CILA WARNCKE

Empowering gifted, sensitive, and unconventional students to thrive academically and personally.

Write to Success

Cila has been an amazing support for my son who is ASD/ADHD. From the beginning, she created a safe, calm and understanding environment where he has thrived.

He loves his lessons and looks forward to them, which is something we never imagined possible. Cila’s kindness, patience and understanding have made a huge difference, academically and emotionally.

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, dedicated teacher.

Cila has the perfect blend of kindness and directness. She tells you exactly what you need to work on to make your writing the best it can be. She helped me make my essays more concise and coherent.

Even if you think your writing is sufficient, she transports your prose into a new realm.
I would highly recommend her as an essay coach, as she helps you find the core of your story and cut away the clutter.

Hello, I'm Cila

Academic excellence for exceptional students

I work with bright, sensitive, and unconventional learners who struggle with classroom routines, social situations, and traditional learning expectations.

They may have been diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, or autism. They may be labeled ‘difficult’ or feel anxious, discouraged, or ‘not normal’ despite their talents.

 

 

 

 

I work long-term with students seeking personalized teaching in English language arts, literature, linguistics, writing, communication and study/self-management skills.

I also help exceptional students develop standout college applications, and offer intensive coaching for exams, projects and portfolio development.
