    For parents seeking advice for facilitating their child's learning
  description: >
    After I have worked with your student for a few sessions, you may request a
    Parent Consultation during which I will discuss the strengths and areas for
    improvement I have seen in your child and the ways you may be able to help.
    All parents want to help their children succeed, but sometimes the way we
    offer that assistance is not the way children want to receive it. Learn how
    to meet your child where they are and support them in ways which resonate
    with their unique needs. These sessions are not tell-alls of what your
    student and I discuss during our sessions, as I feel that trust is central
    to successful tutoring relationships.
