Welcome to LB Learning
This is a space built on the belief that education should do more than prepare students for exams. Drawing on progressive, holistic, and IB-aligned teaching values, my teaching practice is grounded in the idea that students thrive when they are met with high expectations and genuine understanding — when the systems around them are communicated clearly, their language and culture are treated as assets, and they are given the tools to think, write, and participate with growing independence and confidence.
My work focuses on helping multilingual learners navigate English-medium academic environments, while building confidence as thinkers and writers. My goal is to support students in developing the language skills, independence, and intellectual curiosity that allow them to thrive across schools and cultures.
About Logan
I grew up at The Putney School in southern Vermont, which gave me a firsthand understanding of what progressive, student-centered learning can look like, and lit a curiosity about schools, cultures, and how students thrive when education meets them where they are. That curiosity has taken me across three continents and over fifteen years of work supporting multilingual learners in international and boarding schools across Europe, Asia, and the U.S.
My work has included roles as an English teacher, department head, international student coordinator, and learning support specialist at schools such as the American School of The Hague, Western Academy of Beijing, Phillips Academy Andover, Northfield Mount Hermon, and others. Throughout, my focus has remained the same: helping students not just learn English, but understand how to think, write, and succeed in IB and American academic systems.
I hold an M.A.T. in TESOL from the SIT Graduate Institute and a certificate in Learning Differences and Neurodiversity from Landmark College. Currently based in Japan, I teach at an IB international school and work with multilingual students preparing for or currently enrolled in international schools, IB programs, and U.S. boarding schools.
