For students and families looking for instruction built around how each mind actually learns.
Not every curriculum — and not every classroom — is designed to meet that. We offer online courses and one-on-one coaching for K–12 students, homeschooling families, and college applicants who want instruction that starts where the student actually is, rather than where a standardized program assumes they should be.
We bring the same commitments to this work that we bring to everything at Lucida: deep respect for how each mind learns, genuine expertise in neurodiversity-affirming strategies, and the practitioner's perspective of people who have been writers and learners themselves.
We don't remediate. We build on what each student already knows how to do — and we help them find the structures that let their thinking become writing.
Engaging, rigorous online English courses for homeschooling families, designed to develop reading, writing, critical thinking, and literary analysis in a flexible, student-centered environment. Courses are designed with attention to diverse learning styles and can be adapted to meet individual students' needs.
Online Social Studies courses for homeschooling families, developing historical thinking, civic literacy, research skills, and the ability to understand and analyze the world students are growing up in. Taught with the same commitment to accessibility and student-centered learning that runs through all of Lucida's work.
One-on-one coaching for high school students working on college application essays. We help students find their genuine voice, identify the stories and ideas that are most authentically theirs, and write essays that do justice to who they actually are — not who they think admissions committees want them to be.
Individualized writing coaching for K–12 students whose neurodivergence shapes how they approach writing tasks. We don't remediate. We build on what each student already knows how to do — finding the structures and strategies that work for their particular mind.
Support for students developing the organizational, planning, and self-regulation skills that academic work requires — with particular attention to the strategies that work for neurodivergent learners.
We work with students and families online. Our courses are designed to be flexible and can be adapted to individual schedules and learning needs. One-on-one coaching is available on an ongoing basis or for specific projects — including college application season.
Every student engagement begins with a conversation with the student and, where appropriate, their family. We want to understand how each student works before we begin working with them.
