Does this sound familiar?

Thoughts like these don’t mean you’re lazy or not smart enough. They show where your learning gets stuck, and that’s where we start.

Programs

How I can help.

Every coaching relationship starts with a starting-point session. From there, we decide together what you need. Once we’ve had the free intro call, I’ll send you a personalized proposal.

Start

Starting-point session

An in-depth first conversation that sets the direction for everything else.

What happens

  • What’s already working? Where are you stuck?
  • How do you study now, and what actually helps?
  • What’s your goal for the next few weeks?

What we work toward: a clear picture of where you stand and a concrete first step.

Ongoing

One-on-one coaching

Regular sessions over a longer period, using your actual schoolwork.

What happens

  • Try out study strategies and fine-tune them
  • Plan your weeks, tests, and projects
  • Keep going, even when it gets hard

What we work toward: study habits that suit you and growing confidence that you can do it yourself.

Short-term

Exam game plan

For finals, the Abitur, or big tests.

What happens

  • Sort the material: what really matters?
  • Plan backward from test day
  • Practice with purpose and do test runs

What we work toward: a plan that keeps you calm.

Tools

AI as a study partner

AI is already here. What matters is how you use it.

What happens

  • Prompts that ask for explanations, not answers
  • Fact-check the answers
  • Use AI to create your own practice questions

What we work toward: AI as a tool that makes your thinking stronger.

How it works

What to expect.

Free intro call

About 15 minutes, with your parents if you like.

Starting point

We look at where you are and what you want to achieve.

Coaching

We work on your material, in person, online, or hybrid.

On your own

The goal: you can keep going without me.

For parents

What parents should know.

Many families realize around midyear reports in February that school isn’t going smoothly. That’s a good time to take a closer look, without placing blame.

I work with your child, not around them. We’ll decide together how involved you’d like to be.

You’re welcome to join the intro call

You’ll see how I work, and your child gets a say too.

No diagnoses, no labels

I focus on strengths and on how your child learns.

Fewer homework battles

Once studying has a structure, it doesn’t need to be renegotiated every night.

In English or German

Coaching is available in English for international families.

FAQ

Good to know.

What ages do you work with?

Students from 5th grade up, depending on the situation.

Is this tutoring?

No. A tutor reteaches subject matter. I work on the learning process itself: organizing, remembering, applying, and following through, using your child’s actual schoolwork.

Does my child have to want this?

It helps a lot. That’s why the intro call is for your child too, so they can tell whether it feels like a good fit.

In person or online?

Either one, or a mix: in person in the Stuttgart area or online, whatever fits your family’s schedule.

Do we need a diagnosis?

No. I don’t work with diagnoses and I don’t make them. If a professional evaluation seems like a good idea, I’ll tell you.

What does coaching cost?

The intro call is free and comes with no obligation. If you’d like ongoing coaching, I’ll send you a personalized proposal based on your goals and the scope of support.

Which one sounded like you?

Send me a quick note about where things feel stuck, or have your parents reach out. In a free intro call, we’ll figure out the next step.
