At MyLifeLab, we teach kids how to think critically and how to write with a clarity that is infused with their unique voices. We do so by tailoring lessons to each student's academic and social-emotional needs and strengths. We support them with each step of the writing process with clear and straightforward evidenced-based practices that allow them to feel calm and in control as they complete assignments that often feel overwhelming and complicated.
We teach students without judgment, equipping them with tangible writing skills that can be applied across subject areas.
We teach kids concrete skills that translate to visible results.
We teach kids how to write effectively using and preserving their unique voices so they feel pride in themselves when they improve their grades and gain entrance to colleges and / or private high schools.
We provide a learning environment that welcomes mistakes and honors vulnerability as being integral components of genuine learning and skill-building.
Rather than assembling pruned and inauthentic essays, we work with children to translate their true selves into carefully-crafted college and high school admissions applications that highlight character and integrity.
Holding degrees from Harvard, UCLA and Berkeley, Susanna has spent almost two decades in the field of education, including as a teacher in Boston and LA, an educational program coordinator, and a professional development/graduate-level course writer and instructor for other teachers.
She fell in love with California when she was 17 years old, moving across the country to complete a BA in History at Cal.
She completed her master’s thesis entitled “Meeting Absurdity with Love: Co-Creating Caring Relationships with ‘Disengaged’ Students Through Informal Dialogue,” while at UCLA’s distinguished Teacher Education Program where she was the recipient of several fellowships and scholarships.
In recognition of service to her hometown of Boston, the Harvard Club of Boston awarded her a scholarship to complete her master’s degree in Risk and Prevention at Harvard University. While a Harvard student, Susanna interned with the Boston Children’s Hospital Neighborhood Partnership, where she provided prevention and promotion services in order to guide and counsel students in need of academic, college, career, and social/emotional support, while also coaching teachers in providing these services to their students.
In all of her work, Susanna honors her students’ unique strengths and needs. As a tutor, teacher and counselor, she emphasizes a humanizing approach that nurtures their individual selves while involving the families who know their children best.
