Educational Services
In this day and age, students often face a seemingly overwhelming number of challenges, including learning struggles, emotional difficulties, as well as social and cultural differences. My role is to guide students and their families through this educational and emotional obstacle course.
As a trained clinical psychologist with more than a decade as an educational therapist, I have developed a method that considers the individual as a whole. Specifically, I assess and evaluate the unique aspects of every young person that I work with, including their age, history, family structure, academic strengths, temperament and presenting concerns. By doing so, I provide young persons with individualized strategies that address their academic needs, as well as their personality. Furthermore, by taking into account the emotional aspects of learning, my exclusive Snyder Relational Learning Method also teaches young persons to improve their relationship with their class work, teachers and learning style.
With respect to results, I work with clients to set and meet targets, objectives and goals. Within 6 months, my methods enable students who were receiving C’s to routinely earn B+’s and A’s. My methods also enable students to excel on standardized tests, including but not limited to the ISEE, the SAT, the ACT and subject tests. Additionally, these same methods enable them to succeed in their college years and beyond.

young person between the ages of 6 and 18 can spend over one–third of their day in school and school related activities. For an atypical learner, that can mean over eight hours a day of feeling less than adequate.
Clearly, this can lead to both academic and emotional challenges.
