I’m Lucila Rudge, a Parent Coach and Consultant with a Ph.D. in Education and 25+ years of experience in the field of education.





I’ve never believed in a one-size-fits-all approach to educating a child. No two children are alike. Children come into this world with unique talents, interests, and distinctive needs. When we honor and nurture their uniqueness and provide the educational path that is right for them, they grow in confidence and develop a strong sense of self.

What I Bring to my Coaching and Consulting Services

Parent Coaching and Consulting Services

Extensive knowledge of mainstream and alternative approaches to education

I’ve always been interested in school choice and have focused most of my research on alternative approaches to schooling. I’ve visited dozens of schools around the world, talking to teachers, school administrators, and parents. I’ve published the book, Holistic Education: An Analysis of its Pedagogical Application, , and a number of articles on related topics.

I’ve also worked closely with U.S. public schools, collaborating with teachers, and mentoring, and supervising teacher candidates in K-12 classrooms. I’ve taught a range of topics in education, including holistic approaches to education, theories of learning, social and emotional learning, educational psychology, among many others.

My goal is to provide you with educational options that best align with your family’s values, needs, and aspirations.

Lucila Rudge Coaching & Consulting For Parents

Experience as a Parent

I am a parent of two beautiful grown up children. Similar to many parents, I wanted the best education for my children, one that nurtured their strengths and supported their needs.

When one of my children finished elementary school, I had to seek an alternative option as the mainstream education was not working for him. I knew he could do well and thrive if we found the right place for him—and we did. Very quickly, I noticed the positive impact of the new school on him. I wish I had acted earlier but, like many parents, I had doubts and was reluctant to make changes.

My goal is to help you find the right education for your child, to guide and support you so you can clear your doubts and make decisions with confidence.

  • ROULA-LINDA

    “Meeting you was a true honor as I learnt more about myself and my son, with your incredible approach. I love your dedication, how you were curious about me and my son, how you sat through the sessions listening attentively to me and my life to come up with a beautiful approach for my son's future education. Thank you for shedding the light on aspects I was not aware of. You are a GEM”

  • ITUMELENG M.

    "The experience provide me space to be a third party that is highly invested on my child's education. In that journey Lucila allowed me the space to express myself freely and flexibly with my thoughts, which was a challenge at times."

  • VIVEK S.

    “I loved how Lucila nudged me to bring coach-like thinking to my parenting journey. I benefited from all of the exercises. They helped me bring focus to things that my son is doing well (his strengths), things that are in my control (choosing how to engage with him), and gratitude for things that are in place (both kid’s schools mesh well with my expressed values).

    I came away with concrete action steps, an improved mindset, and gratitude for what’s going well.”
