PREPARE YOUR CHILD'S BRAIN FOR LEARNING
Because learning gets easier when the brain is ready.
Tutoring focuses on academics. Interventions focus on behavior. I focus on the brain skills underneath the struggle. Parents often come to me saying:
"My child won't focus."
"My child knows the answer but can't explain it."
"My child gets overwhelmed."
"My child struggles to get started."
"My child forgets everything."
"My child melts down during school."
Instead of asking, "How do we get better behavior?" I ask: "What brain skill is making this task difficult?" Because when we strengthen the underlying skill, learning often becomes easier.
What Sets Us Apart
About Makayla
Brain Coach | Neurodevelopment Educator | Founder of BrainPassion
I help parents understand the brain skills behind learning, focus, emotional regulation, executive functioning, and behavior.
My background is in education, neurodevelopment, ADHD, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and brain-based learning.
I am also neurodivergent myself. Much of my work was inspired by my own learning journey and my desire to help families discover that many struggles are not caused by laziness, defiance, or lack of intelligence — but by underdeveloped brain skills that can be strengthened with the right support.
My role is not to diagnose. My role is to help families understand their child's brain and provide practical strategies, exercises, and coaching that support learning success.
Meet Nixon
Diagnosed with ADHD and homeschooled, Nixon struggled with task initiation, focus, and completing academic tasks. Through brain-based exercises and movement activities, Nixon became more regulated, focused, and capable. His family now understands how his brain learns best and has the tools to support him confidently.
