Your résumé isn't the problem. The language is.
You have the experience. You have the credentials. You've been doing the work of a coordinator, a program manager, and a stakeholder lead inside a classroom. Your résumé doesn't say that yet.

Director · Former Teacher · Hiring Manager
15 applications. No callbacks. This is why.
You're not underqualified. You're under-translated.
Hiring managers outside education don't speak IEP. They don't know what differentiated instruction means. They scan for keywords. Stakeholder communication. Project management. Data analysis. Cross-functional coordination. When those words aren't there, you're out.
Your résumé was written for a school. You're applying to companies. That's the gap, and it's fixable.
Your title is filtering you out.
"Special Education Teacher" doesn't match "Program Coordinator" in an ATS. You're getting auto-rejected before a human reads a word.
Your bullets describe duties, not impact.
"Managed classroom." "Led IEP meetings." Every teacher does that. Hiring managers want to know what you achieved, with numbers to back it.
Your transferable experience is missing.
You coordinated multidisciplinary teams. You ran compliance timelines. You handled high-stakes conversations with families. None of that is on the page.
Here's exactly what you get.
The Session
30 minutes · Live callWe get on a call. You tell me where you're trying to go. I tell you what's holding you back. We talk through your experience, your target roles, and your salary floor. You leave with a clear picture of what needs to change and why.
Your Action Plan
Delivered same weekA written document built for you. Target job titles. Where to search. Salary language. Interview prep for the questions that trip up every teacher making the switch. No generic advice.
Video Résumé Review
Within 2 weeksI record a walkthrough of your résumé. Every bullet I'd change. Every jargon swap. Every place where your experience isn't showing up the way it should. You see the edits and hear the reasoning.
Full Résumé Rewrite
Within 2 to 3 weeksI write you a new résumé. Translated. Targeted. ATS-ready. Built for the roles and salary range you're going after. You get it back ready to submit, not a template to fill in yourself.
Curated Job List
With your rewriteSpecific postings and companies aligned to your background and goals. You don't start from scratch. You start with a shortlist that already fits.
What this is not.
- This is not a résumé template you edit yourself.
- This is not generic career advice that applies to everyone.
- This is not a course with modules and homework.
It's one session, one coach, one résumé. Built around your background, your goals, and the roles that will pay you what you're worth.
You're the right fit if...
Book it
- You've been in education for at least 3 years and you're ready to leave the classroom.
- You've sent applications and heard nothing back.
- You know you're qualified but can't figure out why it's not translating.
- You have a salary target in mind and need your résumé to support it.
- You want someone to do the rewrite for you, not hand you a template and wish you luck.
Not yet
- You're early in your career and not sure you want to leave.
- You want a quick fix with no back-and-forth.
- You're not ready to stop applying until the résumé is right.
I've been where you are.
I taught 3rd grade at Uncommon Schools in New York City. My students hit 85 to 100% proficiency on the state exam. I coached other teachers while I was still in the classroom. I drove a 15 to 20% score increase at a school that everyone had written off.
My résumé said "taught reading."
I left teaching and it took me time to figure out how to say what I'd done. Once I did, my salary doubled. I went from 28 students to reaching 15,000+ through the programs I help build. I'm now a Director who reviews résumés. I run keyword searches. Most teacher résumés don't have them.
It was never a qualification problem. It was always a language problem.
That's why I built this.

Before you book.
How long does the full process take?
Your action plan comes within a week of your session. The video review and full résumé rewrite are delivered within 2 to 3 weeks. If you send your materials in quickly, the timeline moves faster.
Do I need a specific job in mind?
No. We figure out your target roles together on the call. You need a salary floor and a general direction. That's enough to start.
What if I've already been applying?
Stop sending applications until your résumé is done. 15 applications with the wrong language is 15 more rejections. We pause the search, fix the foundation, and then apply with materials that work.
Is this only for teachers leaving education entirely?
No. If you're moving into EdTech, nonprofit, advocacy, or any adjacent field, this still applies. Your experience needs to be translated for a new audience.
What do I send before the call?
Your current résumé. That's it. Send it to [email protected] after you book.
How is this different from the Support Circle?
The Support Circle ($39/month) is ongoing accountability and community. Coaching is the hands-on rewrite. They're different. If you need someone to do the work with you, start here.
You're translating.
The experience is there. The credentials are real. You managed people, ran programs, tracked outcomes, and held high-stakes relationships together every single day in that classroom. The role exists. The résumé makes it possible.
