Henry Wetzel holds ten years of experience in education as a summer camp owner, academic coach, writer, and researcher. After graduating with honors from the University of Rochester, he opened a private practice focused on holistic academic coaching. He works with a diverse range of students, from those who need support in a single math course to families under unique circumstances who want to ensure a positive academic journey for their child.

With the goal of providing a holistic approach, Henry maintains a rigorous study to ensure a continued expertise of the western literary canon, k-12 mathematics, and an understanding of contemporary approaches to education, both in the U.S. and internationally. He has been a speaker in attendance at symposiums, seminars, and classes to stay current in the field.

In 2023, Henry founded Foghorn Education Center, a nature-based center offering summer camps, youth programs, field-trip expeditions, and an open-source online curriculum. His writing and research in education, children’s literature, and fiction have led to partnerships and publications with magazines, educational institutions, and think-tanks. As a guest speaker, he visits schools and institutions throughout the Pacific Northwest each year to share his approaches  on nature-based education.

With many students, a positive academic journey requires much more than a conceptual understanding of coursework. Confidence or the lack thereof can have profound consequences on a student’s academic performance. Executive functioning, scheduling, and academic curiosity can also shape the outcome of how a student learns. For these reasons, Henry focuses not only on tutoring, but on providing a comprehensive coaching experience in order to expand a student’s scholarly capability.

Henry’s passion for personalized education is rooted in his own experience. As a child, he was given an IEP for a supposed learning disability. This disability turned out to be a physical disability within his eyes, leaving him unable to read until age nine. Medical treatment unlocked his ability to learn and ignited a love for education. This journey drives his commitment to ensuring that every student has access to a truly personalized and empowering educational experience.
