​
Why use an Academic Coach?
-
Because lectures or a rushed tutorial with an over-worked lecturer is a common part of university life - and possibly the worst way to learn.
​​
-
Because it can be hard to stay motivated and focussed.
​​
-
Because if you have a learning difference it can be hard to get the help you need, when need it.
​
-
Because being an international student at an English-speaking university can mean you struggle to understand lectures, feel homesick and isolated.​
​
Then, with nowhere to turn, your university experience becomes a nightmare and failure becomes inevitable...
​
As an Academic Coach with over 25 years experience, I can provide everything you need to overcome these hurdles, and excel with your degree – however challenging the situation.
My ethos
University should be more than just academic achievement. It should be a positive and life-enhancing experience – an opportunity to excel, build lifelong skills, confidence and resilience. Culture, language and learning difference should never be an obstacle to learning – in fact, they can be an advantage.
​
I believe that spending consistent, quality time with each student is essential for academic achievement. I treat each of my students as an individual on a journey of intellectual and personal growth, providing them with the tailored skills and support they need to excel beyond expectation.

How academic coaching works
By identifying how you learn, and your individual challenges, I provide bespoke, comprehensive coaching to support your university study. This is provided tailored to your specific needs.
-
I offer pastoral and wellbeing support - especially important if you are studying away from family, or if English is not your first language.
​
-
If you have a learning difference or preference that makes study more difficult, especially within mainstream University education, this is also no problem.
