Julie Hughes has been educating students for over 20 years as a classroom teacher, missionary, homeschool mom, and educational therapist.  She has seen many students struggle, becoming frustrated, withdrawn, or angry. Believing that there had to be a way to help these students move forward, Julie sought research-based cognitive therapies that would help develop the underlying cognitive functions needed for successful learning.  She delights in seeing student’s lives transformed as they develop confidence and competence.

Julie works in her Leesburg office and via Skype.
