About Us
Our Founder: A Roadmap Built from Experience
Therise Edwards doesn’t just study education—she’s mastered the system from the inside out. As a single parent who navigated public, private, and homeschool environments, Therise knows the exhaustion of trying to find the “right” path for a child.
She founded Teshley Solutions because she proved that with the right strategy, the “impossible” is achievable: her own daughter earned a Master’s degree in Special Education by age 22, entirely debt-free.
Today, Therise pairs that personal triumph with over 20 years of professional expertise in community outreach and student advocacy. She doesn’t just give advice; she gives parents the “insider playbook” to bypass the struggles she’s seen firsthand, ensuring your child doesn’t just survive the K-12 system, but excels within it.
Our Mission: Cutting Through the Chaos
You shouldn’t have to be an expert in school policy just to get your child the education they deserve. We take the guesswork out of the K-12 journey by identifying the exact roadblocks holding your student back. They might be academic, social, or systemic. We don’t just “sift through noise”; we give you a clear, personalized roadmap so your child can leave high school confident and ready for what’s next.
If that’s college, your child will know how to do it debt-free.

How We Support Families
Because education isn’t one-size-fits-all, neither is our support. From free deep-dives on our Education Unpacked YouTube channel to intensive one-on-one strategy sessions, we provide the tools you need at a price that fits your budget. When you schedule a consultation, you aren’t just “sharing your story”—you’re gaining a dedicated advocate who knows how to turn educational “deficiencies” into success stories.
Our Approach
Moving from “Getting By” to “Getting Ahead”
Our Approach: We don’t just watch from the sidelines; we tackle the educational system from every angle to ensure your child isn’t left behind. When the school’s plan isn’t working—or if your child has hit a wall—we step in to bridge the gap.
Our approach is built on three pillars of advocacy:
🔹 Know Your Rights: We arm you with the legal and systemic knowledge to ensure your student receives every accommodation and resource they are entitled to.
🔹 The “Inside-Out” Strategy: We teach you how to work with teachers and administrators as a respected partner, turning potential conflicts into collaborative solutions.
🔹 Resource Mapping: We identify the supplemental tools and community connections needed to set your child on the path to success.
We don’t just help you “work within the system”; we show you how to lead it to achieve the best possible outcome for your family.
The Art of Collaboration:
Master the high-level communication skills needed to turn school administrators into your child’s biggest allies.
Opening Doors Beyond the Classroom:
We show you how to develop local community and corporate partnerships to secure the internships, mentorships, and real-world “exposure” that make your child’s college applications and resumes impossible to ignore.
The Business of Education:
Learn to apply professional decision-making tools to higher education planning, ensuring your child’s degree is a strategic investment, not a financial burden.
