Janet

Certified Tutor

Hello, I have over twenty years experience working with students who are Talented and Gifted, on the Autistic Spectrum, have a Specific Learning Disability, and/or Memory/Processing Disorder.

I am a Certified Academic Coach and hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology; I have training as a child psychotherapist in Los Angeles. I have seen most of my students progress due to the individualized goals I create based on their specific learning dynamics.

I love working with students and finding unique ways to help them reach their objectives. As an educator and trained psychotherapist, I have utilized many techniques that have proven successful in basic academic skills, organizational skills, communication, stress management and confidence building.

In addition to improvement of grades, academic coaching will many times improve:

Test Taking Skills
Self-esteem
Assertive speech
Organizational skills
Interviewing Techniques
Social Skills
Emotional Intelligence
Problem Solving
School/Life Balance
Stress Management

Have your child master vital life skills by learning to be more aware of how their thoughts and feelings influence their actions. This allows children, teens and young adults to critically observe what is going on and choose reactions that are beneficial to them.

I am a trained psychotherapist, have worked as an educator, and I am now bringing my skills into academic coaching. Most importantly, I love what I do.
