1:1 Student Coaching
After high school, ready or not, the real world awaits. I coach students in practical real life skills to fill the gap between what school teaches and what is needed in the real world so that when they leave the home, they can manage their time and have the confidence to live according to their personal values, unswayed by those around them.
Skills Attained
Time Management
Homework, sports, friends, family, & other activities all demand a student's time. Without a plan for when to get what done, homework can easily become too overwhelming & therefore procrastinated until the last minute. I work with students to help them plan out their homework each week in a way that feels attainable to them.
Stress Management
School can be stressful on all levels: tests, drama with friends, excelling in sports. I give students the tools in their belt to know how to respond in stressful situations: how to breathe to calm the nervous system before a test, how to handle conflict with friends / family in an honoring way; how to understand and validate emotions.
Goal Setting
Life is so much more than making good grades. When students get their grades under control, then it's time to dream. We rate the 12 areas of life to bring awareness to what is going well and what needs some help. We then create goals for the end of the semester and each week make very simple baby steps toward them.
Confidence
Because high school is such a phase of transition from childhood to adulthood, students often walk through a time of figuring out how to view themselves. During this developmental stage, I work with students to grow in confidence so they can trow off insecurities and show up as themselves without fear of judgement.
Parent Support
Keeping parents in the loop, I offer messaging support throughout the week so that you don't feel like you are walking this alone but have a professional to brainstorm ideas of how to best support your student; whether that is implementing new boundaries in the home, replacing certain foods with a healthier version (we do a fun pantry makeover), or simply creating new ways to grow your relationship with your student while they are still under your roof.
"Caroline guided my son through the transition from middle to high school. She worked with him weekly set a schedule and get the work done. She provided him with the tools to succeed. We continue to work with Caroline on daily routines. She also gave my child the confidence he needed. We are very fortunate to have found Caroline! I recommend her to anyone!"
