Coach Edward

Every student deserves the opportunity to unlock their dreams through education—but let’s be real: most students aren’t equipped with the strategies they need to thrive. I know because I was one of them. As a first-gen, low-income, minority student with severe executive function challenges, I dropped out of UCLA twice before discovering the research-backed strategies that transformed my life. Now, I’m passionate about teaching students how to learn, boost their productivity, and reframe their mindset so they can succeed in school, too. When I’m not coaching or creating new educational resources, you’ll find me wandering SoCal’s theme parks with my family or sipping espresso while daydreaming out a window.
