Academic life & executive function coaching

“I would like to say thanks for your support of our son’s learning and for all your efforts in helping him towards his VCE exams.  It has been a memorable year for him, and I cannot imagine how he would have coped if you hadn’t been there to guide him. Without a doubt, our family environment has been a lot calmer this year because you were there to scaffold his organisation and planning.  And our son felt more confident in his exams because you encouraged him to go through more practice papers than he would have otherwise.

Thank you Amanda. I hope that you get a bit of time to relax over the holidays, and we hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas break!”

“Clear, concise, examples (when discussing bullet points), analogies, variety of context, video presentations, photo/picture samples, suited a wide range of students – there’s bound to be something that works for each individual – In other words your presentation had everything”

“I actually engaged Amanda’s expertise for the transition workshop last year for a group of year 6 parents and children.  They loved it and so did we as parents.  I wish all schools offered this to year 6 children so worth it!  My daughter got a lot from this workshop – thanks Amanda”

‘As someone who really struggled to find the motivation to study, having someone like Amanda to help me through my secondary school and VCE studies was extremely beneficial as she was someone who would hold me accountable and help me schedule my time, making it easier to start the revision process. She was also able to give me lots of useful study tips and provided support during a stressful time.’

The organising workshop was practical and included elements of transition which are relevant to all Year sixes, regardless of their chosen school.

It provided them with different skills they would need, a useful video of year 7s talking about what they faced and it definitely got our students thinking about secondary school earlier than they otherwise would have.
