How we think, learn, and write influences us and our daily responsibilities and functions. I work with learners of all ages and situations supporting executive functions, writing, and reading comprehension online.

On-Line Instruction
Why is it so effective? Online instruction is not a teacher lecturing or explaining on Zoom. I require mutual live, working documents, provide slide shows with visual supports, and use the best, online, interactive activities.
Distractions are minimized. The student’s focus is centered on our mutual document and screen. I see their screen and every key-stroke.
Writing Production increases because the student gets my supporting prompts, comments, questions, and visuals in our Google or Microsoft One document.
Writing Repetition is exponentially increased. I coach the student to write many repetitions or versions of sentences, thesis statements, topic sentences, paragraphs, essays, and more.
Privacy optimizes student confidence for asking questions, discussing, and reading aloud.
Interactive learning sites, activities, and quizzes are used together.
Old School handwriting and drawing are done through my document camera and tablet drawing software.
I procure the student’s current book so that we can read and annotate in it together.
Writing
It is becoming more important as AI emerges with programs that “write,” but without personal discernment or creativity. Now is the time for all learners to learn to write better, . . . and better.
Executive Function Strategies. How well do you know your brain? Are you a Procrastinator? When are you the most productive, or the least productive? Know thyself, and learn the time management and work process methods that work for you.
