Ms.Figgy, M.Ed
Founder and Educational Therapist
Ms. Figgy attended and graduated from New York University in four years. During her time there, she was on the Dean’s List every year for outstanding grades and high academic performance.
Following graduation, she immediately returned to school to begin her training as a teacher. At Loyola Marymount University, Ms. Figgy earned her Multiple Subject Teaching Credential while working full-time as an elementary school teacher.
In the years that followed, she acquired lifetime status as a Credentialed California Teacher. Hungry for more knowledge, Ms. Figgy went on to obtain a Master’s degree in Educational Administration and Leadership from George Washington University. Graduating with a 4.0 GPA, she developed a deeper understanding of education law, school leadership, and systems that support student success.
Ms. Figgy has worked in schools throughout the Bay Area, Central Valley, and Los Angeles. Much of her time was spent supporting students who had fallen behind academically and needed targeted instruction to catch up with their peers.
Through this work, she developed a strong ability to identify students’ academic needs, design individualized learning plans, and implement strategies that lead to meaningful academic growth and confidence in the classroom.
Continuing her commitment to professional growth, Ms. Figgy recently earned her College Counseling Certificate from UCLA Extension, graduating with a 4.0 GPA. She is also currently completing her training in Educational Therapy through the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Ms. Figgy is a Los Angeles native who works with families across the city and currently serves many students in the West Los Angeles area. She prides herself on being a thoughtful partner and clear communicator with families. Ms. Figgy believes learning should be engaging and empowering for students and values strong collaboration with parents, teachers, and schools.
At this time, she is accepting new clients and is available to meet with families.
Robert Bujosa, M.A, Doctorate of Education Candidate
Educational Therapist
Robert Bujosa is passionate about working with young learners, particularly in grades K-8, who have learning differences. He believes that early, individualized support is often the most powerful tool for helping students build lasting academic confidence and a genuine love of learning.
Robert graduated from William & Mary, double majoring in Chemistry and Environmental Science, and interned in the Science Directorate at NASA Langley Research Center, where he conducted independent research on atmospheric aerosols and partnered with teachers from across the country on their own school-based research projects. This experience inspired him to transition from science research into the field of education, based on the notion that learning is best achieved when it is authentic and collaborative. He began his teaching career in Houston in 2015, teaching Chemistry and Aquatic Science, before completing his M.S. in Educational Studies from Johns Hopkins University, concentrating on human development and culturally responsive teaching.
In 2018, Robert moved back to his hometown of Riverside, California, where he earned his Clear California Teaching Credential and worked as an Independent Study Teacher for Options for Youth, providing one-on-one and small-group support to middle school students who struggled to thrive in a traditional education system. This experience gave him hands-on training in designing individualized interventions for students of diverse backgrounds and learning profiles, and it shaped his interest in working directly with younger students going forward. Alongside this role, he completed a Professional Certificate in STEM Education through the UC Riverside Extension Center, with a focus on access and equity in education.
To deepen his expertise in supporting neurodiverse learners, Robert completed an M.A. in Educational Psychology from UC Riverside in 2022, and he is currently pursuing an Ed.D. in Neurodiversity and Neuroeducation from Johns Hopkins University. He is also undergoing Orton-Gillingham training and working toward an AET-Approved Certificate in Educational Therapy through the UC Santa Cruz Extension Center, building specialized tools for early literacy and learning support.
For the past four years, Robert has taught Upper School Science at New Roads School in Santa Monica, where he also leads the school's new CORE (Communication, Organization, Routines, & Executive Functioning) program, supporting 9th and 10th grade students with non-academic skills. Alongside this work, he is eager to bring his training in individualized, neurodiversity-informed instruction to younger students, with particular interest in early literacy intervention, K-8 mathematics, and middle school science.
At this time, he is accepting new clients and is available to meet.
Philip Nicoll graduated Summa Cum Laude from Cal Poly Pomona with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, earning a 3.97 GPA. During his time there, he was recognized as a CSU Trustees Awardee (1 of 27,000 students), a SIAM Scholarship Recipient, a Keith Soon Kim College of Science Scholar, and an NSF SPIRES Research Scholar.
With a strong foundation in multivariable calculus, linear algebra, probability, statistics, and proof-based mathematics, Philip combines technical depth with a highly intuitive teaching style. He emphasizes visual demonstrations, structured problem-solving, and minimizing frustration so that students build both confidence and genuine understanding.
In addition to tutoring, Philip has led and contributed to advanced research projects in machine learning and computational mathematics, developing deep learning architectures and numerical methods for scientific applications. This background strengthens his ability to explain complex material clearly.
Philip works with students across a range of mathematics levels and prides himself on clear communication and thoughtful planning. He values strong partnerships with families and believes that steady progress comes from structure, clarity, and encouragement.
