About

Hi, I’m Nicola Lott

Educator • Coach • Consultant.

I’m a dyslexic learner, a parent of a neurodiverse teen, and a seasoned educator who’s spent the last 15+ years helping students and teachers find their footing in classrooms that weren’t built with every brain in mind.

I’ve worked in schools and private practice across four continents, bringing both global and local insight to the challenges neurodiverse learners face—and to the practical, research-informed solutions that help them thrive. Originally trained in Orton-Gillingham, I’ve expanded my practice to include executive function coaching, multisensory math instruction, and systems-level support for inclusive education.

I hold a Master’s in Special Education with a concentration in Learning Disabilities, and I bring a blend of research, teaching experience, and lived perspective to every workshop, coaching session, and training I lead.

I’ve been invited to speak across Canada and internationally on the Science of Reading, MTSS, and inclusive practices for neurodiverse learners. I train educators, schools, and school districts, helping teams build systems that support every learner—without burning out in the process.

My work sits at the intersection of instructional clarity, cognitive science, and inclusive practice. Whether I’m helping a young learner find their path, supporting a teacher in adapting instruction, or working with a school to rethink its intervention model, my goal is the same: to help students take charge of their learning—and help educators create environments where that’s truly possible.
