Help your child learn about and appreciate their gifts

and THRIVE in school and life.

 

Children are full of wisdom and inner knowing. Through coaching and tutoring, Christine helps students understand and appreciate their unique gifts as they get in touch with their own wisdom. Navigating school, learning, friendships, achievement, and interests can be hard, even when you are gifted. (And, depending who you are, maybe even especially because you are gifted!) By looking at thought patterns and beliefs that might get in the way of feeling successful in academic and social situations, students learn how their gifts are their superpowers, not a curse.  Coaching and tutoring helps students appreciate themselves and follow their passions and honor their learning style which can help them develop strategies for coping in today’s high pressure, fast paced, demanding world.

 

Coaching sessions are usually 45 - 60 minutes in length and consist of conversation to address questions, areas of low satisfaction, or issues students have related to their giftedness. 

​

Tutoring sessions are usually 45-60 minutes in length. During sessions, students can work on study skills, strategies for success in school, homework assignments, or work on specific academic areas. Additionally, time can be used to guide students in pursing passion projects outside of assigned schoolwork.  In essence, this is 'coaching in context' because children learn a lot about who they are and their giftedness through the lens of schoolwork.
