Every student deserves the opportunity to excel, and every parent deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing their child possesses the essential skill set, mindset, and proactive action set to thrive in their educational journey.
As a certified Wholistic NeuroGrowth Learning Success Coach, I empower students to evolve into confident, capable, and independent learners. I believe in celebrating each student's unique strengths, transforming these strengths into their superpowers, and harnessing these superpowers to bridge any learning gaps.
My distinctive Explore, Relate, Connect method not only ignites students' motivation by emphasizing the 'why' of learning but also facilitates the creation of real-life connections. I understand the significance of a personal connection to the learning process.
My passion stems from personal experience; I was once a bright student who sat in class feeling inadequate due to ADHD and learning gaps. No one should ever endure that sense of inadequacy. The number of students experiencing similar struggles has increased, particularly due to the challenges posed by the pandemic.
My areas of expertise encompass general study skills, addressing executive function challenges, guiding students in mathematics and science, and helping with the critical transition to middle school. I also periodically offer enriching classes on exciting science topics and conduct workshops on executive functions.
By embarking on a learning journey with me, students not only gain the knowledge they need but also learn to love the process of learning itself.
I set your child up with the winning Mind-Set, needed Skill-Set, customized Action-Set, and personalized Tool-Set.
I understand that one size doesn't fit all, and all my plans are tailored to each child's uniqueness.
I coach struggling students, unmotivated learners, and those who hate schoolwork.
Unlike traditional methods that focus on weaknesses, we harness your child's strengths and their potential.
The solution I offer is based in relationship learning, and it’s key to discuss our expectations and determine if we are a match and are motivated to work with each other.
We will meet and discuss your current situation and your child’s past and recent experience with learning. Based on your child's needs and your goals, I will present to you a custom solution tailored to your child needs.
Based on our conversation, you will learn why your child is struggling to learn, and the exact steps needed to improve your child’s motivation, performance and how we can work together as a team.
“ I have struggled to better learn how my brain works and how I learn best, that is until I had Lisa. Before I thought that me not being able to pay attention was because there was something wrong with me. However, after working with Lisa I learned that everyone's brain works differently. She taught me that just because I don't learn like my friends doesn't mean I'm any less smart. I know I won't forget what I learned from Lisa.”
—Stella, 7th grade student
“Lisa was integral to my child’s development. She was a constant source of positive and candid reflection, encouragement and support. My child developed a better sense of self and responsibility with her, and matured as a middle school learner. I would recommend her without hesitation, she was a wonderful asset for his personal and scholastic growth.”
—Roger, father of a 6th grader
“Working with Lisa Ann has been an absolute game-changer for our family. Our gifted child, who has been struggling in school due to ADHD and anxiety, has found a true ally in Lisa Ann. Her ability to help him create, implement, and manage effective systems has not only improved his academic performance but has also transformed our relationship with him.
Before Lisa Ann, our evenings were often filled with battles to get homework completed, leading to heightened stress levels in our home. Thanks to Lisa Ann’s guidance, those nightly fights are now a thing of the past. Our household has seen a remarkable reduction in stress, and we have witnessed our child grow into an independent learner. We are profoundly grateful for her expertise, patience, and dedication to helping our child thrive. We can't recommend Lisa Ann enough for her exceptional work as a Learning Success Coach.”
—Meredith, mother of an 8th grader
