Hi, I’m Charlotte
My mission is to help your quiet, reserved teen get the grades they deserve, appreciate their unique skills and talents and choose a career path that suits them (not necessarily in that order!)
A fish can’t survive on land.
An elephant can’t climb a tree.
But in their preferred environment, they thrive. The same is true of your teen.
The key to your teen’s success is for them to understand the conditions they need to thrive – their unique learning style, their values, their passions, their environment.
That’s where I come in.
For the past 18+ years, I have supported hundreds of teens like yours (who believed they had no confidence!) to surpass their expectations in exams, get into their first choice of school or college and ace the interview for their dream job.

I have many labels.
I’m a coach and a mentor (yep, there is a difference). An English teacher. A tutor. A GCSE Examiner. A mum of two teens. A writer. An introvert. A cold-water-swimming lover of cake.
Whichever title you prefer, my purpose is this: to give sensitive teens like yours the confidence to set and achieve their own goals (not those set for them by their parents, teachers, friends, Auntie Linda or Bob next door…).
I will be your teen’s cheerleader (minus all the chanting and the pom poms … like I said, I’m an introvert).

How to help your teen overcome feelings of shame in learning
I’m 45 years old and this week I found myself sobbing in my car, full of feelings of shame and humiliation, after attending a new class.
I’m sharing this story because it has given me a whole new level of understanding about what may be going on for many of our teenagers.

The 15-minute daily revision habit: unlocking your teen’s academic success
Gaining good GCSE results is not simply a matter of being “smart”.
I believe that ALL teens have the resources in them to achieve whatever grades they want to achieve.
Your teen just needs these two things: self-belief and a strategy.

Why it’s ok if your teen doesn’t want to achieve top grades in their exams
This might seem a bit controversial.
Surely all teens “should” study hard and “should” try to achieve “top grades” … shouldn’t they?
Hmmm. This is what we are programmed to believe, isn’t it?
But here’s the thing: studying to the exclusion of all else to achieve top grades might not align with your teen’s values. And living a life which is not aligned to our values is a recipe for unhappiness.
