Tyree McIntosh

I am a disability‑informed educator, support specialist, and consultant based in Brussels, with 17 years of experience across schools, respite programs, tutoring, development centers, and family support. My work centers on helping students, families, and schools create environments where young people can learn, grow, and feel genuinely understood.

My practice is grounded in the belief that every learner deserves support that honors their identity, autonomy, and lived experience. I work with students as they are, not as they’re expected to be, using strengths-based, collaborative, and accessible approaches that reduce overwhelm and build sustainable skills.

I provide individualized support for students, coaching for families, and collaborative consulting for schools. My approach is structured, practical, and designed to help individuals thrive in real environments.

Educational Support
Individualized sessions designed to strengthen learning, confidence, and daily functioning.

Support may include:

  • Literacy and writing support
  • Tutoring and adapted learning
  • SEL and emotional regulation
  • Organization, pacing, and executive functioning
  • Accommodations and accessible materials
  • Homework and project planning
  • Social communication and social skills

How it works:
Sessions are tailored to the student’s learning profile, sensory needs, and goals. I use clear structure, predictable routines, and practical strategies that transfer to home and school environments.

Family Coaching & Support
Coaching for families who want clarity, confidence, and tools that make daily life easier.

I help with:

  • Understanding your child’s needs
  • Creating routines that reduce stress
  • Building structure that actually works
  • Improving communication at home
  • Understanding the assessment process
  • Navigating school collaboration

How it works:
Coaching sessions focus on practical, realistic strategies that fit your family’s rhythms. You receive clear guidance, step‑by‑step tools, and ongoing support as needed.
