My Learning Springboard (MLS) is a unique, boutique, and diversified Educational Consulting Firm. Under the leadership of Brad Hoffman and Faya Hoffman — a husband-and-wife team and both Board Certified Educational Planners (a specialized type of Educational Consultant) and Learning Specialists — My Learning Springboard (MLS) works with learners of all ages who have diverse learning goals.
Our approach caters to a wide range of students: the first grader with reading difficulties; the fourth grader struggling with mathematical concepts; the seventh grader challenged with organizational and study skills; the overwhelmed high school junior in need of a flexible academic coach; or the highly curious learner wanting to explore coding, creative writing, engineering, chemistry, personal finance, or art. No one student profile or need defines us. By design, we grow with families over time, and we’re able to zig or zag in any direction that may be needed.
Here’s how it works:
Our Partnership With Families
All families work closely with our Founders, Brad Hoffman and Faya Hoffman. Together, we help families to navigate and make myriad educational decisions. Because of our decades of work with children and families, we leverage a broad skill set that allows us to seamlessly move in any number of directions with our students and families.
As a faculty, we are masters at assessing and individualizing instruction and strategically mapping out and implementing school planning efforts and instructional programs. Our consultation often includes collaboration with school faculty, private clinicians, or any other professional involved with supporting a student or family.
We support all aspects of teaching and learning from nursery through college and beyond, and we work with all types of neurodiverse learners. Growing with families over time, we’re uniquely positioned to help navigate a variety of pathways. This planning may include navigating a school transition (mainstream, specialized, or therapeutic) or college counseling. Because siblings often have very different learning profiles and needs, we’re often providing different supports for children within the same family, and these supports may well evolve over time.

How It Works: Planning support or consultation
- Use our contact page to make an inquiry or request, which may come from a parent, family member, school professional, or related services professional. Please share some initial details about the issue you’d like to discuss.
- Brad Hoffman or Faya Hoffman will respond to discuss next steps.
- Since we customize each family’s experience based on specific needs, we’ll then organize whatever next steps are appropriate. When organizing academic coaching or test preparation, instruction either takes place at a family’s home or via remote learning, and families choose their preferred teacher(s) based on confirmed skill set, availability, and any other parameters or needs. Brad and Faya help families to manage this decision-making. School planning and college counseling consultation takes place in-person or remotely depending on the circumstances and a family’s preference.
Whatever your need or wonder may be, please don’t hesitate to contact us. An initial planning meeting is usually the best way to get started. These meetings can be 30, 45, or 60 minutes by Zoom, by phone, or in person per a family’s preference. A single planning meeting allows us to talk more substantively about your family’s specific needs, priorities, and goals so that we can determine possible next steps. We’re committed to developing unique solutions for unique learners!
We look forward to hearing from you!
Warm regards,
Brad Hoffman and Faya Hoffman,
