Attending UCSD for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees helped me formulate strategies to be a well-rounded individual. As a college swimmer and student I had many demands I was expected to meet. This process required good organization, time management and prioritization. Life skills like these are so important and are a huge advantage for students to learn young.

I am a teacher with a passion for people of all ages! I love getting to know students and learning about what motivates and excites them. Being a teacher, I also understand the challenges that students often face in an educational setting. I am excited to encourage and uplift students by helping them develop Executive Function skills. My goal is that students learn these skills so they can have more success in all areas of life and feel confident that they can be their best.

In my free time you will find me at the beach, on a trail, or cooking in my kitchen. I also love DIY and home improvement projects. I am so excited to connect with you!

Hi! My name is Corey Reschke and I am SO excited to introduce myself to all of you and
welcome you to the school year!

I have been teaching for over 12 years , grades TK- 6th. Most recently I was a classroom teacher at a sweet private school in Rancho Santa Fe, Ca where I taught fourth grade for 10 years. WhenI left to have my two babies, Skylar ( 3 years old) and Wyatt ( 1 year old) I took a new job as HST at Pacific Coast Academy where I was a liaison for homeschool families. I worked there for three years and loved helping parents teach their own kids. I learned so much about all of the resources, learning theories, and varied curricula that's available to families. I missed the actual day to day of teaching so much though so I will be back to in person teaching part time with elementary students, as well as my new role as an executive functioning coach here at Strive Coaching.

As a mom , and an educator, I believe in kids. I love helping students hone in on their
strengths and build upon goals they have for themselves. I'm excited to partner with all of you this year and watch our students soar!

Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to teach in a variety of school settings, including dual language schools and highly capable programs, where I have honed my skills as a classroom teacher, curriculum developer, instructional coach, positive behavior coach, and integrated intervention specialists. Working with a variety of learners, as well as student athletes as a basketball coach, my approach is to build upon students’ strengths and celebrate every step towards accomplishing personally identified goals. My passion is to build confidence in students and find fun ways to learn new skills.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing board games with my husband of 18 years and two 'tweenage' daughters, camping in the beautiful PNW, cheering on the University of Washington Huskies and Seattle Seahawks, and going to music concerts.

I have been a second through fifth grade special education teacher in Oceanside, California, for the last four years, but I have worked in the education setting in various capacities for many years. Helping students understand core curriculum and acquire daily life skills. I also serve as a Special Needs Coordinator at my local church, creating awareness for disability and inclusion (here in the U.S. and around the globe), hoping to see people of all abilities have what they need to be successful alongside their typically developing peers. As an educator and EF coach, I am passionate about helping every student succeed and belong, allowing them the space to set goals and create plans to reach them according to their individual needs.

When I am not teaching or coaching, I love to head to the beach, go traveling or head out sailing with my nephews.

Hi, my name is Ellen Bennett, and I love students and teaching.

I am a retired teacher who taught 6th, 7th, and 12th grade English at a private school in San Diego for 9 years. I also have experience teaching at a public school and with homeschooling. In addition to coaching with Strive, I currently substitute teach and have enjoyed starting a podcast! I love to hike, travel, and spend time with my husband of over 30 years, my two married children and their spouses, my new grandson, and my cute, incorrigible rescue dog.

I love working with students and cheering them on to help them grow and gain the skills needed to achieve their goals. As a teacher and a mom of 2 now-adult kids, I understand it’s tough being a student and also a parent these days. The middle school and high school years are a crucial and challenging, yet special and exciting time. I hope to make life easier for students to navigate by building on their strengths, and positively coaching life-long skills and goal-setting that will lead them toward reaching their goals and full potential.
