Secret Sauce to Improve a Struggling Student's Confidence

Does your struggling middle or high school student find school boring, fail to see academics as relevant, glaze over during lectures, tune out theoretical and abstract info, or complain that none of their assignments feel possible?

Students with learning differences may get frustrated when learning is packaged in formats that are a mismatch for that student. Scholastic achievement may go undetected and unrecognized, giving the student an incorrect, repeating message that they are not cut out for academic settings. 

Traditional approaches to academic coaching have mixed results when students don’t formulate a connection between tools they are given and how they can apply them in new learning scenarios. Fortunately, experiential learning via a topic of interest can revitalize a learner’s engagement.

​With support, students can leverage their passion for a favorite topic to fuel exploration of a research project of their choosing. Solving hands-on problems using a variety of analytical, creative, and communication skills helps students strengthen academic capabilities, which can later translate to improved focus and performance in school setting. Experiencing mastery bolsters a student’s image of themselves as a learner who is able to achieve something concrete, original, and systematically organized.

    Who Am I?
    Why Do I Care?

    I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. As a young person, I could have used someone like me to get help navigating academics and life transitions. While I didn't have the benefit of a coach who understood learning differences, this blog allows me to ideally put my hard won insights to good use helping others.
