Personalized academic support built around understanding
Encode Learning was created to help students move beyond simply getting through assignments and toward understanding how they learn, how to approach difficult material, and how to work more independently.
About Encode Learning
My Goal
To help students know they can and feel confident doing it.
That means building the understanding, strategies, and confidence to move forward independently.
My Approach
Students learn best when instruction is:
-
Clear and structured
-
Connected to what they already know
-
Adapted to how they process information
-
Focused on understanding, not memorization alone
-
Designed to build independence over time
Meet Chandler
I’m an educator, tutor, and learning designer with a background in chemistry, biology, instructional design, and academic support.
My experience includes designing and teaching math, technology, and academic strategy courses at DePaul School for Dyslexia, supporting high school and college students across math and science courses, and designing learning experiences for students with a wide range of strengths and learning differences.
What I enjoy most is figuring out where understanding is breaking down and finding a clearer way to explain it.
