What does a 'Wholistic' NeuroGrowth Coach/Practicioner do?
Unlock Your Child's Potential!
When a child feels anxious, stuck, or begins acting out, it’s often a sign that their nervous system is dysregulated. Their brain and body are out of sync. That’s where my work begins. I take time to truly understand your child, who they are, how they learn, and what’s blocking their growth. Together, we uncover root causes and create a personalized plan to help them feel safe, calm, and ready to learn again.
As a licensed NYS teacher, Blocks-to-Flow™ Practitioner, and NeuroGrowth Learning Success Coach, I focus on cultivating the “mind soil," creating the right conditions for learning to take root and flourish. When the soil is ready, learning blooms naturally. No more shutting down. No more tantrums. Just calm, focus, and confidence.
Once the nervous system is regulated, then we begin the academics. Using EBLI (Evidence Based Literacy Instruction), neuroscience-based lessons and a wholistic approach, I make learning easier, faster, and more joyful.
Parents are guided and coached along the way, because real change happens when the whole family grows together. And this isn’t just for children, I also help teens, college students, and adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed rediscover flow, focus, and purpose.
Together, we nurture growth from the roots up, restoring balance, strengthening skills, and building lifelong success.

Maria Elena Mazza
My passion lies in helping children grow and succeed. There is always something new for me to learn.
As a NYS licensed classroom teacher (Pre-K- 6) for 33 years, I hold an MALS + 60 and have a certificate in Educational Computing. I completed over 80 hours of training to become an ICF-accredited, Licensed, Certified Wholistic NeuroGrowth Learning Success Coach and Blocks to Flow Nervous-System-First Practitioner. I am certified in Orton-Gillingham Multisensory Math and have extensive experience teaching Wilson/Fundations. However, up to date research brings me to what's best for learners. I am excited to be trained in Ebli's (Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction) K-12 Intervention and am offering this to all my students. I've gotten amazing results!
In addition to classroom teaching, I spent 9 years as math, science, and technology coordinator.
My most valuable learning experience was working with my students. I realize there is so much more to do. I am dedicated to continuing my mission of supporting children who need extra time and personalized attention beyond the traditional classroom. As I move forward in my journey, My goal is to guide them towards success by providing the additional support they need.

Academics
Is your child struggling with reading, writing, or math?
I will meet with your child to identify gaps in their learning and support them in a holistic, personalized way, helping them move forward with confidence. I specialize in Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction (EBLI), a brain-friendly approach with a low cognitive load and high acceleration rate, helping students learn more efficiently without overwhelm. It is highly effective for many reading disabilities, including dyslexia.
As an approved Step Up For Students provider (Part-Time Tutoring) and Hope Scholarship provider, I offer flexible options based on your child’s needs. This can include focused EBLI tutoring or a comprehensive plan that identifies learning gaps and underlying blocks, includes diagnostic assessments, and creates a clear, personalized path for success.
I work closely with both you and your child to ensure progress is meaningful, goals are met, and your child begins to feel confident and capable in their learning.

Testimonials
Our daughter struggled with reading and math for many years, and we were unsure how to help her. Since working with Maria Elena, we have seen our daughter move forward, catch up, and most importantly, build confidence again in school. Maria Elena has honed in on our daughter’s strengths and uses those to address her weaknesses. Her expertise and partnership with us is a gift we are so grateful to have found. It’s hard to capture how much she has meant to us!
