Who We Are
I'm Linda
Welcome to Motivation Matters Tutor-Coaching
Ours is a story of two educators who became obsessed with finding a better way for people of all ages to achieve.
From students to professionals to lifelong learners, we refused to accept the status quo, where the philosophy was “make it, or break it.”
Many families think of learning as something students either “get” or “don’t get.”
When students struggle, the default solution is tutoring — more explanation, more practice, more time. But tutoring was built for yesterday’s problems, not today’s learners. [Link to Old Fashioned Tutoring Page]
Students today face a different world: constant distractions, rising pressures, complex assignments, shifting expectations, and a school system that rarely teaches the inner game of learning.
Many professionals and lifelong learners see success as can or can’t achieve, based on past experiences.
When they struggle, they default to past approaches hoping for new results. Some seek quick solutions from AI, a blog, or a YouTube video. At best, these create limited progress with more short-term gains than real success.
Our world of hyper-information is not easy to navigate. And old methods and makeshift solutions rarely work for today’s realities.
At Motivation Matters Tutor-Coaching, we exist because students, professionals and lifelong learners deserve more than quick fixes. They deserve a way of working that efficiently transforms how they work into what they need and want.
We are more than tutors. We are learning specialists who diagnose, prescribe, and coach the skills that make success, confidence, and transformation possible. Our work is grounded in decades of research, 80+ years of combined teaching experience, and a deep understanding of how the brain learns, remembers, and performs.
We created the IN-Powered© approach because we saw the same pattern again and again. Frustrations and disappointing results weren’t due to a lack of intelligence. They could be traced directly to the working systems that didn’t produce the needed
- motivation
- focus
- organization
- comprehension
- thinking
- memory
So, we built one.
The IN-Powered© approach addresses the thinking behind every subject, every assignment, every task, and every challenge.
We are a boutique business, because transformation requires depth, not volume. So, we work one-on-one with a limited number of clients. Every session …
- is individualized
- is led by a Ph.D. tutor-coach
- builds the inner game of success
The IN-Powered© approach is a lifelong skillset that changes everything.
At Motivation Matters Tutor-Coaching
We Believe that everyone can excel.
We Believe motivation is the engine of all effort and it’s learnable.
We Believe Confidence is built, not wished for.
We Believe people struggle because they lack a system, not intelligence.
We Believe it is our job to study, research, and continually refine what we do.
We are here to change the way students, professionals and lifelong learners achieve, forever.
