Unbound Education for students

Unbound Education offers students a range of highly tailored coaching, mentoring and tutoring services.

I believe all teenagers can excel both in school and in life. My role as a coach is to unlock a student's talent, help them find their passions and prepare them for a rewarding future.

The challenges

Every student is different but these are some issues I have encountered after 20 years of working with adolescents:

Motivation issues and low enthusiasm for learning
The school system tending towards a one size fits all approach: individual needs are often neglected
Special learning situations such as home learning, parent sabbaticals
Low grades or exam results, poor school reports
Identifying next steps such as curriculum, university or career choices
Lack of direction
Stress
Transition: moving countries, schools, educations systems or homes

My philosophy: The 4 pillars

These 4 pillars form the backbone of my coaching, mentoring and Maths tutoring approach at Unbound Education:

Purpose

Finding true meaning and direction in the choices we make. Identifying our values.

Relationships

Developing the way we interact and connect with others. Building social skillls.

Growth

Developing intellectually and emotionally, building skills and reflecting on our progress.

Happiness

Finding peace, joy, fun within a healthy environment. Becoming more resilient.
