Exclusive teen coaching by a former teacher, accomplished
social innovator & leader in rethinking education

Teens (and their parents) face multiple challenges during their school career:

• College application process

• Executive functioning skills
  

• Academics

• Study habits

• Self-awareness and confidence in skills & gifts

• Telling their story on applications

• Life skills

• College & career planning

• Career & job coaching

I meet teens wherever they are and bring them back in – to their own success, confidence and readiness for the future.

From a parent:

“Ms. Carrier’s lessons were the perfect segue for my daughter to prepare for real life situations – for what she is bound to encounter in her future. It provided her with a preview of what it would feel like to be seen as a professional adult. This is an important aspect of life.”

From a student:

“Ms. Carrier’s positive/reaffirming teaching style was one that I needed in order to
build self-confidence, graduate, and pursue a meaningful career.”

Additional Family Communication Coaching:

Once I start working with teens, I often see gaps in communication between teens and parents. I offer additional coaching services for families that enable fresh, open conversations and empower teens to find healthy ways to speak up. I help families navigate those tricky topics and encourage structured, goal-oriented discussion. Typical engagements:

• 8 sessions, first weekly then every other week
• Dinner-table, non-confrontational discussion
• My role is advocate for your teen and I lead the discussion
• Goal-setting oriented discussion around topics I see most amiss in families including:
  • Space
  • Privacy
  • Structure
  • Boundaries
  • Consistency
  • Personal time
  • Screen time
  • Communication
