Ed Therapy 8-12
Success comes from teaching me how they learn.
Through educational therapy, I create an individualized tool kit designed to remediate a learning disability or any other learning challenges. I do this by asking direct questions and role playing with my older students and using games and drawing with younger ones. This is how I allow them to teach me their reality – and I can see where they become frustrated, what that looks like, and most importantly, where they shine and succeed.
We then work together to map out their strengths alongside their weaknesses and formulate solutions for their success.
I think my superpower is helping my kids understand the magnificence of how their specific brains work. When they have the roadmap, hopelessness fades and students re-find joy in their classrooms, in learning, and in themselves.
When these kids relax into understanding how THEY learn best – with my support – their minds unlock. Their spirits soar. They relax and they learn.
I want to be clear, however: educational therapy is NOT tutoring. I’m providing direct remediation to skills that need intervention and attention.
Do you see your child in these profiles?
“My son is really emotional, to the point where he has a challenging time making and maintaining friends. I think he’s immature compared to his peers. He just can’t seem to read the social cues in situations.”

“My son with ADHD is forgetful and cannot seem to organize his work or schedule. He’s smart, but totally unmotivated by school. He’s behind academically in reading, math and writing. His teachers tell me he has attention lapses in school.”
“My daughter is inquisitive, thinks outside the box, and is certainly capable of doing all her schoolwork. But it takes an enormous amount of time to complete her homework. She’s so easily frustrated now and her self-confidence is really slipping.”
“My daughter is probably a grade or two levels below her peers in math, reading and writing. I’m sure that’s why she struggles with the daily work in the classroom – her foundation in reading and math is weak. She just can’t process the information fast enough.”
