Highly experienced, qualified motivational coach for 14+; ex-Senior Tutor Goldsmiths University

Struggling with motivation? Finding it hard to focus? I specialise in motivational coaching and study skills for teenagers and young adults, helping students build confidence, resilience, and self-motivation through Positive Psychology techniques. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and Lifetime Achievement Award Winner for Drama, with a Post Graduate Certificate (Distinction) in Coaching & Mentoring for Education Practitioners.

As a Senior Tutor at Goldsmiths, University of London, I successfully supported students at risk of dropping out, helping them rediscover their strengths and develop strategies to stay on track. My approach is practical, encouraging, and tailored to each individual — I focus on what already works for you and build from there.

I create a positive, supportive space where students feel understood and capable. By identifying personal strengths and learning styles, I help students overcome procrastination, manage stress, and develop independent study habits that set them up for success.

I start with a 90-minute assessment and then create a tailored block of sessions, typically an hour and fifteen minutes long each, to work on challenges the student identifies for themselves.
