Re: What Does An Educational Therapist Do?
Your teen sounds a lot like mine. He struggled with school
and has terrible social skills. We also looked at Orion and
Springstone (when he was younger) but decided on a
mainstream school. He was getting Bs and Cs and although
that may be fine for some but not for him - he tested in the
very gifted range. A friend recommended Nancy Chin at Step
By Step. She was able to get him organized, have him do his
homework AND turn it in. Once this happened consistently,
his grades shot up to As. He is now enjoying school, getting
along with his teachers, and a much happier person. I highly
recommend Nancy her website is www.stepbystep4success.com .

Re: Educational Therapist or ''coach'' for middle schooler
Nancy Chin of Step By Step is absolutely the
answer to your prayers. My third-grader has tested as
gifted but also has some serious problems with
organization, efficiency, time-management, effectiveness,
and it goes on and on. He doesn't let me help him at all
with his homework (''It's none of your business, Mommy'').
And, let's just say that he has inherited his ''issues''
from his father from whom he does accept help. He had
never finished a homework assignment on his own, ever,
until he began with Nancy just five weeks ago. Nancy knew
immediately how to motivate him; connected with him on a
personal level; moved slowly; and has already achieved
amazing results. By the third session (once a week for an
hour), he was completing his homework assignments on his
own, and they were almost perfect when his father checked
them over for correctness and completeness. She also has
a beautiful office above Market Hall in Rockridge; only
charges $70 an hour (a total bargain for what she has
achieved in such a short time) and calls my son during the
middle of every week to check in with him. She is the
sweetest, nicest, and MOST EFFECTIVE academic coach for
the issues your 13-year-old is having. I am sure you
won’t be anything but 100% happy with the results she can
achieve with your daughter.
