Sarah Kornfeld
Every student learns differently. Sarah Kornfeld draws on more than 20 years of educational experience, including work with gifted students, neurodivergent learners, and students with learning differences, to help students develop practical strategies for managing school and becoming more independent learners.
Together, we build personalized systems for organization, planning, time management, prioritization, and follow-through. Students learn to recognize what helps them work best, manage overwhelm, get started, and recover when things don't go to plan.
Depending on the student's age and goals, sessions may also incorporate reading, writing, personal statements, confidence-building, self-advocacy, and simple mindfulness practices.
The aim is to help each student develop a way of working that makes sense for them—and the confidence and skills to use it independently.
