My sessions will provide a calm, supportive space where students can talk through their workload and develop practical strategies to feel organised and confident in their studies. Rather than traditional subject tutoring, my focus is on coaching/mentoring, helping students plan coursework, manage deadlines, develop effective study habits, and reduce feelings of overwhelm.

Sessions usually begin with a short check-in to understand what the student is currently working on and what feels most challenging. Together we will break larger tasks into manageable steps, set realistic goals, and create a simple plan for the week ahead. This helps students feel more in control of their workload and build confidence as they begin to see progress.

I will take time to understand how each student learns best and any barriers they may be experiencing. Taking a holistic approach, we may also look at practical factors that support focus and wellbeing, such as study routines, taking breaks, staying hydrated, getting fresh air, or using activities like music or movement to reset concentration.

I bring 38 years of experience working in NHS leadership roles supporting staff through complex situations, providing mentoring, guidance, and practical problem-solving skills. I have also informally supported a friend’s postgraduate student during their Master’s degree through Covid, helping them organise their studies and coursework, which resulted in successful completion.

My aim is to encourage motivation, resilience, and self-confidence while helping students stay accountable and develop a positive and balanced approach to learning, supported by my experience in creating safe, encouraging, and structured environments.
