"They say middle school is all about survival, but with Christine’s coaching, my daughter is actually thriving! Transitioning from an international school in Egypt to a US middle school could have been a pre-teen nightmare, but Christine transformed it into an opportunity for my daughter to learn valuable organizational and perseverance skills. As a kid with ADHD who struggles with executive functioning, Christine didn't just help her stay on top of day-to-day tasks, she also helped her find her focus and confidence; we are so grateful for the 'mental toolkit' she’s built for our daughter. Their weekly check-ins have been integral to not only my daughter’s success in the classroom, but also in navigating the rough waters of adolescence. As parents, we are so lucky to have Christine on our team!"
"My son has a learning disability and without her guidance, I truly don’t think [he] would have graduated from high school. My son has a difficult time focusing but I would often overhear [Christine] ....she was always so patient and kind. She always found a way to keep the topic interesting enough to draw him back when he started to lose focus."
"[Our daughter] enjoyed her time with you and your work together gives us a common vocabulary and a shared understanding around her time management in the future. Very important!"
"We were so happy that Christine was able to work with [our daughter]. During each session, she learned a new skill to help her to organize her homework space, initiate tasks or create a plan to better manage her time. Christine built rapport with [our daughter] very quickly and helped her to reflect on what she needed to work on. Together they created a plan that fit {our daughter’s] learning style and was built on strategies that both addressed areas of improvement but were also easily implemented. Christine was very communicative with my husband and I, and we always knew what she and [our daughter] were working on and how we could support the plan. I would highly recommend working with Christine!"
"I have recommended you to several people - with glowing recommendations - seeking similar support for their child. Anyone who seeks to find this type of external support to their children would be well served in working with Christine Spilker."
"The planning and customization you put together for our child is producing tangible results."
"Our communication and engagement with you is reliable and detailed. I particularly appreciate how you reference your planning materials and curriculum which helps to point to resources for ourselves."
