Learning Together ~ Helping Students Discover Strengths & Strategies
Learning Support is for students seeking additional academic support beyond the classroom. Using a creative, collaborative, and strength-based approach, students find an encouraging and supportive space to grow.
Learning Services
***Learning services are outside the controlled act of psychotherapy, and is not not considered therapy.
Approach to LearningStrength-based | Collaborative | Student-Centered | Creative-based | Relationship-based
A strength-based approach recognizes and builds on each student’s unique abilities, interests, and qualities. Difficulties are met with curiosity and compassion, encouraging students to take a pause, ask questions, draw on strengths, and discover new ways of approaching challenges.
A collaborative, student-centered approach values student involvement, inviting learners to play an active role in shaping the structure and direction of sessions. Feeling misunderstood, unheard, anxious, or lacking autonomy can create barriers to learning. Our primary focus is to establish a safe, supportive space that serves as a foundation for academic growth.
Creative approaches provide alternative ways to conceptualize concepts and challenges, supporting problem-solving, adaptability, and student engagement.
At the core - learning is supported by building a trusting and supportive relationship, where students feel comfortable in making mistakes and empowered to engage with new concepts.
What do Sessions Look Like?
Virtual | 90 mins | 60 mins | 30 mins
Sessions focus on working with students through current course-based material or a particular area of growth. The goal is to support students in their learning experience while also building confidence, self-esteem, and belief in their abilities.
Sessions integrate:
Creative Techniques | visuals, metaphors, analogy
Collaborative Learning | learning with students through new material
Reflective Questioning | promoting critical thought and deep understanding
Real-World Examples | applying skills/problems to real world scenarios to support learning
Brain & Body Breaks | allowing time to shift focus and recenter
Skill Building | strengthening executive function skills
Disclaimer**
The academic support offered is not a substitute for instruction from a certified educator. My approach is informed by previous teaching experience, personal experience, and education in psychology, cognitive science, and computer science.
In our initial meeting, I will inquire about course material and request access to online learning platforms (if applicable) to help support students in their learning. ~~
Learning support is not Therapy. Although my approach is informed by a background in mental health, there is a clear distinction between psychotherapy services and education services. Please reach out with any additional questions/concerns about this distinction.
