Education guidance built from real experience
Tatiana’s work in education grew out of years of home education, family coordination and navigating education across locations and systems. She later expanded that experience into educational consulting, community support and college guidance.
At Pathways, she has coordinated individualized educational plans for high school and college-bound students and provided one-on-one coaching to students and families on options, deadlines and next steps. Her consulting work has also included curriculum advice, college guidance counseling and development of personalized high school pathways.
She has worked with mobile families, designed travel-integrated education plans, and built large online education communities. That combination shapes the Pathways model: understand the student, research the options, organize the details, and stay involved as the plan develops.
