I have extensive teaching experience and degrees in general and
special education with a concentration in Learning
Disabilities/Learning Differences (ADHD, Gifted, OCD, Anxiety,
Aspergers etc). In private practice as a Certified Learning/LD
Specialist, Executive Skills Coach, and Educational Consultant,
I guide students and parents as they navigate through college
admissions.
In a positive and supportive setting, students explore majors
and career options, discuss their strengths and interests,
develop and revise essays, apply to a list of best fit colleges,
and learn what to expect once on campus. I enjoy expanding
students' writing skills as they work with me one-on-one in a
dynamic and informative interaction to brainstorm and edit
essays.
Comprehensive consulting offers ACT/SAT test prep, academic
support, study skills, timeline development for standardized
tests, review of high school course selections, college search
and selection, interview strategies, summer suggestions,
transition to college preparation, and strategies to foster life
long learning. The goal is to help students find a best fit
college match while reducing stress during the process.
Specializations include Gifted, Learning
Differences/Disabilities, ADD, ADHD, Twice Exceptional, Anxiety
Issues, OCD, Asperger's, Developmentally Delayed, ACT/SAT test
prep, essay writing, English, reading, and Executive Functioning
skills.
I attend college conferences, tour campuses, read college news,
participate in small group admissions meetings, and listen to
timely webinars to keep current with admissions.
Personalized college advising, LD/ADD/ADHD support services,
graduate and law school admissions guidance are offered with
attention to individual needs while destressing the admissions
process for families. I love working with students to help them
realize their potential, enhance their self-esteem, and sculpt
their future!
