The Conscious Learner

Specialties

Is your potential higher than your achievement? I have been helping learners achieve their goals for over two decades.

The Conscious Learner serves learners age 15 and up, in college, graduate school, high school and homeschool. I offer one-​on-​one tutoring in reading, writing, and thinking in the humanities and social sciences, coaching for those with attentional differences (ADD/​ADHD), and help with making the transition to college. The approaches are all thoroughly student-​centered, with the mission of igniting learners’ authoritative and creative participation. Conscious learners take full ownership of their educations, becoming self-​directed, resourceful, successful, life-​long learners.

Additional services:

* Small group tutorials, workshops and seminars

* Consulting for educators

* Creative writing coaching

* Educational study-​abroad programs

Free initial consultation, and true comfort scale pricing.
