Laura Becton, MA

I have a master’s degree in education from Teachers College, Columbia University and post-graduate training in special education from NYU and Bank Street College. I received specialized training in the Orton Gillingham approach to reading instruction and have been tutoring children since 1997. I began my career as a classroom teacher and taught third and fourth grades and eventually became a learning specialist.  I have worked in both traditional and progressive schools in New York City. This background, coupled with my passion to meet children where they are and bring them to the next level, inspires my work with children, teachers, and parents to meet all aspects of learning goals.

I’ve run the New York City Marathon and have seen two “perfect” Major League Baseball games.

in my spare time

I enjoy cooking, hiking, movies, and traveling with my family.

My strengths have always been my abilities to listen, problem solve and organize. These combined with a strong education, including a Master of Education from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, drew me to the field of Executive Function Coaching. Although my most important qualification might be that I am the Mom of twin boys who are creative and wonderful and both struggle with Executive Function challenges. I have seen a lot and survived; the boys have thrived. My goal as an EF Coach is to generate the same sweet smiles from organizational success that I do with my warm chocolate chip cookies.

I was a founder of my College's Freshman Outdoor Program many, many years ago.

Books and baking are passions.  There is always something fresh baked in my house.
