Academic Mentoring

Applying to university is about crafting a strong, authentic application that reflects a student’s strengths, passions, and ambitions. I offer expert guidance for both UK and US applications, helping students develop compelling personal statements, structure their application strategy, and align their academic journey with their long-term goals.

US Applications

US applications require a different approach, one that tells a student’s story through essays, extracurriculars, and a well-rounded application. I help students navigate this complex process, ensuring they highlight what makes them unique while meeting the expectations of top-tier schools.

UK Applications

I guide students through the UCAS process, helping them refine personal statements, choose the right courses, and position themselves as strong candidates for competitive universities.

Kids Life Coaching

Children today face an overwhelming number of pressures, from school expectations and social dynamics to the increasing influence of technology. Many feel disconnected from their own strengths and are unsure of what truly excites them.Parents and teachers often focus on academic achievement, but personal growth, emotional intelligence, and self-belief are just as important. Without the right support, children can become stuck in patterns of self-doubt and struggle to see their potential.That’s where coaching comes in. Through play-based techniques and positive psychology, I help children build confidence, resilience, and self-awareness in a way that feels natural and engaging. Play isn’t just about having fun; it’s how children process the world around them.By using creative, hands-on activities, I guide them to explore their strengths, develop problem-solving skills, and gain the mindset tools to grow and succeed on their own terms.When kids feel empowered, they take ownership of their choices and their future, not because they’re told to, but because they believe they can.

Mentoring & Coaching Combined

For students who need both guidance and motivation, I offer a holistic consultancy that ties together life coaching and academic mentoring.
I help students uncover what truly drives them, free from external pressures. Then, using my understanding of motivation and personal development, I help them turn that self-discovery into action - whether that’s applying to university, exploring career paths, or setting meaningful goals. In essence, I help students find their ‘why’ and then show them how to get there.
