We help you navigate your academic journey with confidence
Our approach
We take a personalized and empathic approach to student support. Having been students ourselves at various times, we’ve all struggled with navigating school, have resisted opportunities for help, failed tests, and told ourselves over and again that we simply cannot do it. Through our own experiences and our professional expertise, we know that it’s possible to feel more competent and confident in our academic journeys, with a greater sense of self-efficacy, joy, and personal fulfillment. In our Learning Specialist Consultations, we teach a combination of metacognitive strategies (thinking about how you learn), executive function skills (brain-based skills that help you plan, focus, and juggle multiple tasks), and social-emotional strategies tailored to students’ specific needs and goals.
Our values
Listen to and Honor the Whole Person
Our academic lives are not just about academics. They ought to include an awareness of how our complex backgrounds and experiences impact our thinking, learning, and social-emotional health, particularly within complicated schooling systems.
We celebrate and support the rich diversity, identities, and experiences of our clients as the highest priority, as a lever for student self-awareness and growth.
Encourage Resilience and Self-Efficacy
We believe that when we are resilient and believe in ourselves – and are kind to ourselves when we stumble – we stand to nurture self-confidence, creativity, and joy.
Empower Self-Advocacy and Lifelong Learning
We recognize that advocating for ourselves is hard and empathize when people resist support. The methods we teach empower our clients to become ardent self-advocates. Likewise, we are dedicated to fostering growth through collaborative, lifelong learning in all aspects of our work.
