About Schurman's Skills for Success

​

My name is Linda Schurman.  I am the sole owner of Schurman’s Skills for Success LLC   I have spent the last 40 years teaching and counseling students in grades 5th-8th.  I have worked with many students on executive function skills and study skills.  Helping students be the best they can be and achieve not only academically but in life is a great passion of mine.  I have left the school setting so I can give individual time to students.

I have completed 40 hours of training with JST as well as received certification as a Board Certified Coach.

I realize that many students don’t reach their full potential because they don’t have the necessary skills. Students, whether diagnosed with ADHD or not, may need help with executive functioning skills which can include problems with setting goals, organizing, planning and prioritizing, time management, task initiation, self-monitoring,following directions, and regulating emotions.  I believe all students can be successful with the right tools.  I am inspired by one of my favorite bible verses—Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope.”

Many students feel that they cannot be successful and stay in a cycle of defeat and low self-esteem.  I want to help students by personalizing support, structure and strategies that will enable students to build on their strengths and build self-confidence.
