Your Founder
I’m Michael Hernandez, an educator and author dedicated to K–6 growth. I know academic struggles often stem from unmet social-emotional needs. At MSCI Academy, we look beneath the surface to support the whole child. Before seeking paid tutoring, I invite you to join our free community. It is the essential foundation for our journey together.
Our Purpose
Our Future
- Helping students overcome emotional barriers to academic success. Giving parents a collaborative platform for growth. Building confidence through connection, starting with our free community.
- A generation of resilient learners who feel capable and heard. A world where emotional well-being and education are inseparable. Support systems that are accessible to every family.
Key Pillars
Unity in Growth
Emotional Clarity
Resilient Learning
Creating a supportive network for parents from the very start.
Prioritizing emotional safety to unlock true academic talent.
Building the internal tools kids need for life-long success.
My Approach
I understand that a child's ability to learn is deeply connected to how they feel. By creating an environment of safety and empathy, I help students move past their frustrations and begin to enjoy the learning process again.
Through my books, I introduce playful ways for children to build their inner strength. These stories are tools for families to navigate difficult school days, showing every child that they possess the power to succeed.
I am here as a partner in your child's education, not a medical provider. If I believe your family would benefit from clinical therapy, I will provide honest guidance. Let's start this journey in our free community.
Growth
- My goal is to see your child thrive beyond the classroom. We focus on building the resilience and self-assurance needed to tackle homework and life challenges alike, ensuring every milestone feels like a shared victory.
Learning
- I envision a home life where educational struggles no longer cause stress. By providing you with the right tools early on, we can transform academic hurdles into opportunities for your child to show their true talent.
Devotion
- I am committed to showing your child that they are truly seen. Whether through a book or a personalized session, my work is centered on celebrating their unique strengths and helping them navigate school with a big smile.
