Why Students Struggle
Not every child fits into the same box. Some simply need additional support for the traditional classroom, while others need something more flexible and individualized. When support matches the child, growth follows.
Why Parents Feel Stuck
Not every family feels like they have real choices when it comes to their child’s education. Cost, limited local options, and the fear of navigating something alone can make parents feel stuck. Many want something better for their child- they’re just not sure where to begin.

How it Works
I start with a simple intake to understand your child, your goals, and the level of support you need.
A personalized weekly plan is created—tailored to your child and your family’s schedule and involvement.
Families follow the ILP at home with clear direction, while I provide support, check-ins, and guidance throughout the week.
Students participate in hands-on, collaborative learning days that bring their learning to life.
Why Choose Alongside Learning
About Me
I started Alongside Learning to create something different—something more personalized, more thoughtful, and more aligned with how kids actually learn.
My background in teaching, learning design, and special education allows me to look at the whole child. Not just what they’re learning, but how they learn best and what kind of environment helps them succeed.
From there, I build individualized learning plans that guide both the student and the parent, creating structure, clarity, and confidence in the learning process.
Because when learning is designed for the child, everything changes.
