Is your teen a quietly brilliant introvert?
Are they bright, full of potential - but drained, stressed and switched off by school?
Instead of pushing your teen to fit the system, I put them in the driving seat - helping them tailor their education to their own strengths, ambitions, and future goals.
The result? A motivated, confident teen who knows where they’re heading and how to get there without burnout.

You want your teen to get the results they need, grow in confidence, and feel motivated by a future they’ve chosen for themselves. BUT …
They come home from school tired, snappy, tearful and stressed with nothing left in the tank.
They blame themselves when they struggle but you know it's not lack of motivation.
Despite being bright and thoughtful, they can't see their own strengths and constant comparisons chip away at their confidence.
Homework feels endless and overwhelming. PowerPoints, past papers, knowledge organisers, revision acronyms ... they don't even know where to start.
School's answer is always "more, more, more" - extra interventions, after-school sessions, even holiday catch-ups. But none of it helps them feel more capable.
Most painful of all? They've stopped believing in what's possible for their future. Instead of being excited for what comes next, they are starting to switch off.

Just imagine if ...
Your teen had a clear goal for the future - one that excites them and makes school feel relevant again.
They knew their own strengths and how to use them, instead of constantly comparing themselves to others.
Revision felt manageable, because their study plan actually worked with their energy and personality.
They were calmer, more motivated and more confident - not because you're pushing them, but because they're driving themselves forward.
You could step back from the nagging and the battles, knowing your teen had a plan that fits them and a future they believe in.
Hello there!
I’m Charlotte – ex-teacher, GCSE examiner, ILM LEVEL 5 coach, home educating parent of two teens and a proud introvert myself.
Back in 2015, my family was struggling. I loved teaching, but the relentless focus on performance metrics didn’t sit right with me. Meanwhile, at just 7 and 5, my quiet, sensitive children were already anxious, exhausted, and starting to doubt themselves.
The advice I kept hearing? Push them out of their comfort zones. More clubs. More speaking up. More of what was draining them in the first place. My gut said otherwise.
So I made a bold choice: I stepped back. I took them out of the system and home educated through primary school - and later, through GCSEs and A-levels. And I saw something powerful: when my teens were free to learn in a way that fitted them, they didn’t just “cope.” They thrived.
That experience changed everything. It showed me that quiet teens don’t need to become louder to succeed. They need the freedom, the tools, and the confidence to shape education around their strengths, not bend themselves to fit the system.
Because introverted teens don’t need fixing. They don’t need more pressure, more interventions, or more stress. They need someone to put them in the driving seat of their own future - to help them set a goal that matters to them, and then build a study plan that gets them there without burnout.

