Cheryl Grens

Cheryl Grens supports adolescents and adults as a learning specialist and executive functioning coach. Working within a one-on-one coaching format, Cheryl helps her clients “crack the code” on things like time management, planning, organization, task initiation and completion, and analysis of work habits. Cheryl provides each of her clients with the tools to improve their grades and performance, develop confidence to complete tasks on time and meet expectations. Her approach involves fostering the increased self-awareness needed to recognize how they work best, while bringing creativity toward discovering new ways to approach a problem. Through individualized strategies and practice, Cheryl believes that all of her clients have the ability to develop new habits and improve their performance.
