About Dr. Garcia & Path to Peak Coaching
After serving as Director of Ingenuity Year at the Forman School, my passion for working with students with learning differences deepened. It was there that I discovered the need for a holistic and individualized approach for all students, not just those with learning differences as they moved towards adulthood.
Regardless of the path students take, there is a deep need for understanding how they individually approach the world. Together you and I can help your student achieve their personal goals through bespoke coaching that is tailored to their personality, wants and dreams.
Hi, I’m Dr. Erin Garcia
I’m Dr. Erin Garcia, and I’m here to support you, your family, and your student through some of the most exciting but overwhelming times of their life.
As a Neurodivergent person myself, I know exactly what your child is experiencing, and it gives me a unique perspective on how to support them in the classroom, on campus, and beyond as they transition from high school to college.
As a North Carolina native, I’ve spent the last decade in Nashville with my husband, Matt, and pups, Frank and Beans. I have 12+ years of experience in educating and building curricula around student success and college readiness for divergent learners.
Together, we can ensure your child feels prepared to navigate adulthood and higher education despite their neurodiversity while providing a safe space for students from all walks of life.
If you’re ready to see how we can build a strategy for your child together, book your discovery call today.
MY MISSION
At Path to Peak, our mission is to empower students to confidently navigate their academic journeys and transition into adulthood. Through personalized Zoom coaching sessions and tailored strategies, we equip students with the tools they need to manage their time effectively, study independently, and feel fully prepared for life on campus and beyond. We specialize in supporting high school and university students, including those with neurodivergent needs, but believe that every learner, regardless of background or learning style, can benefit from our coaching. Our inclusive philosophy ensures that students of all sexualities, genders, races, and religions feel supported and excited about their futures, whether their path includes university or another pursuit.
How I Can Help Your Student
Every coaching program is tailored specifically for your child to accommodate to their learning differences, personality, goals, and dreams.
No two people are the same, so why should their coaching be the same? No matter their goals, every milestone we’re working towards is specifically crafted to fit your child’s wants, not yours, their classmates, or any other external (or internal) pressures they might be facing. Our goal together will be to prepare your child to enter adulthood no matter their path or goals.
