I’m Cynthia Ukah: 

• An educator,

• Author, public speaker, and 

• Parent of four ICCSD-educated adults

with a passion for working with children and supporting families that desire personalized instructional support that enhances what's happening in the classroom.

After spending 30+ years in schools, I founded Optimize Learning to serve as a coach and learning partner for children and teenagers who need help with reading, writing, math, or specialized support for IEPs and families looking for differentiated and targeted support.

My approach puts families in the driver’s seat, so that we can work together to meet your child where they are and provide specific strategies and tools to drive measurable growth. I will assess your student, and equip you with an I Do, We Do, You Do approach that empowers your child with supplemental strategies to make huge leaps that complement all the hard work happening in the classroom setting.
