Fantastic
Made my daughter feel comfortable enough to open up about her strengths and weaknesses, developed an actionable plan in the first session to start making incremental improvements. I couldn’t be happier and I’m looking forward to seeing how much my daughter can grow over the next couple months heading into high school…

Helpful, Clear, Methodical
Sarah is working on Executive Functioning skills with our high-achieving son who also has ADHD Inattentive and some EF challenges. She has tackled our struggles head-on with helpful suggestions. She works with my son, who quickly grew comfortable with her. And she also provides some parenting coaching to help me guide my son more effectively. Sarah is compassionate and patient, and great support.

Organizational Help/Study Skills
Sarah has been working with my middle school daughter. Sarah is helping her learn strategies to become better organized. She’s teaching her how to prep, plan, and study for upcoming tests/assignments, etc. So far we are very happy with the results! Our daughter is initiating new assignments and managing current ones well. This was an area we rarely saw occur. We are excited for Sarah to help our daughter become a better student now, so high school won’t be so overwhelming. She’ll have a set of skills to carry with her!

College Admissions Advice
Sarah offered great advice and guidance for our daughter on college admissions. Prior to our last meeting, she tutored our daughter for the reading part of the SAT. The tools she provided were helpful and the score increased on the next attempt. Highly recommend.

She knows how to work with teens
Sarah and my child only had their first session last week but it went really well. Sarah seems to understand the struggles that high-schoolers are facing. I'm hoping that Sarah can help my 17-y-o with their executive functioning issues in order for them to get through senior year.
