Welcome! I’m Devin Tomiak, an academic life coach dedicated to helping students and young adults across the neurodiverse spectrum navigate academic and personal challenges with clarity, purpose, and resilience. My work is deeply informed by my own journey of growth, loss, and transformation.

​​​

​When I was in college at the University of Texas at Austin, I worked as an SAT instructor for the Princeton Review. I figured I’d be teaching test tips and vocabulary words, but I started to notice something - my students didn’t just need help with the test. They needed help with the stress around the test, the procrastination, the late-night spirals of self-doubt. That realization stayed with me.​​

​

Later in life, in the wake of a personal loss, I became deeply committed to building resilience in our youth. This led me to co-create the Biggies Conversation Cards, a tool designed to foster emotional intelligence, confidence, and communication in children and families.​​

​

Most recently, I have been serving as a crisis counselor for the National Crisis Text Line, providing support to young people facing challenging moments. This experience has reinforced my passion for helping youth build mental and emotional strength.​

​

Being a parent myself, I am intimately familiar with the pressures our kids face in the fiercely competitive, and often fractured society we live in today. I bring that perspective into my coaching.​

​

​As an academic life coach, I combine emotional support, learning strategy, and resilience-building to help students and families overcome obstacles and thrive academically and personally. My mission is to create a foundation for success, turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
