About Tammy

As an OCT-certified teacher with 20 years of classroom experience, a Master’s Degree in Education (M.S.Ed.), and Specialist qualifications in Special Education, I offer a unique dual approach: targeted student coaching paired with expert parent advocacy. While traditional tutors focus solely on homework and worksheets, I bridge the gap between home and school. I combine high-impact student support with the insider knowledge parents need to navigate the school system effectively and confidently.

DEDICATED PARENT ADVOCACY & NAVIGATION IEP & Assessment Decoding: I translate complex psychoeducational assessments and Individual Education Plans into clear, actionable, parent-friendly strategies.

School Meeting Preparation: I help you prepare for IPRCs, teacher conferences, and accommodation reviews, equipping you with the right questions, terminology, and strategy to secure the support your child deserves.

Insider Systemic Knowledge: With two decades inside Ontario schools, I know how school teams operate, which accommodations are most effective, and how to foster positive, productive collaboration with school staff.

1-ON-1 STUDENT COACHING (Grades 1–10)

Executive Functioning: Practical systems for organization, time management, task initiation, and focus.

Academic Confidence: Tailored skill-building in reading, writing, and math aligned with their unique learning profile.

Self-Advocacy: Teaching students how to understand their own strengths, use their accommodations, and take ownership of their learning. Whether your child needs direct academic coaching or you need an experienced educational consultant in your corner to navigate the Special Education process, my goal is to eliminate the stress and build a clear path forward for your family.

About the lesson

WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION

Every session is tailored to the individual needs of your student or family:

For Students: We focus on active skill-building, executive functioning systems (time management, organization, task initiation), and boosting academic confidence in reading, writing, and math. I break down complex classroom expectations into manageable steps.

For Parents: We use consultation time to review IEP drafts, analyze school communication, analyze psychoeducational recommendations, and build a strategic advocacy plan for your next school board or teacher meeting.

Format: 100% online via Zoom or Google Meet. All materials and meeting notes are shared directly after each session.

Ms. Aucoin helped our daughter tremendously. Being a special education teacher, we really appreciated the expertise she brought to the table with regard to our daughter’s learning disability. She helped give her the tools she needed to be successful in the classroom, everything from time management strategies to using humor to put her at ease when learning tricky concepts. Definitely recommend Tammy if your child needs a little academic boost or even if parents need help navigating the IPRC process.
