About

The Full Story

Hi, I’m Erika Hardy — Learning Specialist, executive functioning coach, and believer that every student deserves to feel capable and confident in how they learn.

​

I founded Hardy Learning Essentials to empower students, families, and educators with the tools that actually make learning work— skills like planning, focusing, organizing, communicating, and following through. My approach is brain-based, strengths-driven, and deeply personalized, honoring the unique way each learner thinks and grows.

​

I value inclusion, curiosity, compassion, and real-world success. That means we don’t just aim for better grades. We build independence, resilience, and habits that last long after the assignment is turned in.

Whether I’m coaching one-on-one, collaborating with teachers, or designing skill-building programs for schools, my goal remains the same: to help students discover their abilities and trust them.

​

Outside of sessions, you can usually find me with a cup of coffee in hand, diving into a new book on neuroscience, exploring new places, or creating something that sparks learning and connection. I’m always inspired by the incredible potential young people hold, and I’m grateful to support them as they unlock it.

​

I look forward to working with you!
