Description

I support self-led learners who don’t fit neatly into conventional school models, and for the families supporting them. I specialize in working with neurodivergent students who think differently, learn differently, and often need a more flexible, individualized path, which self-direct learning fits beautifully.

The support can be for families already homeschooling, or for children enrolled in alternative or private programs, or for building or brainstorming something creative and nonconventional before you’ve gotten started. I can help to design, modify or enhance custom education plans or goals, refine structure and skills without limiting autonomy, collaborate with schools and families when needed, and/or coach students alongside their meaningful, self-directed goals.

I believe self-led learning works best when there is both freedom and thoughtful support behind the scenes.
