Educational consultant Nancy Eggert M.A.’s passion is to help students who have fallen behind in school catch up with their peers.
Having trained with experts in cognitive sensory processing, Eggert has worked with children in special education courses for more than a decade. In that time, she has been able to pull students back to grade level and help them reach their basic skills within 60 to 80 hours.
Nearly 22% of the population learns differently than the rest. This is where Eggert comes into play with a multisensory approach that differs from the average lesson plan.
In linguistics for example, Eggert focuses on teaching her students to read with sound rather than teaching them by individual letters or words.
“If a child is behind, that means there could be something not working between the page and the brain or the eyes,” Eggert said. “If they can’t pick it up from the page, you can teach them the sound.”
According to Eggert, she can help students with dyslexia, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism, language delays and attention issues who need specialized education. Many of her students have fallen behind because of missing school due to illness, and a growing number of her students were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown.
In her program, Eggert evaluates her students’ needs and keeps parents informed about their progress. In just a few sessions, parents and students will notice a difference.
Eggert sees her students as the future leaders of this world. Along with helping her students learn how to process information, she also hopes to instill a sense of leadership in her students by connecting them to history. She is a relative of Daniel Boone, an 18th century American pioneer and folk hero.
Eggert has plans to go nationwide with her Boone Pioneer Education Foundation. This foundation is named to keep our pioneer history alive for children and America Strong. Those who want to support this foundation as well as parents who are interested in enrolling their child can call 619-227-1664 or email [email protected].
