Creative coaching for imaginative teens

Main Character is an arts program offering one-on-one coaching for creative adolescents, with a particular focus on supporting teens with ADHD and autism. I specialize in language arts and storytelling-based communication, and also coach interdisciplinary arts and core high-school subjects. I also lead small-group workshops for groups of students or educators. My program welcomes creative, college-bound teens seeking enrichment, whether or not they have a formal diagnosis.

What does Main Character Offer?

One-on-one coaching centered on imagination, voice, and storytelling. Primary areas include creative writing, podcasting, short films, and zine-making.

Traditional tutoring across middle and high school subjects, with an emphasis on clarity, confidence, and skill-building.

Customizable, in-person analog arts workshops for schools and learning communities, designed to spark creativity and deep engagement.

Particular experience working with students with ADHD, language-disorders, and autism. I also work with student athletes, who have the toughest schedule.

WHY ART?

I survived my teen years thanks to an arts practice. The arts helped me see a path for myself. Curiosity I’d built through nurturing my creative side made the college transition go smoothly, and I immediately thrived in some tough classes.
