Dr. Jamie Sue Greer
Educational Advocate & Learning Coach
(Virtual | 1:1 Student Support | Systems Navigation | Equity-Focused)
About My Role
As an Educational Advocate and Learning Coach, I partner with students, families, and educational institutions to remove barriers to learning, strengthen student agency, and ensure equitable access to meaningful educational opportunities.
My work sits at the intersection of learning science, coaching, and educational advocacy. I focus not only on what students are learning, but also on how they learn, how they are treated within systems, and how they can effectively advocate for themselves within those systems.
I serve as a bridge between students, families, and schools, clarifying expectations, facilitating communication, and empowering students to navigate academic environments with confidence, clarity, and competence.
