About Yael
My journey as an educator and parent intersected over a decade ago, shaping a unique perspective on how children learn and thrive. With a master’s degree in education, Maryland teaching certification, and over 20 years of experience as both a classroom teacher and learning specialist, I bring deep expertise to my work.
As a parent myself, I understand firsthand the challenges, joys, and complexities of raising children. This dual perspective allows me to connect meaningfully with students, parents, and educators alike. To deepen this work, I earned a certificate in life and parent coaching, blending evidence-based strategies with compassionate, practical support. These experiences form the foundation of the services I offer-private tutoring, instructional coaching, and parent coaching-each designed to help children and families grow with confidence and connection.
My Mission
I am committed to bridging the critical connections between home, school, and community. By combining my professional training with the invaluable insights gained through parenthood, I provide a holistic support system that fosters growth, confidence, and success for children and families.
My Approach
Throughout my career, I have trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach and have worked extensively with students facing diverse learning challenges, including dyslexia, ADHD, and executive function difficulties. I also hold a certificate in parent coaching, allowing me to support families in navigating academic struggles, behavioral challenges, and home routines with greater confidence and clarity.
My work extends beyond the student—I empower parents with strategies to create supportive learning environments at home, strengthen communication with their child’s school, and build routines that foster independence and success.
