(general educations and special education) and administrator with 20 years of classroom instructional
and supervisory experience. Noelle has experience working with children from pre-k - the collegiate
level, and has worked closely with children in public, private, and specialized school settings. She
has
worked in New York City and Westchester County, where she has implemented personalized instruction in
order for her students to reach their maximum potential. She is passionate about focusing on the whole
child, and truly understands that every child is unique with strengths to share with the world. Her
approach to academic. coaching goes beyond the classroom. She focuses on skillsets that will stay with
her clients through college and beyond. In being a mother, she understands the demands of all things
life, for both you and your child. Deadlines, activities, meetings, obligations, sports, and a
bustling
social calendar, can make it difficult to prioritize the time we have. Her custom designed program was
created with your family at the center, so that you can get back to spending time together and enjoy
the
moments that matter.

adolescence and early adulthood, while keeping the focus on completing tasks and deadlines. His coding
background is a true asset to L&V, as he has a complex understanding of courses and assignments where
technology is at the center. He is a girl dad, who easily remembers the dynamics of being a young man
mapping out their future.
