I believe improving within education is driven by the student. My sessions are not specific to one subject, they are available to students who need guidance with the overall experience of being a student. I can help you to make specific targets, create a plan, hold you accountable and offer guidance as to how to meet the targets set. But i cannot do the work for you, that has to come from you.

In my experience students often need to find a desire, something that drives them to achieving the grade they want. That's what I can help you with. I have helped students to find a reason why, and build an emotional attachment with it so they can push through when they really don't want to. I have helped students to identify their own method of learning, progressing and achieving success. But perhaps most importantly I have helped students to find enjoyment within the journey, to change their outlook on education and feel positive about attending classes, seminars and completing work.

In a typical session I will help you to identify where you feel the most challenged (i.e. Motivation, understanding the subject, time management), dig into why, make some targets for the coming month, create a plan to achieve the targets and look at possible obstacles to overcome. It is centered around you, a lot of it will be me asking questions and poking around till you feel we have the answer to your success.
