Allan's Mission
Allan Hauskens has over 20 years of experience helping students reach their potential.
At the heart of Allan’s work is a simple belief: every child can thrive when they are met with the right kind of support. Allan began his career as a traditional classroom teacher, but his true calling emerged when he saw bright students struggling to keep up with standard methods. He realized that these children didn't need to "try harder"—they just needed a different way of learning.
Today, Allan has dedicated his life to being an Educational Therapist who helps parents turn their homes into places of confidence and breakthrough. His mission is to take the stress out of teaching and replace it with a clear, gentle roadmap, helping you support your child as they become the capable, independent learner you know they can be.
Allan’s Approach
The impact approach to learning
Allan knows that for a parent, being told what to do is very different from being shown how to do it. His approach is built around on-demand instructional videos designed specifically for parents. These videos break down complex reading and math concepts into simple, bite-sized lessons that you can watch and then immediately use with your child at your kitchen table.
A Gentle Path to Reading: As a Wilson Certified Practitioner, Allan uses his videos to walk you through a thoughtful, 12-step system. He shows you exactly how to build your child's literacy brick-by-brick, ensuring no child feels left behind.
Making Math Make Sense: Drawing on his graduate training in Making Math Real from UC Berkeley, Allan’s videos help you move away from frustrating memorization. He demonstrates how to show your child the "why" behind the math, turning confusion into clarity using hands-on tools.
Research-Backed Care: Through his work with the Association of Educational Therapy, Allan ensures that every video lesson is backed by the latest, most effective research in how children actually learn.
Whether your child is facing a specific learning challenge or just needs a little extra encouragement to get back on track, Allan’s videos give you the tools, the patience, and the plan to help them succeed together.

Commonly Asked Questions!
I’m not a teacher—can I really do this myself?
Absolutely. Allan’s videos are designed for parents, not academics. He breaks down professional teaching methods into simple, "watch-and-do" steps. If you can follow a recipe or a DIY video, you can use these tools to help your child thrive.
My child is already frustrated. Won't more lessons at home make it worse?
This is a common worry! Tension usually comes from a pace that is too fast or a method that doesn't click. Allan’s approach focuses on "Success-Based Learning." By using the tactile, hands-on techniques shown in the videos, you change the dynamic from "struggle" to "discovery," which helps lower a child's anxiety quickly.
How are these videos different from just watching a tutorial on YouTube?
Generic tutorials usually just show you how to solve one specific problem. Allan’s videos teach you the pedagogical process—the "how" and "why" behind learning. Drawing on his specialized training in Making Math Real and Wilson Language, he provides a structured system that builds skills in the correct order, so your child never hits a "wall" in their understanding.
