EDUCATIONAL SERVICES WITH HEART
Learn. Improve. Grow.
Our Story
Our Story:
Nelson Notes LLC started in October of 2020 during COVID. We recognized and still recognize that many students were struggling and needed support for not just academics but also coaching topics like time management, study techniques, and even wellness.
We genuinely care about seeing students succeed. We know that learning issues are more complex than simply picking an educational environment (remote or in-person). Parents recognize that some students struggle both on-line and in-person, while other students have strong preferences about on-line or in person.
We see that really, it's connection that matters! Therefore, our coaching, tutoring, and workshops are designed for engagement with 1:1 venues for coaching and tutoring and small class sizes for all workshops. That way, your student gets engagement, individual help with technology, and partners who care.
Our Goal:
Our goal is to provide every student (of every age) customized educational outcomes delivered virtually in engaging ways, and reinforced with high-quality resources.
Our Vision:
Our vision is to seek to care about individuals authentically, practically, and strategically by helping people learn, improve, and grow in a wide variety of contexts.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide outstanding, personal, and timely educational experiences to students of all ages. From training to coaching, tutoring to teaching, curriculum design to editing, our services are designed to be personal, meaningful and educational.

Why the name Nelson Notes?
Hand-written notes are often meaningful, sometimes educational, and always personal. At the heart of a great note is the desire to communicate meaningful, relevant, and uplifting information in a personal way. The name “Nelson Notes” is a good example of the literary technique “alliteration” which combines two initial consonant forms to make something more memorable.
The idea for “Nelson Notes” came from the one simple idea. Carol Nelson wanted to start a company with relational connections and growth as central. So, the name could really connect any coach and any student with any name, and still fall under the idea of a “Nelson Note."
So, really, the term “notes” is in some ways more important that the name “Nelson” because the company name is really a metaphor or symbol for meaningful, educational and personal connections.
Our Founder
Carol Nelson, the founder of Nelson Notes LLC, is a dedicated educator, trainer, writer, and mother with over 25 years of experience spanning professional, school, and homeschool educational settings. Her career reflects a deep commitment to helping learners of all ages learn, improve, and grow.
A graduate of George Mason University with a BA in English Literature, Carol began her professional journey in editing and graphic design. Her expertise in these fields led to a transition into technical training, where she instructed individual, corporate, government, and business clients in the Washington, D.C., area on software applications.
After several successful years in corporate technical training, Carol embraced one of her most challenging and rewarding roles: homeschooling her three children. Working closely with a homeschool umbrella team, she served as a reviewer, mentor, and coordinator, supporting individual educators and parents in creating dynamic learning experiences.
Carol’s career has since expanded to include partnerships with schools, after-school programs, educational startups, and small businesses. Her expertise encompasses program management, training, teaching, writing, and curriculum design, all informed by her classical education background with a modern, technological approach.
As a teacher, Carol has instructed literature, writing, and logic in private Classical Education schools, where she combined her passion for timeless educational principles with innovative strategies. She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Christian Education and Biblical Counseling at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, further enhancing her ability to serve and support learners of all ages.
Today as the founder of Nelson Notes LLC, she remains deeply devoted to fostering compassionate, supportive, diverse, and engaging educational experiences through Christian Coaching, Academic Coaching, Literacy Coaching, Tutoring, and Training.
The Gospel
If you’re alive and breathing, you have a worldview—everyone does. Our worldview is Christian. We acknowledge our own bias, just as we recognize that everyone has their own. Yet, we firmly believe that today offers an opportunity to reach beyond those biases, to love one another, and to walk together in unity. For this reason, we respectfully and compassionately serve individuals from diverse worldviews.
The Gospel matters because it remains good news. At its core, the Gospel can be summarized in four simple words: "Jesus in my place." This is the transformative truth that Jesus lived a perfect life, died as a perfect and substitutionary sacrifice, and offers freedom to those who trust in Him. This means you no longer need to strive to measure up—regardless of how broken you feel, how unjustly you’ve been treated, or how many mistakes you’ve made.
As J.D. Greear writes in his book The Gospel, “The good news of the gospel is that Jesus lived the life we were supposed to live and died our death.” Greear also reminds us that, as Peter declares, this is the gospel that saves us—a truth that calls for a response: to hear, repent, and believe.
The joy of the Gospel frees us to serve others with love and compassion as the foundation of all we do. It empowers us to care deeply and meaningfully for each individual, bringing hope and kindness to the forefront of our actions.
