Our Vision

In 2006, after receiving many ad-hoc requests to conduct training and design workshops applying linguistics to fields such as K-12 education and technology, LaNysha Adams created edlinguist.com. Initially, Edlinguist was a sole-proprietor venture that housed LaNysha’s teaching portfolio, crowdsourced lesson plans, and an interactive blog. As the site’s traffic picked up and averaged over 800 visitors per week consistently for 10 years, Dr. Adams’ research focus kept coming back to the rapidly changing fact that nearly one in ten public school students are English Learners, representing a 50% increase over the past decade. After serving as an educator in public high school, workforce, university, legislative, and state education agency settings, Dr. Adams was inspired to create an entity that would profitably prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in its innovative efforts to improve educational outcomes for our most under-resourced children.

Our current client roster includes doctoral students committed to graduate school success, award-winning nonprofits, state-education agencies, Ivy-League universities, community colleges, local education agencies, high schools, and federal government agencies. We take pride in supporting not just our clients’ work, but their lifelong learning aspirations. We are members of the International Coaching Federation and we abide by their canon of ethics.
