Why choose us?
I'm so glad you asked! We're educators with neurodivergency and learning disabilities who know the pressures and difficulties of these differences popping up in all areas of our lives. We're imperfectly perfect, learning the skills to manage our differences, without erasing who we are at the core. We carry and shift this acceptance into our 1:1 or 5:1 tutoring sessions where masking isn't allowed and we skill-build while tackling homework and larger assignments.
For our Educational Advocacy and Targeted Learning Approach, we understand the scores on the testing, how they interact, and if they indicate a learning disability. We can then use our knowledge to counter those test result narratives in a collaborative manner to try and secure the necessary supports. While we're working with you on securing the necessary school supports, we provide similar resources in a 1:1 encouraging and enriching environment.
"Michelle is incredible and worth every penny we invested in her to help our son succeed."

"I can’t say enough wonderful things about Michelle. From the very first session, she established an immediate and genuine connection with my son. She took the time to truly listen, build rapport, and earn his trust. Michelle has a rare gift for making my son feel genuinely understood.
She doesn’t just teach executive functioning skills or academics, she builds confidence. Michelle is patient, compassionate, and exceptionally skilled at meeting students where they are. We couldn’t recommend her more highly."
Amanda - Parent of a Junior
"Michelle is incredible in her ability to meet every learner where they are, and advocating for the best interest of the student. I can personally attest to her advocacy with my own children in realms beyond academics as well, ensuring inclusion and success in extra curricular activities beneficial to the whole child. Our children undoubtedly have been better off with her as their champion!."
Kate - Parent of teenagers
"Michelle innately knew what my son needed and was able to adapt and adjust the lessons to meet his needs - without making him feel 'less than'."
Parent of 17 year old
"I can't say enough about how much Michelle has helped our daughter in several aspects. Her ability to meet the needs of ADHD kids continues to astound us.."
Paul - Parent of an 8th grader
"Somehow, Michelle was able to get our school avoidant preteen to a point where she was able to go back."
Parent of an 8th grader
"Michelle Lynds is the most AMAZING tutor/coach/person that I have ever known! When my honor roll daughter was struggling in school and the school system was failing her and our family, Michelle entered our lives. She has given us tools to help our daughter re-enter school, coached mom and dad extensively so we know our rights in a very complicated educational system, and has just been the biggest cheerleader and support to our extremely gifted child.
If your child is struggling, call Michelle. It will be the most important call you will ever make!!!!!!"
Ann - Parent of an 8th grader
