*1 spot left for fall semester*
I am an academic coach and tutor that specializes in students who learn differently, those who are otherwise capable yet struggle in the pursuit of achievement for whatever reason. I also take on students who have fallen behind in their semester/term and need urgent intervention to pass.

*1 spot left for fall semester*
I am an academic coach and tutor that specializes in students who learn differently, those who are otherwise capable yet struggle in the pursuit of achievement for whatever reason. I also take on students who have fallen behind in their semester/term and need urgent intervention to pass. My students want to do well academically but are drowning in expectations, work load, and the mixed messaging of what a good student is and how they should function. Some just want to pass, others are making the grade but at a personal cost. Whatever the words “success” and “achievement” mean, supporting the entire student is paramount.

Students: During a first lesson with me, you can expect me to ask a lot of questions about you, learn about what you wish to accomplish, examine your present situation, look through your materials, and make a plan moving forward. Rule #1: No shame! Your current situation is not a reflection or evaluation of who you are. I can see through all of that to what is real about you.

I am a full-time in-home academic tutor and coach to twins with autism. Since 2018, my main role has been to present high school curriculum in their learning style. In 2021, they earned their high school diplomas. Now they are 23, and we continue to focus on academics as the habitual brain work and interaction really make them come alive. We also focus on learning how to interact with others, to function out of their comfort zones, to operate in a world they don’t understand, and to cope with their individual challenges.

I also have 13 years experience in the classroom with preschool kids up to high school seniors in the rigid, cut-throat academic culture of Seoul, South Korea. So many are left behind in the system. I went above and beyond to make sure the academic experience in my classroom was supportive and adapted so that for just that moment, they felt seen, successful and fulfilled.

Looking forward to meeting you!

First session went great

Christina got to know my son, learned about his schedule, and helped him prepare for a test. We are pleased and looking forward to more sessions as school ramps up

Alice, 1 lesson with Christina

knowledgeable, dedicated, and kind!

We highly recommend Christina! She has worked with our son (college) on his executive function skills, providing strategies, scaffolding, and accountability. It is clear that she differentiates her instruction based on the student, and her commitment to helping our son achieve his goals was ever-present. Please consider Christina for your child's needs!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Christina spent time asking my son and I questions to determine where he needs help with his school work. She is nice and easy to work with. The tutoring session went well and we feel he will learn a lot working with Christina.
