Boulder Academic Coaching offers executive function coaching, mentoring, and content-specific tutoring. I focus on helping students develop organizational strategies, stress management skills, as well as tools necessary for self-advocacy. BAC is a small local start-up helping students develop self-confidence, reduce anxiety surrounding school work, and learn what success means for them, in the academic world and beyond.

Maria is a passionate, enthusiastic educator, coach, and mentor. Maria’s approach focuses on building a relationship with the learner in order to create trust and buy-in. Just like a sports coach, as an academic coach, Maria helps learners to be accountable to their goals while practicing developing the skills and tools necessary to achieve them. Maria believes that school is just one dimension of learning. While school may be a finite endeavor, learning is a life-long one.
After receiving a Master’s degree in education, Maria taught in the Boulder Valley School District for a number of years. In embarking on a more personalized approach to helping learners navigate academic and life challenges, Maria finds great fulfillment in coaching young people one on one and helping each individual on their best personal trajectory, in the academic realm and beyond.
