Mariaemma
Pelullo-Willis was born and grew up in Southern California. She attended
California State University Northridge where she received a B.S.
in Psychology. She holds a Master's degree in Education, and California
Life Teaching Credentials for Regular and Special Education. She
has been developing educational programs and conducting workshops
for parents and teachers for more than 20 years.
Mariaemma was the director of a private learning center for children with learning
disabilities before going into private practice. After 13 years of assessing
and treating children and adults for learning "dysfunctions" she
knew that she could no longer follow this erroneous and harmful model of education
and began researching alternatives. For the last 16 years her passion has been
guiding children and their families to understand and appreciate their natural
gifts and abilities, and helping adults recuperate from negative school experiences
that keep them from discovering their passions and potentials.
Mariaemma has worked with and spoken to thousands of children and parents as
well as homeschooling families and classroom teachers, assessing learning styles,
diagnosing school problems, designing customized curriculum plans, and teaching
techniques and strategies that allow children to learn. She has also conducted
training programs for literacy volunteers throughout Southern California, taught
LearningSuccess™ strategies in correctional facilities, has developed
assessment and teaching procedures for adult students, and has written books
for parents and teachers. With Victoria she co-founded the LearningSuccess™ Institute
and co-authored A Self-Portrait™ Learning Style System, Mid-Life
Crisis Begins in Kindergarten, and Discover Your Child's Learning Style.
Mariaemma currently lives in Ventura, California with her husband, Ron, and
poodle, Sophi. In her "spare" time she loves to read and garden.
Hobbies include nutrition, holistic health, interior design, and personal development.
