“Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.” – Brad Henry

Welcome to Restorative Tutors

Hello, I’m Dr. Lorena Bathey.

Schools and families cannot truly change without addressing trauma.

At Restorative Tutors, we support families, educators, and school leaders in understanding how trauma impacts behavior, relationships, and learning. Through restorative practices and trauma-informed strategies, we help create environments where individuals feel safe, connected, and empowered.

Our work focuses on healing, connection, and building futures where every learner and family can thrive.

Our Approach

Behavior is communication. Using a holistic, trauma-informed approach, Restorative Tutors supports families and educators to shift mindsets, build confidence, and strengthen communication.

Restorative practices successfully address the root causes of behavior by listening first.

When students feel heard, supported, and connected, many behaviors linked to trauma begin to decrease. This approach builds stronger relationships, improves emotional well-being, and creates lasting change for families, classrooms, and entire school communities.
