About Dr. Dutilly
The Learning Scientist
Dr. Erik Dutilly helps students master the "how" of learning, not just the "what." After earning his Ph.D. at CU Boulder in Educational Psychology, he realized that bright students often struggle simply because they lack the cognitive infrastructure to manage their paper/online workloads. Drawing on diverse experience—from teaching at Centennial and Casey Middle Schools to working in the tech sector—Erik uses the science of Executive Function to turn academic chaos into a sustainable system for success.
The Boulder Community Member
Off the clock, Erik loves living in Boulder. A Wisconsin native with Puerto Rican roots, he traded the Midwest for the Flatirons over 15 years ago and never looked back. Whether he’s trail running, rock climbing, or playing music, he believes that discipline and adventure go hand in hand. He brings that same energy to his coaching—helping students find their footing so they can climb their own mountains.
