Dr. Maggie Wray

Dr. Maggie Wray is an ICF-certified Academic Life Coach and ADHD coach, with a Ph.D. in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell and a Bachelor’s in Astrophysics from Princeton.

She has enjoyed teaching for as long as she can remember. More recently, she tutored students for the SAT and ACT and taught for 5 years at Cornell. Throughout all of her teaching experiences, what she has loved most is developing relationships with her students and inspiring them to adopt a more positive mindset about school and themselves.

She is passionate about helping students develop the skills they need to be successful in life and believes that many of the skills that are most essential to students’ long-term life success are not being taught in school.

She founded Creating Positive Futures in 2012 to help fill that gap, by helping students develop the executive skills, mindset, and study skills they need to excel in school but are often not learning in the classroom. Her unique coaching programs combine research-based strategies about neurobiology and the psychology of learning with the lessons she learned as a student at two Ivy League universities and her experiences teaching and coaching hundreds of teens over the past 10 years.
