An initial consultation meeting lasts an hour. After that, it totally depends on what you want to achieve - all coaching is bespoke to your family’s wants and needs but direct coaching is 1 hour a month. See 'coaching packages' for more information.We can develop a pathway where support is filtered into the everyday and appears ‘invisible’ to the child - this would be a zero additional hours approach.Or we can create a pathway that includes clear, set aside study time with intention and purpose.

Yes. We can discuss exactly what this might look like for your child in school and/or get a clearer understanding of what your child already receives in school. We can explore strategies to support your child in the home.

No. I have 15 years of classroom experience and know what teaching and school interventions might look like for children with a SEN but I cannot diagnose your child. We can explore common traits and discuss potential pathways to follow this up but most importantly, delve into what you hope to achieve from a diagnosis.

Yes. Although this is not the focus of Family Education Coaching, I do have some availability for 1:1 or small group teaching. I can combine family coaching with 1:1 tutoring in a more comprehensive family package.

This is completely up to you. Together, we can explore your family dynamics and your child’s personality and needs and choose a pathway that best meets the needs of everyone.

Yes. I believe relationships are the key to success, especially when it comes to personal struggles. Family Education Coaching needs to be open, honest and relatable and I believe this is best done in person. However, finding the time to meet in person can be challenging for many people and families so remote coaching will always be a possibility.

I studied for a degree in Sports Management at the University of Plymouth and then completed a Post Graduate Certification in Education (PGCE) at the University College of St Mark and St John (MARJON), Plymouth. I gained my Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) working in my first school in Exeter city centre.I have a National Professional Qualification for Leading Teaching (NPQLT). This is a qualification designed for experienced teachers and equips them to effectively lead teaching within their schools.

I am based in Exeter, Devon. I travel 30 minutes from my base at no extra cost. Mileage costs are included in all journeys. To offer a wider service for families, I will travel further but journeys that exceed 30 minutes will require additional time expenses. For more information, see the bottom of 'Coaching Packages'.
