Shelby Mace

Hello, I'm Shelby. I help students build the confidence, organisation, and study habits they need to thrive academically and enjoy learning again.

With a background in psychology and years of professional experience supporting children, young people, and families, I understand that academic success isn't just about intelligence—it's about having the right strategies, mindset, and support. My coaching is designed to help students overcome challenges such as procrastination, low confidence, exam stress, and feeling overwhelmed by their workload.

I take a personalised and encouraging approach, working alongside each student to identify what's holding them back and develop practical strategies that fit their individual needs. Whether you're preparing for exams, transitioning to a new stage of education, or struggling to stay motivated, I'll help you build the skills needed to become a more independent and confident learner.

Rather than simply focusing on grades, my goal is to help students develop lifelong learning habits that will benefit them throughout school, university, and beyond.

I Can Support Students With:

* Study skills and effective revision techniques
* Time management and organisation
* Exam preparation and reducing exam anxiety
* Goal setting and maintaining motivation
* Building confidence and resilience
* Managing workload and avoiding procrastination
* Transitioning to secondary school, sixth form, or university
* Developing independent learning skills
* Creating personalised study plans and routines
* Accountability and ongoing encouragement

My Qualifications and Experience

* BSc (Hons) Psychology
* Postgraduate Diploma in Working with Children, Young People and Families (Psychoanalytic Observational Approach)
* Extensive experience supporting children, young people, and families within education and social care
* Strong understanding of child and adolescent development, learning, wellbeing, and motivation

I believe every student can succeed when they're equipped with the right tools and supported in a way that recognises their individual strengths. My coaching provides a safe, encouraging space where students can build confidence, develop effective learning strategies, and achieve their academic goals at a pace that works for them.
