Same Playbook. Different Field.
Where Do You Want to Start?
The methodology is the same whether you're running a business or running between AP classes. Diagnose what's blocking you. Build systems that fit how you actually work. Play the long game.
Your Business Grew.
Your Systems Didn't.
The whole thing runs through you and you can't step away without it falling apart. That's not a discipline problem — that's a design problem. Let's diagnose what's actually broken and build systems that hold without requiring you to be a hero every single day.

Mean Okay.
High-achieving students carry more than most people see — the academics, the activities, the pressure, the future. We don't just prep for tests. We build the systems, skills, and self-awareness that make everything else easier too.

Work with me at any Level…
One clear path from free template to full system build. No upsell chaos, no bait-and-switch.
Overheard…
"I traveled to Mexico for 5 weeks. My pipeline kept running. That's what the systems work did for me."
— Shelly Rees, Divorce Financial Consultant
How This Works
Before You Dive In,
Read This.
This isn't a library you binge and feel productive about. You're here to build. Here's how I operate so you know exactly what you're walking into.
Diagnose Before You Build
I don't hand you a template and wish you luck. I find the actual bottleneck first — because a system built on top of a misdiagnosis is just organized chaos.
Implementation Over Content
Every training, every lab, every call is designed to produce something that works — not just something that makes sense in theory. You leave with a system, not a to-do list.
Systems, Not Hacks
A system = Tool + Process + Ritual + Outcome. If you're missing any of those, you have a digital paperweight with a monthly subscription fee.
No Performative Hustle
We're building businesses and academic lives that hold up under pressure — sustainably. Exhaustion isn't a badge of honor here. Looking busy and being sustainable are two very different games.
Graduate, Don't Retain
My methodology is designed for you not to need me. The container gets less necessary over time, not more. That's the whole point.
Direct Questions. Clean Decisions.
No vague posting to avoid the real problem. Bring what you've actually tried. We work from there — with receipts, not vibes.
From the Scoreboard
What happens when
the systems Actually Work.
"I traveled to Mexico for 5 weeks. My pipeline kept running. That's what the systems work did for me."
"If It's Burnout — I'll Always Come Back To You! She helped me put routines in place, prioritize my time and values. So grateful!"
"I signed up for some SEO schooling and I'm getting SO MUCH MORE than that. It looks like everything I wanted and needed that I couldn't put together."

Common Questions
Still Figuring Out Where You Fit?
-
Ellyn is a sustainable performance coach, Notion Ambassador, and academic tutor. She works with high-achieving founders and students to diagnose what's blocking their performance and build systems that support long-term results without burnout. The methodology is the same regardless of whether you're running a business or running between AP classes.
-
The coaching side serves founders and business owners — diagnosing operational bottlenecks, building Notion systems, and creating sustainable performance strategies. The tutoring side serves high-achieving students — academic support in STEM subjects, SAT and ACT prep, and executive function coaching. Same diagnostic-first methodology. Different field.

Get the Free template here. So many of the founders I talk to pinpoint their marketing and content creation as one of their operational bottlnecks. This takes care of that in a simple, streamlined marketing flow.
If you’re good on marketing, but you’re struggling to make your systems work for you, check out Beyond templates here.
If neither of those feel liek the right move for you, let’s chat about it on a call! I’d love to hear more about what brought you here and what’s got you stuck!
-
Generally, most of the students coming to me are looking for SAT, ACT, or Academic support.
If you’re picking between the ACT and the SAT, check out my Masterclass on how to choose the right exam for you/your student.
If you’re already testing but your student is struggling a bit, check out the Test Week Checklist. It’s basically all of my last minute tips for students taking standardized tests.
If you’re looking for tutoring support, head to the For Students page. You'll find information on tutoring and mentorship, SAT and ACT prep, and how to book a consultation. Ellyn works with students online nationwide.
-
Notion is an all-in-one productivity and automation app — the best on the market for founders who need to get everything out of their head and into a system that runs without them. You don't need to know it before working with Ellyn. That's the whole point.
-
Most coaching sells motivation. Ellyn diagnoses first, builds second, and designs every container to make itself less necessary over time — not more. The goal is that you graduate, not that you keep renewing. If you want the full breakdown, read the Dependence by Design essay.

Ellyn is based in Tacoma, WA. VIP Days can be booked in person, as can Notion services. However, I do try to keep the majority of my work online because..isn’t it easier for everyone to not have to commute? I mean…gas is expensive!
Tutoring is completely online!
Speaking and in-person events are available in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
