Kaitlin Murczek
Kaitlin Murczek, OCT, works with kids and teens who need help staying organized, getting started, and actually following through on schoolwork.
New here? Say hello with "Request a consultation."
A student can understand the material completely and still get stuck: staring at a blank page, forgetting what's due, shutting down before they've even opened the laptop, or just never starting.
Kaitlin works right there, in that stuck spot, using whatever the student's actually working on that week.
What sessions look like
Executive Functioning:
- Getting organized
- Planning ahead
- Managing time
- Actually getting started
- Staying with it when it gets hard
- Gradually building independence
Academic Coaching:
- Working directly with a student's current curriculum — an essay, math unit, or project
- Breaking down complex assignments into manageable steps
- Creating systems they can apply to future work
It's not tutoring. Kaitlin isn't teaching French or math; she's teaching the skills to handle any subject.
No two students get the same plan. Younger kids usually have parents more involved; teens tend to take the wheel themselves.
Who this is for
- Strong students, no system yet. Understand the material, but haven't built a way to stay organized and get it all done.
- Big transitions. New school, new grade, more independence.
- Overwhelmed by assignments. Benefit from a clear, structured plan to make the workload feel more manageable.
- Worn-out families. Ready for the homework battle to stop straining the relationship with their kid.
What coaching is — and what it's not:
This is executive function and academic coaching. It isn't therapy, counselling, a psychological assessment, medical treatment, or subject tutoring.
How to get started
A quick call first.
No pressure — just a chance to see if it's a good fit.
Getting started.
Conversations and a few questionnaires help set goals around the student's own strengths and needs.
Ongoing sessions.
A plan going in, then a real check-in on how it actually went.
Kaitlin Murczek, OCT
As an Ontario Certified Teacher, Kaitlin observed a common trend: capable students often struggle with the foundational skills that are, often, not explicitly taught in the classroom.
Her practice bridges the gap between understanding academic material and successfully managing the process of completing it.
Background
- Specialist training in special education and reading
- Training in child mental health, crisis prevention, and restorative practices
- Bachelor of Arts in psychology and French, Trent University
- Bachelor of Education, Queen's University
She's taught in mainstream and Special Education classrooms in England, York Region, and now Toronto — always from a neurodiversity-affirming, whole-person point of view.
Kaitlin believes that a student's progress is about more than just grades; it's about how they navigate challenges and develop resilience.
She fosters a supportive environment where students gain the confidence to take ownership of their own learning journey.
How Kaitlin works
Students pick their own goals.
People stick with plans they actually chose.
Sessions end with something concrete.
Not a theory — an actual next step the student can do this week.
The real win is needing her less.
Success looks like more independence over time, not more sessions.
Wondering if this is a fit? A consultation request is just a short form and a conversation.

1. About This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Kaitlin Murczek (“I,” “me,” “my,” or “the Practice”) collects, uses, protects, and manages personal information through this website and in connection with inquiries submitted through the website.
The Practice provides executive functioning (EF) and academic coaching to children and adolescents.
This Privacy Policy is intended to describe the Practice’s proposed approach to privacy and is subject to review and revision to ensure compliance with applicable privacy and professional requirements.
2. Information I Collect Through This Website
I intend to collect only the information reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries and determine whether my services may be appropriate.
Depending on how you contact me, this may include:
- Parent/guardian name
- Email address
- Telephone number
- A general description of the support being requested
- Preferred method of contact
- How you heard about the Practice
- Information you voluntarily provide in an inquiry or other communication
Information I Do Not Request Through the Website
The initial website inquiry process is intentionally limited.
I do not intend for prospective clients to submit detailed educational, diagnostic, medical, or other sensitive information through the website inquiry form.
For example, I ask families not to submit documents such as the following through an initial website inquiry form:
- Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
- Psychoeducational assessments
- Detailed medical information
- Other extensive student records
If your family proceeds with services, there will be a separate process for collecting information and documents that are relevant to the student’s service.
