academic coaching
Thinking Studio provides a structured environment and relationship-based instruction, for a relaxed, respectful learning experience focused on confidence, comprehension, and growth. We offer coaching and consulting for elementary-age learners, and free reading support for adults.
elementary-age
Coaching sessions offer individualized, ongoing academic support grounded in research-based teaching practices. Sessions balance clear learning goals with respect for child development and use hands-on materials to support active thinking and understanding. Families may choose to focus on literacy or math during each session.
Consulting sessions bring children and caregivers together to support families navigating home-based or alternative learning paths. Sessions are shaped by your questions and goals and may include assessment, curricular guidance, planning, and collaborative problem-solving.
As a Washington State–licensed K–8 teacher, Erika can provide homeschooling families with documentation for annual progress reports and assessments.
adult reading
Adult Reading sessions are free and designed for emergent readers—adults with limited or developing reading skills who may not have had access to adequate literacy instruction earlier in life. This service supports individuals seeking greater confidence and independence in reading for personal, professional, or everyday needs.
