My one-to-one life skills study training is designed to help you, as a student from GCSE to university, to develop practical skills that support both your academic success and everyday life. Each session will be tailored to your individual needs, focusing on the areas such as time management, effective study habits, communication, problem-solving, goal-setting, and confidence-building.

The aim is to give you tools you can use immediately to improve your learning, manage stress, and make decisions more effectively.
Lessons are interactive and personalised for you. Activities may include planning your study schedule, practising presentation or writing skills, tackling real-life scenarios, or working through challenges in a supportive environment. As it is one-to-one, you can ask questions freely, explore strategies that suit your learning style, and receive immediate feedback to help you improve.

My teaching style is flexible, combining practical exercises, discussion, reflection, and creative problem-solving, encouraging you to be able to think critically about your own habits, strengths, and areas for growth, whilst looking to help you to set achievable goals that support both your studies and personal development.

Working with me will provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to develop at your own pace. By the end of the training, you will feel more confident in managing your time, studies, and personal challenges, equipped with practical strategies that help you succeed academically, personally, and socially. You will also gain skills that can be applied to future work, interviews, and life beyond school or university, giving you a strong foundation for independence and long-term success.
