Coaching

Hi, I’m Rachel and I love kids. I have 15 years professional experience which includes: teaching in the public school system, leading groups for at-risk youth, and providing in home aide support for children with special needs. As a teacher I worked in schools which used Art Centered Learning and Inquiry Based Learning frameworks, so I understand the value of art and hands-on learning activities. In my role as group facilitator, I created a curriculum which taught social / emotional skills to at risk youth using creative teaching strategies.

I have experience working with children and youth with special needs, including: learning disabilities, ADHD, ASD, mutism, past trauma, anxiety and depression. I have also provided support and coaching to youth struggling with challenges such as bullying, peer conflict, loneliness, blended families, identity, self-esteem and emotional regulation.

I provide educational support on issues such as: implementing a structure / daily routine to help your child learn at home, structuring academic activities to match your child’s learning style, and teaching / tutoring in select subject area.

I also provide behavioural support on issue such as: teaching your child emotional regulations skills and coping strategies, one-on-one coaching / emotional support for a child struggling with life challenges, and behavior support for parents with special needs.
