My Learning Springboard specializes in educational problem solving and school planning for 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 seeking enrichment teaching or independent study. Here’s how it works.

All families work closely with our leadership team, which includes Brad Hoffman, M.S.Ed and Faya Hoffman, M.A., both of whom are Board Certified Educational Planners and Learning Specialists. Together, we help families to navigate and make myriad educational decisions.

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 learning specialists, administrators, school counselors, psychologists, or any other professional involved with supporting a student or family.

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.

We support all aspects of teaching and learning from nursery through college and beyond, including students and young adults with learning challenges, emotional challenges, and special needs. We grow with our students and families over time helping to navigate whichever path is necessary, which may include navigating a school transition (mainstream, specialized, or therapeutic). 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.

Our services include but are not limited to: admissions consulting and school planning, academic coaching (remediation, enrichment, and subject-matter expertise), executive function coaching, test preparation, and special education advocacy.

How it works to plan support or consultation:

1. 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.
2. Brad Hoffman or Faya Hoffman will respond to discuss next steps.
3. 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.
