Welcome to this 1:1 mentoring class that goes beyond traditional academics to address critical life skills that every teenager needs to master before becoming an adult! This is a course for teenagers eager to learn and for parents who want to ensure their children are prepared for life beyond school. Trust me, I am currently watching my two young adult children (ages 22 & 20) navigate adult life, and making sure they were prepared for what's ahead was super important to me (and to them) to set them up for success :)

In this customized, one-on-one class, we will delve into a wide array of skills and topics often overlooked in regular curricula but are absolutely vital to living a balanced, successful adult life. My aim is to help your teen transition into adulthood with confidence, resilience, and the tools necessary to navigate the journey ahead.
