Pivot Mentoring was founded by Julian Caravantes and Jessica Sperrazzo to help students and young adults overcome their ADHD and executive functioning challenges and maximize their potential to achieve their personal, academic, and professional goals.

Growing up, Julian's ADHD caused him to struggle with school and carrying out monotonous tasks. After quitting medication due to negative experiences, he developed techniques and routines in order for him to succeed despite his unmedicated deficiencies. Discovering these coping strategies empowered Julian to help his little brother manage issues with ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia, which ignited a passion in him for helping others develop skills that would positively impact their lives. After college, Julian joined an EdTech company focused on improving student outcomes. Wanting to further develop his passion, Julian co-founded Pivot Mentoring to share his knowledge and experiences with ADHD to improve the lives of others experiencing the same troubles he faced. Julian graduated magna cum laude and obtained his Bachelor's Degree from Occidental College in Pre-Law Economics.

As the oldest of five, Jess has a natural aptitude for teaching others to effectively manage their lives. Her experiences growing up sparked her passion for providing kids and young adults of all developmental stages and backgrounds the support they need to succeed, which led her to pursue a path in education. During her time in the classroom, Jess adapted her teaching strategies after observing that her students with ADHD needed additional support. Jess cofounded Pivot Mentoring in recognition of the positive impact of her uniquely powerful teaching methodologies. Her hope is to expand her reach and support others who struggle with ADHD and executive functioning challenges in their daily lives. Jess obtained her Master's Degree from UC San Diego in Education and her Bachelor's Degree from Cal Poly SLO in Education with a concentration in Child Development.

Julian and Jess are a dynamic and driven couple that share a common passion for helping students and young adults lay a strong foundation for their futures. Pivot Mentoring was born of personal experience and professional application. Together they focus on providing their clients with the skills, habits and routines necessary to break through the obstacles that are hindering them from reaching their full potential in school and work.
