Sueda Ciftci

Hi, I’m Sueda: an ICF-certified coach, trained teacher and PhD researcher at Southampton. If exams stress you out or you keep putting things off, we’ll sort it out together. In our first online session, we turn what’s worrying you into one or two clear goals. Each week we check what worked, tackle one thing (a revision plan you’ll stick to, procrastination, exam nerves, confidence), and you leave with small, specific steps. You’ll learn study techniques that work, time management and mindset tools for motivation. Sessions are in English or Turkish. Your first 30-minute call is free.

A bit more about me: I’ve coached 100+ hours, including clients dealing with exam stress, using simple tools like the GROW model for goals and the Circle of Control for worry. I trained as a teacher, then spent nearly three years in AI research at the University of Warwick and the Alan Turing Institute, where I co-supervised undergraduate students and managed research assistants. I did my Master’s in the UK in my second language, so I know what it feels like to adapt under pressure. I’m a coach, not a therapist, and with under-18s, I agree with parents at the start on what gets shared.
