Darren Lanning
Board-Certified Educational Therapist and Academic Coach
Helping students of all ages learn how to love learning.
Math and sciences are my expertise; humanities are my passion.
The Guy
former: teacher
current: educational therapist, subject matter expert, coach, cheerleader
forever: nerd.
The Approach
Darren works with students of all ages in a 1-on-1 setting, tailoring sessions to individual needs. Students collaborate with Darren on general study skills and habits, executive functioning techniques, specific subject matter, or techniques for non-intuitive academic assessments (the all-too-annoying “standardized tests”).
All engagements typically include 4 phases that can span across varying timelines:
Onboarding & Diagnostics
Learning Roadmap Co-Creation
Ongoing Sessions & Practice
Self-Reliance Toolkit Development & Maintenance

The Results
“My daughter needed immediate help in Algebra 2. She was getting a "C" and quickly fell behind. We hired Darren, and within a few weeks, she was getting A's on her tests. Darren genuinely cares about helping students succeed. He understands what it takes to encourage teens to give their best effort, and gives them the confidence to keep working hard, even when they think they are going to fail. Three years later, and Darren still works with both my kids on a regular basis. I don't know how they would have succeeded in their high school math classes without him. The best part, he keeps me updated on their progress, working with me as a partner to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.”
