Testimonials

“Haskell Life Skills is fantastic for kids who struggle with organization and executive functioning generally. Ariella truly cares about the child’s success, finds strategies that work for your individual child, and goes the extra mile (and then some) to help your child tackle and succeed at their work.”

“Anyone can sit you down and force you to write in a planner. But it takes some real magic for someone to actually get you to follow it. Everyone thought I was pretty much a lost cause after 10th grade, myself included. I can’t thank Ariella enough for what she did for me throughout the last two years.”

“Ariella helped me so much in high school! She gave me all the organizational tools I needed to overcome my issues with executive functioning. She taught me how to schedule my time, set up successful essays, and balance my schoolwork with extracurriculars and my social life.

What I loved most about working with Ariella is how much care she put into working with me. She really pulled for me and wanted to see me be happy and successful, and she still does. Through working with her for four years, I know that her passion is helping kids like me thrive and she puts her all into everything that she does.”

“Working with Ariella has been a pleasure, she is organized, patient, reliable, but most importantly, she connects with my daughter. Ariella makes the kids feel like they have a trusted advocate, someone who understands them and doesn’t judge them, while at the same time holding them accountable.

My daughter has been working with Ariella since 2018. Each week they sit down to review what the week ahead looks like and put together a day-by-day, detailed schedule of work. Thanks to Ariella, I have been able to extract myself out of the “homework” process, which has done wonders for our family. My daughter’s stress is greatly reduced because her work is broken down into chunks that she can tackle and it is spread out over days. It’s great to see her, over time, take on the personal responsibility of her school work. I’d highly recommend Ariella.”

“I can’t say enough about the impact that Ariella has had on the time management and organizational skills of my daughter. Not only did the time she spent with Ariella help her to improve her grades in school, I see her skills transferring beyond school responsibilities. Her room is neater. We argue less about chores and she has become an integral part of our Sunday week planning conversations. I don’t know what my family would have done without her help! ”
