Personal Experience
Unlike most educational consultants, I have experienced the issues, frustrations and process first-hand within my own family. My personal experience enriches my understanding and appreciation for what you and your family are currently going through. I believe it makes me a better consultant.Communication & Caring
Communication skills is the hallmark of my consulting. Calm, gentle and compassionate by nature, I am an attentive listener who presents candid, down to earth action plans and assessments. That I care about both your child and you will quickly become apparent. I will be there to help both of you through very challenging circumstances that can seem overwhelming.Clear Solutions
I understand that programs are not always what they seem. Parents are presented with choices that can seem baffling and confusing. I know what questions to ask and how to detect problems and inconsistencies. I will translate confusing terminology for you. I will help you find the right fit for your child. As Winston Churchill said, “The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity, the optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty”.
