🌟 We are committed to interactive classes where children connect with the teachers and have fun while learning.

This one-to-one coaching session features personalized guidance for your student. They will gain a deeper understanding of their emotions and acquire valuable skills to manage difficult feelings, overcome obstacles, and sustain a positive outlook during stressful situations. Our coaching will equip them with tools and techniques to handle any circumstance with emotional resilience and a Growth Mindset. 

During the class, we will not only provide coaching and training, but also offer fun and engaging activities such as games, role-playing, music, and visuals to help students control their emotions and respond to their feelings in a smart way.

Every class will be personalized to meet the individual needs of your child. Together, we will explore the most effective approaches to address any specific challenges that your child may face. Let's work together to develop a winning strategy to help your learner thrive. So, please send us a message after you enroll in this class regarding what are some of the challenges your learners go through and we will personalize the class to their individual needs.

Children don't need to have previous experience of mindfulness or positive mindset strategies. No background knowledge of the strategies is required in order for the children to succeed in this class.

Parental Guidance
These 1 on 1 classes are intended to offer educational and learning activities with strategies and tools to help students understand and manage emotions. This class is not a therapeutic class. This class has no intention to discuss personal reports on personal experience or mental health of the learners. Our discussion will be based on stories I created, materials I am bringing to class and not the learner's personal feelings. I encourage you to send me a message about the area your child needs support with (i.e. managing worries, gets angry really quickly, or is shy and not confident, etc...), and I will create lesson plans based on that issue, but we will not discuss specific circumstances that happened to the child. I will offer my stories, real-life situations on that specific topic and discuss strategies, tools and methods that could help.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
