Hi, I’m Edie Brown—educator, academic therapist, and unapologetic math nerd. But more than anything, I’m a champion for neurodivergent learners.

With over a decade of experience in Montgomery County Public Schools as a math, English, and special education teacher—and years working as an academic therapist and former clinic director—I’ve spent my entire career helping students who think differently thrive in environments that often weren’t built with them in mind.

At Edie Loves Math, I bring classroom expertise and community-based support together to create a space where kids with ADHD and Autism can build confidence, master math, and feel seen.

Why Parents Trust Me

Parents tell me the same thing over and over:
“You get it in a way other people don’t.”

And it’s true. I’m not just trained in this—I live it. I have a neurodiverse brain, too. That means I understand the late-night stress before a test, the overwhelm when numbers don’t click, and the frustration when your child feels like they’re falling behind even though they’re trying so hard.

But I also know how to help. My approach blends:

Research-backed academic therapy
Executive function support
Hands-on learning designed for real brains in real life

Whether it’s solving for x or managing the mental load, I help students build the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
