Certified Learning Success Coach

  • Academic achievement
  • Stress-free learning
  • The confident learner inside your frustrated student

I work with students to unlock:

I specialize in building students'
confidence and skills in academics,
as well as helping students learn to
learn. Unlike tutors who focus
mainly on content and teachers
who are limited by policies, time,
and curriculum, I am free to design
a plan that meets my students
exactly where they are and
addresses the needs

of the whole child. I believe every
child has unlimited potential, and it
is my mission to help them unlock
that potential and find success in
school and beyond.

What is Learning Success Coaching?

Not a Tutor, More than a Teacher!

the student as a
learner and a
person first

Connection

Providing support in
executive functioning,
mindset, and learning
to learn

Processes

students’ learning while
providing them new

“Highly recommend Leslie w/ Learning Unlocked. I have a son in middle school who has struggled since early elementary. I did 1.5 years at Kumon, I hired a HCPS teacher to come to our house for private tutoring & we did months at Huntington and none of that seemed to make a difference. I don’t mean to say anything bad about those options but they didn’t work for us. Learning Unlocked is a different approach, it’s a more personalized program where Leslie gets to know the student to understand how they learn, since all kids are different, then she’s able to work with them based on how they learn. This approach has been very successful for my son whereas the other approaches seem to attempt to fix a problem without understanding why there’s a problem.” - Parent of an 8th grade student

Testimonials

Just a few of the amazing success stories from families I have worked with:

“Leslie has been a game changer for my daughter. We have been working with her
for three months now, specifically focusing on math learning skills, and my
daughter has improved and is consistently earning A’s, B’s and even 100% on a
recent classroom test. Not only have her skills improved, but her confidence as
well. She is learning how she learns best and that is a skill that she has not been
able learn in her classroom, even with the help she receives through her IEP. We
are so grateful for all of the teachers and staff at her school for what they do, but
Leslie joining our daughter’s team has made significant improvements in her overall
experience when she is in the classroom! After her sessions with Leslie, she comes
out beaming with pride over her accomplishments.” - Parent of 4th grade student


“I love misssss Leslie! She is starting to help me with my multiplication facts and I can’t wait to learn them.”- 4th grade student
