Meet Jen Soverino
An educator. An advocate. A partner in your child’s progress.
I’m Jen Soverino, the educator behind ADVOC8. My background in special education and my own experience with dyslexia guide how I support students and families—with empathy, collaboration, and a focus on each child’s strengths.
My journey began in second grade, when I struggled with dyslexia. That experience taught me the importance of feeling understood and having someone in your corner. It continues to inspire my work helping families ask questions, explore options, and find support.
Through executive functioning coaching, student advocacy, and tutoring, I help students develop skills and strategies that meet their individual needs. I work alongside families and school teams to identify meaningful next steps and build on what each student does well.
My goal is to help students grow in confidence and independence—and ensure families feel informed, prepared, and supported along the way.
