Hello!
My name is Nicole Ludwig, and I bring over 25 years of experience in education, along with a passion for student wellness, to my work as an academic coach. I help students reach their academic goals while also building the emotional resilience, healthy habits, and confidence they need to succeed in and out of the classroom. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and grounded in the belief that learning should support the whole child—mind, body, and heart.
I know, first-hand, the pressure a child can place on themself to meet expectations from the world around them. Growing up, I used to worry about being a “straight-A student” to the point of physical exhaustion and social isolation. I believed I was not worthy unless I fulfilled each of the expectations that the people in my world put on me. I have since learned how distorted my view of the world and myself has been, and ways to break free from these expectations and cultivate an identity I am proud of. Through these experiences, and the many years I have worked alongside students to encourage and empower them, I have developed methodologies that I believe provides support in a way that allows students to build their own identities alongside their academic success. Because academic success isn’t just about test scores—it’s about confidence, resilience, and balance.
I am always working on ways to provide more compassion and support to students and their families as they navigate life academically and beyond, and I would love the opportunity to serve and support your family. Shoot me a message so we can develop a plan to do just that!
