mathematical Mindsets inspires my approach.
I focus on building rock-solid foundations and deep understanding, rather than high-speed acceleration through honors curriculum

Academic Executive Function Coaching

I specialize in strengths-based executive function coaching that transforms academic challenges into manageable routines. By focusing on a student's existing cognitive strengths, we build sustainable systems for task initiation, organization, and time management tailored to diverse learning profiles.

This work is most effective when a student is ready (even reluctantly!) to build new habits and has a supportive home environment to reinforce them. Because my expertise is focused on the academic side of executive function, I recommend that families whose primary challenge is ADHD-related behavioral regulation seek out professionals who specialize specifically in that area.

Neurodiversity, Learning Disabilities, Learning Differences

Learning Differences & Neurodiversity

Neurodivergent students possess unique cognitive strengths that, when properly supported, lead to extraordinary growth. I specialize in bridging the gap between a student's potential and their academic experience through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Targeted Multi-Sensory Support: Personalized strategies for students navigating dyscalculia, ADHD traits, and processing differences—building concrete skills alongside academic confidence.
Rapport-Driven Growth: Sessions focused on reducing "math anxiety" and academic stress by creating a safe, high-trust environment where students feel seen and understood.
Strategic Scaffolding: Moving beyond rote memorization to help students decode complex concepts using customized, strength-based tools they can carry into any classroom.

Success Factors

My approach is grounded in a landmark 20-year study that found six 'success attributes' — not IQ or grades — were the strongest predictors of thriving in adulthood for individuals with learning disabilities (often referred to today as learning differences):

Self-awareness
Proactivity
Perseverance
Appropriate goal setting
Effective use of social support systems
Emotional stability / coping strategies

Here is a wonderful parent guide based on the research.

Who I Serve

My expertise centers on middle/high schoolers (grades 7–12), with support for motivated adult learners too.

Adolescents: Multi-modal math/EF for neurodivergent growth; extensive training in teen development.
Adults: EF coaching, foundational math/ESL — building independence at any stage.

Who I Work Best With

I thrive working with:

Motivated students who are ready to engage with supports and build new skills — because real growth comes from their effort and willingness.
Supportive families who value diverse learning profiles, commit to reinforcing strategies at home, and partner patiently for long-term progress (not quick fixes).
Situations where my skills in multi-sensory math, academic executive function, and rapport-building can make a clear difference.

Tutoring is a team effort. If this sounds like your family, we'll make great progress together!
