Hello! I am Leslie, an educational strategist, certified professional coach, and double 4.0 GPA graduate dedicated to helping students move from academic stress to greater confidence and competence. As the former founder and director of a diagnostic-prescriptive learning center (A-PLUS Education Center) and former Director at Sylvan Learning Center, I have 5+ years of direct experience helping K–12 students identify learning gaps and develop personalized pathways for success. My broader professional experience includes adult learning and development, training, and coaching. I hold a Master’s degree in Human Services Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications.
My approach combines academic support with practical study and executive-function skills. Sometimes a student who appears to be struggling in a subject is actually missing an underlying skill needed to succeed. I help identify what is getting in the way and build practical strategies to address it. Depending on the student’s needs, we may work on reading and writing skills, organization, time management, task initiation, assignment planning, test preparation, and the development of more effective study habits.
My tutoring style is warm, encouraging, and individualized. Rather than simply giving students answers, I help them understand what they are learning, solve problems, use appropriate academic resources, and develop strategies they can increasingly use independently. Parents and students are welcome to message me with their academic concerns and goals so we can determine whether I am a good fit and develop a plan for moving forward.
