Frequently Asked Question

What does an educational consultant do?

An educational consultant helps students, families, and educators navigate the learning journey. That may include identifying a child’s strengths and challenges, recommending strategies and resources, supporting school collaboration, or guiding educators in best practices. The goal is always to make learning more accessible, effective, and meaningful.

Who do you work with?

Dr. Tuzzolo personally responds to every initial inquiry and will likely remain your primary point of contact throughout the process. If additional professionals are invited to support your case, this will be discussed with you in advance and only pursued with your full agreement.

How do I know if I could benefit from a consultant?

If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or looking for fresh ideas and guidance, that’s usually the right time. Whether it’s a student struggling with learning differences, a family needing clarity on next steps, or a teacher seeking strategies for a diverse classroom, consulting can provide direction and relief.

What ages or grade levels do you support?

We work with learners of all ages ranging from early childhood through high school, as well as the educators who serve them.

What’s the difference between consulting and tutoring?

Tutoring focuses on direct instruction in a specific subject. Consulting takes a broader view and supports students by identifying learning needs, setting goals, building strategies, and helping families and educators create a plan for success.

How does the process work?

It usually begins with a conversation to understand your needs. From there, we gather background information, outline goals, and create a personalized plan. Depending on the situation, that might mean one-time guidance or ongoing support.

Do you meet virtually or in person?

Both! We offer flexible options to meet families and schools where they are, whether that’s in person, online, or a combination of the two.

How do you collaborate with schools and teachers?

We believe the best outcomes happen when families and educators work as a team. We can join meetings, provide recommendations, or share resources in ways that complement the existing school staff, not replace them.

What kinds of challenges do you specialize in?

We support a wide range of learning differences such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and executive functioning challenges. Every learner is unique, and we tailor our approach to fit the situation.

How much does it cost?

Costs vary depending on the type of service (family support, school consultation, training, etc.). We’re happy to discuss options during an initial conversation so you know exactly what to expect.

What outcomes should I expect?

Our work is focused on clarity and growth. Families often leave with a clearer plan and new strategies to support their child. Educators gain tools, resources, and confidence to reach more learners effectively.
