ACADEMIC
LIFE COACHING
Helping young people build the skills, confidence and mindset to thrive - at school and in life.
I work with students to build organisation, confidence, and emotional resilience, so school feels more manageable again. It’s a practical, mindset-based approach that supports young people to perform well at school and feel well in themselves, especially during demanding periods of study, choices, and change. Parents are kept appropriately informed, while sessions remain student-led and supportive.
The Details
What is Academic Life Coaching?
If your child is:
- feeling out of their depth at High School
- lacking confidence and motivation
- requiring better time management skills
- struggling with stress management and resilience
- needing guidance with goal setting and decision making
- short of study strategies for success
- desperate for guidance on managing friendships
Academic Life Coaching can help.
EVEN BRIGHT, CAPABLE STUDENTS CAN STRUGGLE...
with motivation, confidence, organisation, and focus. It's not a lack of ability, it's just that in busy schools and homes, there's rarely regular, accessible one-to-one support available that helps kids build the skills and self-awareness to reach their full potential.
That's where academic coaching fits. IT is not tutoring or mentoring,
but structured coaching that helps students develop the mindset and practical tools to thrive - managing their time, staying focused, making good decisions, and feeling confident in themselves and their abilities. These skills will also help them when they step into the next stage of their lives, whether at home abroad.
This support can make all the difference, especially during
stressful periods like choosing GCSE or A Level options, preparing for university applications, or building the confidence to handle personal statements and interviews, Students often feel adrift during these times, but a coach can help them zone in on their concerns, teach them skills to get them through and let them know they aren't alone.
