I help struggling students develop essential thinking and learning skills. My specialty is working with gifted and talented individuals who are spatially focused or twice-exceptional, including those on the autism spectrum, those with ADHD and attention challenges, and those that need help with executive functioning management. As a homework coach, I assist with materials, time, and space management, but my primary focus is teaching students how to take control of their own learning processes and become the boss of their brains.
Listening to the students as they think helps me to understand how they are processing information. From there I can design a plan to help them work through barriers.
I have both a certification in gifted and twice-exceptional teaching with a master's in International Education. I have taught for over 30 years, most of which were with gifted students.
I currently teach 2 days a week, Sunday and Monday, at $125 per hour. I work in person at the Edina Library, often. For those older kids wanting ADHD help, I normally set up a virtual session. After every session, I send a summary email to the family to ensure everyone stays informed and aligned as we move forward. Often I will explain what I am doing and why, and how that supports our shared goals.
