Welcome to a Different Kind of Support

📚 College and university can be overwhelming—especially when you process the world differently. If you've ever felt like school wasn't made for your brain, you're not wrong. The good news? You’re not alone, and you’re not the problem.


I'm Kalyn, a specialized tutor and academic coach. I work with students aged 17 and older with accessibility needs —especially those with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, language based learning disabilities, or learning differences —who want practical tools, honest support, and a calmer way to navigate school. 


My approach is not just academic -it's about connection and care, always. 

✨ This is human-centered tutoring, rooted in curiosity, compassion, and deep respect—especially for beautifully busy minds.


Whether you need help managing your schedule, getting started on assignments, building better study habits, or simply not spiralling when you fall behind—I'm here to help, without judgment or pressure. 


Let’s find what works for you.
