Hi! I'm Tricia Underwood
I was not so different in high school and college from the students I now serve. "Smart, but scattered." Big ideas without the belief in my abilities or organizational strategies to match. A sensitive, deeply caring spirit that yearned for the type of depth and meaning that the traditional factory-model high school curriculum did not provide.
After receiving a Masters in Teaching Secondary Language Arts from Tufts University, I started teaching high school students The more I taught, the more my reputation for supporting students who did not fit the traditional school mold grew and I found my calling.
I have worked to hone an effective toolbox of strategies that work for students, parents, and teachers as a teacher and Learning Specialist in a variety of schools for over 20 years. My work unlocks and protects students' strengths and spirits as they move through challenges in school. I especially love to work with unique students who do not fit the status quo and am obsessed with distilling the best of research and evidence-based practices that free human potential. I am so truly grateful to impact more and more students to live their free-est, happiest lives now and in their bright futures.
