"Nicole understands the needs of children. She is very compassionate so she has a deeper connection with children like me. She is inspiring and a good communicator.” -16 year old
Hello!
I'm so glad you're here!
I'm Nicole Connell, an Educational Therapist and Mentor.
Although some kids prefer to call me their personal learning fairy goddess mother :)
I design educational programs to help children:
My goal is to support each child as a unique individual—encouraging both their personal growth and their readiness for an ever-changing world.
At the core, I support children in being seen for who they are, honored for their uniqueness, and supported in their growth.
To me, true education is about more than just academic achievement; it's about attuning to the needs of the whole child, nurturing each child's unique gifts and helping children to not just learn well but be well.
My love of kids and desire to help them thrive led me to get a Bachelor’s Degree in human development, a Master’s Degree in education with a thesis on self-compassion and a certificate in educational therapy. I draw upon my background as a day camp counselor and director, teacher, and educational therapist to create nurturing, transformative and fun experiences for the children and teens that I work with.
I’m deeply passionate about personalized, customized learning because traditional schooling doesn’t work for every child. There’s a special magic that happens when kids are not only supported through their challenges but also recognized for their unique brilliance.
I greatly value creativity, empowerment, co-creation, empathy, innovation, design thinking and fun. I bring all of this into my work which creates unique educational experiences where kids feel seen, heard, supported and excited to work with me.
I love what I do and am so grateful to have the opportunity to support and be a constant source of encouragement for so many amazing children and teens!

Who Do I Work With?
I provide unique educational experiences and support for families who want something different for their child.
The work I provide is deeply holistic and co-created with children to meet their unique needs.
I specialize in working with kids and teens who learn best outside the box. I also specialize in working with preteen and teenage girls who have learning differences and struggle with their mental health.
I am also the creator of Girls Shine Bright and mentor pre-teen and teen girls who want to build confidence and feel supported while navigating the many transitions of adolescence.
If your child is struggling in school or with a learning difference and you are seeking deep support for your child, take a look at some of my articles HERE, and if you are called to learn how we may be able to potentially work together to support your child in getting the support he or she needs to truly learn and succeed – just as they are – then please contact me to schedule a time for us to talk.
If your child is transitioning out of the traditional school system or you are already homeschooling and you're seeking support, check out my personalized education page. If you would like to learn more about how I can help your child, then please contact me to schedule a time for us to talk.
If you have a daughter who is wanting to explore more leadership and holistic development of herself as a young woman, check out my Mentoring work and Girls Shine Bright programs. If you are called to learn how we may be able to potentially work together to support your child, then please contact me to schedule a time for us to talk.
