Meet Our Coaches
You're not picking a service. You're picking a person.
Coaching only works if your student actually likes the adult on the other side of the screen. A kid who's decided this is just one more thing being done to them isn't going to open up, and nothing useful happens until they do.
So we don't assign coaches. You read about them, pick the one who seems like the right match for your family, and book a free consultation with that person directly. If it's not the right fit, you can talk to someone else.
Every coach here uses the same approach — start with self-awareness, build from there, never treat the kid like the problem. But they're different people with different backgrounds, and that difference matters more than families expect.
What a consultation looks like
Thirty minutes on Zoom with the coach you picked. You tell them what's going on with your student, they explain how coaching actually works, and you ask whatever you want to ask.
Whether your child joins is completely up to you. Some parents want to talk freely first without their child in the room, and that's a good reason to come alone. But with older students especially, sitting in on the call can help — it's harder to resist something you got a say in. You know which conversation your family needs.
It's free, and it's not a sales call. Nobody's assessing your child or trying to close you. If coaching isn't the right fit, they'll tell you — and sometimes they'll point you somewhere that is.

The Positive Learning Coaches
Coach Kayci
Founder & Executive Function Coach
Kayci spent years as a school counselor before starting The Positive Learning Coach, which means she's seen this from the inside — how schools actually work, what teachers can and can't do, and why the accommodations on paper don't always show up in the classroom.
She's also a parent, and she coaches the way she'd want someone to coach her own kid: honest about what's hard, never treating a struggling student like a project to fix.
Works With:
• Elementary
• Middle School
• High School
• College + Beyond
Coach Rod
Executive Function Coach
Rod has ADHD, is raising a kid with ADHD, and has spent more than a decade working with young people through sports, STEM, and education. That combination shows up in how he coaches — he's not explaining executive function from the outside.
He's especially good with older students who've gotten tired of adults telling them what to do. They tend to believe him, because he's been there.
Works With:
• High School
• College + Beyond
Coach Julie
Executive Function Coach
Julie spent 35 years as a public school teacher in San Francisco, working with kids and families from a wide range of languages, backgrounds, and cultures. After years of supporting students with ADHD in her own classroom, she turned to coaching to reach families beyond it.
Her sessions are creative and a lot of fun. She uses art, movement, improv, and stories to help kids feel understood, and she works closely with parents so no one feels like they're figuring this out alone.
Works With:
• Elementary
• Middle School
• High School
• College + Beyond
More coaches coming soon!
We're growing, and we're careful about who joins. Every coach here is someone we'd want working with our own kids — which means hiring takes a while.
