Educational Consultant
I help parents understand why learning is not working and what to adjust.We consider attention, environment, daily rhythm, and foundational skills to make learning more accessible.This work takes an ecological view of learning, understanding it as shaped by the relationship between the child, their environment, and the conditions of daily life.Often, parents reach out because something doesn’t feel right. A child may be struggling, exhausted, or disengaged, or what they are hearing from school does not match what they see at home. We begin by making sense of what is happening before deciding what to change.This work is grounded in homeschooling, online, and hybrid learning environments, where there is flexibility to adjust rhythm, pacing, and conditions for learning.I also work with families navigating school settings, focusing on what can be understood and supported within those constraints.
If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out via email.I offer a brief 20-minute complimentary call to understand what you’re seeing and whether this work would be helpful.Ongoing conversations are offered on a sliding scale, which we can discuss after we’ve had a chance to talk.
