About A.L.L.
Middle and High School Students
The Adolescent Learning Lab was created to fill the gap that I saw in providing deeply human learning services to bright and funny kids who were not performing as well as they could be in school. Thus, the central principle behind the work of A.L.L. is that all kids are capable.
Some learners simply need to understand their own tendencies in order to work more productively, others need a trusted source outside of the home to uncover strategies that foster their best work, and still others have to engage in directed self-reflection that can break bad habits.
Students and I engage in a methodical audit of their existing processes to identify pain points, and continuously evaluate how best to navigate complex school systems and stay on top of their work. The result is calmer, happier kids who feel more confident as they work towards eliminating piles of crumpled paper and missed deadlines.
Experience You Can Trust
I am a practicing Educational Interventionist with NASET Board Certification as a Special Educator. I also completed Orton Gillingham+ training from the Institute for Multisensory Education, and I have over 25 years of school-based teaching and administrative experience. As a former Head of High School and Grade Dean at Saint Ann’s School and a Literature and Film Studies teacher at both Saint Ann’s and The Co-op School, I have worked with hundreds of middle and high school students and their families to uncover the true source of academic issues that are standing in a child’s way. I have also mentored and coached many employees who need to find better ways to approach their work or family lives.
I help student and adult clients alike to open the door for self-discovery and finally find the success of which they’re capable. Book an appointment today to see how I can help you or your child move forward with confidence.
The adults with whom I work represent a wide variety of professional sectors, spanning creative, educational, entrepreneurial and other fields. What they have in common is a knowledge that their work, parenting, or ___ systems would benefit from incorporating new strategies into busy and chaotic daily lives. Whether you have a formal diagnosis of ADHD or just feel like there has to be a better way to tackle the many responsibilities awaiting you each day, I can help filter out the noise around you and create a clear path towards accomplishing set goals.
My decades of mentoring employees and guiding parents through turbulent teenage years has shown me that there is no standardized way to move from a feeling of “stuckness” into the actionable steps that allow us to get out of triage mode. My work with adults is highly individualized and focuses on everything from creating healthy work boundaries to creating consistent systems at home, with the aim of finding a sense of balance in the process.
