Who it’s for
- Primary and secondary students who struggle with organisation, homework, or study routines
- Students with attention and self-regulation needs (including ADHD traits)
- Teens navigating exam stress, motivation, and increasing workload expectations
Common concerns
- “Forgets everything” — books, deadlines, instructions, or what the teacher said
- Slow to start tasks, avoids effortful work, or gets stuck on perfection
- Homework taking hours, conflicts at home, or inconsistent performance
- Poor planning for projects and exams
- Low confidence and negative self-talk around school
How we help
- Identify the smallest “bottleneck” skills (initiation, planning, working memory, time awareness)
- Teach tools: checklists, routines, planning templates, and self-monitoring
- Build sustainable habits with short practice tasks between sessions
- Coach caregivers on prompting, praise, and scaffolding — without constant nagging
- Coordinate with school for practical accommodations when needed
What you can expect
- Goal-setting with student and parents (we keep goals specific and measurable)
- Skill-building sessions with real school materials
- Home practice plan (10–15 minutes a day is often enough when consistent)
- Review and refinement: we adapt tools to what actually works
Next steps
- Contact us with the student’s age/year and the main daily pain points.
- We’ll recommend an initial focus (homework routine, planning, exam study, or self-management).
- Start with a short block of sessions, then review progress and next steps.
FAQs
Is coaching only for students with ADHD?
No. Executive skill coaching can help many students, including those with stress, learning differences, or simply a mismatch between expectations and current habits.
Will you teach study skills?
Yes — including planning, spaced practice, note-taking, and how to start and sustain revision. We tailor methods to the student’s learning profile and subject demands.
How involved do parents need to be?
Parent involvement is important because home routines drive consistency. We aim to reduce conflict by making prompting predictable and time-limited.
Do you provide tutoring?
Coaching focuses on learning processes and self-management rather than teaching school content. If tutoring is needed, we can suggest how to align tutoring with the student’s learning profile.
How long does coaching take?
Some students benefit from a short, targeted block; others need longer support during transitions (e.g., moving to secondary school). We review progress and adjust the plan.
Can you liaise with the school?
With consent, yes. We can recommend classroom strategies and help ensure expectations at home and school are aligned.
