Academic Coaching

I believe you have the ability to achieve your goals and lead an independent and successful life. As a coach, I focus on establishing a strong relationship with you and equipping you with tools for success in academics, executive functions, life skills, and social skills so you can learn anything you want.

Working as a special education teacher, I saw many students struggle with executive functions. Tutoring alone did not solve the problem, which was frustrating for the students, their teachers, and their parents. I offer executive function coaching and content tutoring at the same time as I have found that students have more success when both are approached together. 

My specialty is in incorporating EF coaching into math content tutoring. I have helped many students come up to grade level in math when administrators and teachers said they were at a loss on how to help the students.

Testimonials:

“Betsy took the time to make a personal connection with our daughter and establish a thorough understanding of her strengths and areas to work on.  She created a plan to strengthen key math skills while remaining flexible to cover current content from her school curriculum.  Her support has increased math fluency and created a huge boost in confidence in our daughter as a math student.  Her enthusiasm and relatable attitude towards learning has helped not only with math but executive functioning skills relating to studying and practicing math skills for daily use.  Betsy has gone above and beyond to accommodate our schedule and fit weekly tutoring into our available time frame.  We feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to continuing with her.” - Jake, parent of 7th grader

“I am a parent of a middle school student at a private school. My
son has a hard time focusing in class and struggles in many subjects. Betsy,
our tutor has not only taught him new strategies for learning, but she has
also been a great advocate for him. I appreciate her helping my
child maneuver throughout his lessons in a positive learning environment.” - Naomi, parent of an 8th grader
