About me

Reaching your goals is easier when you don’t have to do it alone. I aim to inspire my students to feel confident in themselves through guidance and belief, especially when they struggle to believe in themselves. My approach is empathetic, flexible, and collaborative. I focus on helping students build habits and systems that create lasting results, not just quick fixes. In my academic journey, I’ve seen students write themselves off and high achievers burn out. The issue was never ability, but rather the absence of systems that actually worked for them. I was fortunate to learn how to build routines, study in a way that suited me, and adapt without losing momentum. That guidance has shaped how I support my students today. With a background in psychology and experience in counselling, I’m able to understand each student’s unique challenges and tailor my support to how they think and learn. My coaching style is supportive, practical, and deeply invested. I meet students where they are, while gently pushing them to grow. You can expect honest encouragement, personalised strategies, and someone who celebrates every win along the way. When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me adding to my book collection, which is currently sitting at over 200, or appreciating the little things that make life meaningful. I’ve also travelled to four countries, including a solo trip to the Czech Republic. I also have a fun “mutant” trait called heterochromia—my eyes are two different colours, which always catches people by surprise.