3. How I Use Information Collected Through the Website
Information submitted through the website may be used to:
- Respond to your inquiry
- Contact you about the services you are requesting
- Determine whether my services may be appropriate
- Arrange an initial consultation
- Communicate about potential or ongoing services
- Respond to questions or requests
- Maintain appropriate business records
- Meet applicable legal, professional, accounting, or administrative requirements
I will not collect information simply because it may be useful. I intend to follow a data-minimization approach and collect information that is relevant to the purpose for which it is being collected.
4. If You Become a Client
If you decide to proceed with services, additional information will be collected through the Practice’s formal onboarding process.
This may include information about the student, educational needs, strengths, areas of need, goals, and other information relevant to providing EF and academic coaching.
Where relevant and voluntarily provided, families may also provide documents such as:
- IEPs
- Report cards
- Psychoeducational assessments
- Other educational documents relevant to the services being provided
The collection, use, storage, retention, and deletion of client information is governed by the Practice’s broader privacy and information-handling procedures.
5. How I Protect Information
I take reasonable steps to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.
The Practice is intended to operate entirely digitally and uses separate business systems for practice-related information.
The current planned technology environment includes:
- Google Workspace for business email, calendar, and client records
- Sync for securely receiving documents from families
- Wave for invoicing, billing, and accounting
- Netlify for website hosting
I will maintain appropriate separation between the Practice and my employment as a teacher. Client information from the Practice will not be stored in or intentionally transferred to school-board systems, accounts, or records.
Specific security measures and configurations will be maintained in accordance with the Practice’s finalized privacy and data-handling procedures.
6. Sharing of Personal Information
I do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise provide client or prospective-client personal information for marketing purposes.
I will generally not disclose personal information to third parties unless:
- The disclosure is necessary for the purpose for which the information was collected;
- You have provided appropriate authorization or consent;
- The disclosure is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law; or
- The disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal or professional obligation.
Communication With Schools and Other Professionals
Communication with a student’s teacher, school, SERT, social worker, psychologist, or other professional is not automatically part of the Practice’s standard onboarding process.
If communication with a third party becomes appropriate during service, I intend to obtain a separate, specific authorization identifying the individual or organization involved and the information that may be shared, subject to applicable legal requirements.
7. Website Service Providers
The Practice uses third-party technology providers to operate its website and business systems.
These providers may process information on the Practice’s behalf as necessary to provide their services.
The current planned providers include:
- Netlify — website hosting
- Google Workspace — business email and related business services
- Sync — secure document transfer
- Wave — billing and accounting
The Practice will take reasonable steps to select and configure services appropriately for the information being handled.
Information about applicable third-party service providers, including their privacy and security practices, may be available through their respective websites.
8. Website Analytics, Cookies, and Similar Technologies
The Practice may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for the operation, security, or functionality of the website.
If analytics, advertising, tracking pixels, embedded content, or other technologies are used, this section will be updated to describe them and explain how they are used.
I do not currently intend to use the website to collect detailed student information for advertising or targeted marketing purposes.
9. How Long Information Is Retained
Information submitted through an initial website inquiry will not be retained indefinitely.
Information will generally be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for applicable legal, professional, accounting, insurance, or other requirements.
If an inquiry does not result in a client relationship, information may be retained for a shorter period than information forming part of a client record.
Client records are subject to the Practice’s separate retention and deletion procedures.
The specific retention periods will be established following legal and professional review.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to personal information held by the Practice, including rights to:
- Request access to personal information about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Ask questions about how your information is collected, used, or disclosed;
- Make a privacy-related complaint or request.
Requests should be directed to:
Kaitlin Murczek
kaitlin@kaitlinmurczeklearning.ca
Because the Practice primarily serves minors, requests relating to a student’s personal information may be subject to additional requirements concerning parental/guardian authority, the student’s rights, and applicable law.
11. Accuracy of Information
I rely on clients and prospective clients to provide accurate and up-to-date information where necessary.
If you believe that information I hold about you or your child is inaccurate or incomplete, please contact me so that I can review the information and make any appropriate correction, subject to applicable requirements.
