Separate courses for teens and young Adults

Coaching

I believe that for success in this world, people need:

  • a sense of who they are,

  • a purpose or direction to go in,

  • a plan for getting there,

  • a way to evaluate their plan, and

  • the skills necessary to evaluate and adapt their plan if needed.

Teenagers and young adults are just coming into their own. They are uncovering and discovering who they are and what they want out of life. Many times, they lack critical skills to help them on their way. Skills such as:

  • self-awareness,

  • goal-setting and evaluating,

  • self-advocacy,

  • avoiding thinking traps,

  • nourishing a growth-mindset,

  • effective communication,

  • time-management

When these skills are missing, it can result in struggles at home or school, inability to find a job or keep a job, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, disorganization, constantly being late or missing deadlines…

THROUGH MY PERSONALIZED APPROACH

I help teens and young adults:

  • Develop self-awareness to clearly understand their strengths, challenges, and dreams.

  • Learn how to set goals and monitor their progress.

  • Create plans and develop strategies for overcoming obstacles.

  • Evaluate progress and reflect on their goals and strategies, adapting as needed.

  • Celebrate achievements!

Academic Support

I partner with teens and young adults to make the connection between what they are learning, their dreams, and their lives.

I support effective communication with instructors through strengthening self-awareness and self-advocacy skills.

I provide academic support for various courses while developing problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
