Power-Up Academics
Middle School, high school, and college
Today’s demanding lifestyle often leaves individuals frustrated over academics & behavior concerns that prohibited students from meeting their potential.
If you find yourself experiencing conflict over school and homework with your child, then academic coaching may be a perfect place to start.
I focus on targeted skill sets to create strategies to enhance performance skills and create reproducible systems that support academic success and independent learning skills.
Middle school, high school and college level skill building is available.
For students in the lower grades parent sessions are included to support their success.

Middle/high school can create stress for the student and home environment.
Arguments over assignments, grades, and sometimes attitude can escalate the exchange.
Academic skill building is not tutoring. It is a system for maintaining academic responsibility while creating independent learning.
It teaches communication skills, organizational skills and ownership.
It supports parents and guardians to create a new learning environment with a clear set of expectations and resources for change.
College Academic Skill Sessions

The transition from high school to college can be very difficult.
Skills utilized in college are not the same as those learned in high school.
Grades do not represent how smart someone is but rather the systems used to learn.
Because the systems in high school are different from college, academic success can be difficult and slow to experience.
Academ success is based on how well your systems work.
If you are struggling in college and unhappy with your GPA, consider academic coaching.

Learning and behavior concerns can often go hand-in-hand. Arguments over homework, assignments not handed in, and missing classes at the higher level.
Discomfort in learning connected to low grades and not knowing how to change those outcomes can produce distraction behaviors or what I call Exit Strategies. Exit Strategies are what youth and college students do to avoid feeling bad. This causes a continuous circle of dissatisfaction and friction.
It is important to remember:
- Grades do not represent how smart someone is but are a reflection of the systems they use.
- Systems are always evolving and need to be changed to meet academic and personal success.
I work to teach and build new more productive systems through skills sessions and shift recognition. The new customized systems are practiced under guided coaching to become habitual, done without thought, like muscle memory.
Coaching sessions focus on reducing conflicts within families, fostering positive relationships, and achieving personal growth. I am here to support you on your journey towards personal growth and transformation.
