I hear you.
SCHOOL IS CAUSING MAJOR HEADACHES AT HOME
Your time is precious and when you see your child after school, you want quality time- not quarreling time.
You want them to be happy.
You want them to be successful.
You want your child to thrive at school, not struggle
BUT... your concern isn’t translating into your teen’s language.
WHAT IF...
THIS SCHOOL YEAR
WAS EASIER?
I help empower students to:
-Rebuild their academic confidence
-Become self-advocates
-Create study strategies that work for them
-Take charge of their school experience
HOW DOES ACADEMIC COACHING WORK EXACTLY?
Each session is driven by the needs of the student, not the parent.
Say what?
Sorry parents, but your child will be large and in charge of what they want to work on.
Don’t worry- you would be surprised how often your wants and your child’s wants align!
IN WEEKLY 50-MINUTE SESSIONS...
We break down all the things that lead to school year stress.
We create strategies, driven by your child’s learning needs, that
pivot us from melt-down to awesomeness.
During the week, I work behind the scenes to see
how your kiddo is navigating these changes.
You will have a clear vision of how their habits and goals are
impacting their school life, through personalized graphs.
Parents have said one of the biggest benefits of coaching (besides seeing their teen less frustrated with school) is they can be a parent and not a nag.
It really is a team effort.
ACADEMIC COACHING IS PERFECT FOR STUDENTS WHO:
Struggle to find meaning in school
Lose homework in the black hole of their backpack
Wrestle with perfectionism
Have learning differences or are twice exceptional
Study hard but don’t get the results they want
Need to rebuild academic confidence
Face the overwhelm of advanced classes

He doesn't seem to be as frustrated and aggravated with his schoolwork now. He seems more relaxed and taking an adult approach to handling assignments.
-Michael, Parent of an 11th grader
In short, it is everything a school counselor trains to do-but private!
People ask if I am a tutor- Heck no! A tutor works on content in one specific class or revisits assignments given in class.
Your child needs more than that. They need skills that can carry over to ALL their classes.
Parents have asked if coaching is a form of enabling. Nope!
My goal is to have every student take what they learn and rock it in the real world.
The plan is to phase out support based on the student’s needs.
I still check in with my former students to see how they are doing. My kiddos know I love a good virtual fist bump, and I love hearing about their success!

[Working with Marni] helped me to have someone in my corner that wasn't concerned with discipline, and was more there to help me when I needed it.
