Coaching Programs: Executive Functions, Spanish, English, and Learning to Learn.
Welcome to our innovative, one-on-one online coaching program designed for Spanish and English speakers aged 11-18. Our mission is to improve social-emotional skills, teach students how to effectively communicate with their brains to enhance learning, and help them acquire Spanish or English naturally. Our goal is to create confident, lifelong learners who not only achieve language proficiency but also excel academically and develop healthy personal habits.
We utilize the Meta-Learning DeStress Method, teaching students how their brains work, enabling them to learn how to learn without stress and optimize their brain functions. Our Customized Toolbox shows your child how to work smarter, not harder, keeping them motivated and engaged in their learning journey.
Our Mind Catalyst sessions equip students with mindfulness techniques, helping them to stop overthinking, feel less overwhelmed, and stay focused on the present moment.
For students in traditional classrooms, we provide support to help them catch up with their classmates, drawing on our 20+ years of public school teaching experience. For homeschool students, we bring diverse cultures to life through current events, music, photos from our travels, and videos of native speakers, providing authentic learning experiences. For students recently arrived in the US, we guide them through the systems and programs at their school, ensuring they don’t navigate it alone.
We use language in a comprehensible way, allowing students to engage in Spanish or English from the beginning. This approach moves beyond memorizing vocabulary lists and studying grammar charts.
Enhanced Learning Skills: Learn how to learn efficiently, reducing stress and improving brain function.
Motivation and Engagement: Stay motivated with our smart working techniques.
Mindfulness Techniques: Develop mindfulness to stay focused and reduce overwhelm.
Cultural Awareness: Gain authentic insights into different cultures.
Personalized Guidance: Navigate school systems with ease and confidence.
Effective Communication: Engage in meaningful language practice from the start.
Young people need experienced, kind role models to help them achieve their dreams. With our language skills and life experiences, we aim to create positive change and support young learners in reaching their full potential.
