Cheryl Wilson is an author, coach, and lifelong learner who’s spent over two decades helping students and the adults who support them thrive. With two Master’s degrees and a Doctorate in Education, Cheryl has worn many hats: teacher, principal, mentor, and instructional coach. It is her deep love for learning and helping others grow that nurtures her spirit and makes her unstoppable. One of her favorite teaching memories occurred while teaching her first graders. Leo, told her, “I love you as much as I love my dog.” Leo is now an adult and still says that Cheryl is his favorite teacher. This is one of the numerous moments that remind her why she does what she does. 

After retiring in 2020, Cheryl took a course on how people learn. She realized that students who know how to learn possess executive functioning skills, such as time management, organization, study, and the self-discipline required to rehearse, remember, and apply knowledge. Our schools teach students what to learn but not how to learn. She returned to the classroom as a substitute at a middle school and for three years, she saw several low-performing students get promoted to high school without the basic study, management, and organization skills to graduate from high school. Her retirement ended, and her business, I Can Learn Anything was born.

Now, she coaches students, families, and educators to build executive functioning skills, develop confidence, and take charge of learning. Her clients see real changes—in focus, organization, and academic performance. Cheryl believes every student has the power to succeed when they’re given the right tools—and she’s here to help them develop and use those tools for success throughout their lives!