They need someone to put them in the driving seat of their own future - to help them set a goal that matters to them, and then build a study plan that gets them there without burnout.
That's why I created this coaching programme - not just for teens, but for you too.
You know your teen.
I know the system.
Together, we can create a success path that works for them.
Together, we will:
Question Stereotypes
Reframe quietness as a strength so your teen sees introversion as power, not a problem.
Unlock Potential
Help your teen recognise what they are good at (even if they can't see it yet) and build confidence from the inside out.
Identify Goals
Start with a goal that excites them - university, college, an apprenticeship, a career path or entrepreneurship - and then work backwards.
Eliminate Distractions
Simplify study schedules, resources and routines so exams become manageable instead of draining.
Tailor The Plan
Create a personal road map that fits your teen's strengths, energy and ambitions - not a one-size-fits-all revision timetable.
INTRODUCING: Quietly Brilliant Coaching for Exams
A 10-week 1:1 coaching programme that starts where schools don't - with your teen's future.
Instead of forcing them through generic revision routines, we begin by identifying a goal that excites and motivates them - then build a plan that works backwards from there.
The result? Exam success that isn't just about grades, but about setting your teen up for a future that fits who they are.
By the end of this 10-week programme, your teen will have:
Chosen a future goal that excites and motivates them - whether that's university, college, an apprenticeship, or a first step to a dream career.
Recognised their own strengths, talents and values - and seen how these can shape their study and life choices.
Set their own target grades for GCSE (not just the ones the school predicts), giving them ownership and accountability.
Built a study plan that works backwards from their future goal - tailored to their energy, learning style and personal pace.
Streamlined revision so that they will know exactly what to focus on, reducing overwhelm and leaving time for hobbies and rest.
Experienced what it feels like to be in the driving seat of their education - motivated, confident and ready for what comes next.
Your investment: £1500 for 10 x 1-hour sessions over 90 days.
I only ever work with a maximum of 5 teens aged 14-16 at a time. This allows me to give each family the individual care, attention and support they truly deserve. Payment plans are available.
This is more than preparation for exams.
It's preparation for life.
Give your teen the precious gift of knowing who they are, what they want and how to get there independently.
Here's what your teen will get:
A personalised start - an in-depth onboarding form for both parents and teens, so we immediately understand their challenges, strengths and goals. From day one, your teen feels seen and supported.
Tools to overcome barriers - whether it’s low confidence, overwhelm, or friendship issues, we’ll work through the blocks that make studying feel impossible, so they can move forward calmly and steadily.
A mirror to their strengths - I’ll reflect back the talents they can’t always see in themselves, so they start to believe in what they bring to the table.
Structure that feels personal - gentle guidance through each step, creating a study plan that feels achievable and motivating, not overwhelming or rigid.
A safe, non-judgemental space - sometimes the biggest shift happens when your teen can talk to someone who isn’t Mum or Dad. I’ll listen without pressure, so they can open up and start owning their journey.
Encouragement and challenge in balance -
I’ll give them the support they need when things feel tough, and a nudge to stretch when they’re ready, so they grow steadily without burning out.
Accountability that builds confidence - regular check-ins to keep them on track and help them feel the satisfaction of real progress.
Visible results that carry forward - not just improved grades, but a clear goal, a tailored plan, and the motivation to keep moving toward a future they've chosen.
After missing a year of studies, I struggled to catch up, but Charlotte’s guidance helped me rebuild my confidence and greatly improve my skills. Her coaching sessions were patient, engaging, and tailored to my needs, and her feedback was always clear, constructive, and encouraging. Thanks to her support, I not only excelled in my English studies but also achieved the results I needed to get into the university program I wanted.
Charlotte was recommended to us with 6 weeks to go till our daughter had to sit her GCSE exams. She was lacking confidence and feeling stressed, scared and nervous about her exams. With time not on our side, Charlotte focused in on building her confidence and belief that she had what it takes to face her exams - a gifted coach knows to unlock the belief and potential within. She motivated my daughter each week with a process that helped her to streamline her examination preparation in an achievable way, all while building her self-esteem too. We're really grateful for Charlotte's care towards our daughter at a sensitive time and we're proud to say that she achieved her highest grade in the subject. Thank you Charlotte for building our daughter back up - she has started her A-levels with a motivation and confidence that we have not seen in her for ages.
It is a pleasure to recommend Charlotte. She has worked with both of our daughters over the past four years, first preparing them for their GCSEs and later guiding them through their A-levels. During this time, she supported them masterfully in their studies and beyond. Thanks to Charlotte’s expertise and mentorship, both of our daughters are now enrolled in their dream programs at their top-choice universities. We are deeply grateful for her dedication and wholeheartedly recommend her to any family seeking an exceptional tutor and mentor.
My son had some sessions with Charlotte in Year 10 to help with planning his GCSE study. He has just finished his GCSEs and I honestly believe that the support from Charlotte early on, helped it be as low stress as possible. He hadn't wanted advice or tips from me and whilst he was hesitant that Charlotte would be able to tell him anything new (typical teenage response), he really enjoyed the sessions and applied everything they discussed. It really helped our relationship as I could just support what they had agreed and saw how it made him happier/less grumpy! Charlotte very quickly built a rapport with him and was able to adapt to his particular learning style. She provided tailored suggestions for different revision resources and helped him build a study plan. It gave him the confidence that he could prepare for his GCSEs across Year 10 and 11 - it didn't need to be studying for hours and hours a day either! Whilst we don't have his results yet, I know that the sessions with Charlotte helped him prepare in the best way. But most importantly, he felt confident; prepared and able to go into his exams calmer! I wholeheartedly recommend a session with Charlottte - it might just change everything for you/your teen (at home and school). Thank you Charlotte.
I did this in year 10 to help me prepare for my GCSEs and it was very helpful. I would recommend.
The webinar has given me an insight into what I can do to help and support Grace to prepare going into year 10 and useful ways for her to revise when it comes to her GCSE’s. Your outlook on this has helped me view this in a better light and not put too much pressure on her. I loved the prep in advance advice for 15mins of revision time and the idea of a revision holiday too! It’s great to have people like you who understand - offering valuable advice and good techniques to help us support our teens
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this actually work for my teen, especially if they’re unmotivated, anxious, or unwilling to engage right now?
The honest answer is no. This coaching programme isn’t the right fit if your teen is completely unwilling to engage.
Even if they’re anxious, uncertain, or overwhelmed (all perfectly normal), they do need to be open to taking small steps forward with your support. Coaching isn’t about forcing, pushing, or persuading a reluctant teen - it’s about empowering ambitious introverts who want something better for themselves, even if they can’t see exactly how yet.
If you’re unsure whether this is the right time, I warmly invite you to book a free 30-minute insight call with me. We’ll talk through your teen’s situation, and I’ll give you honest, tailored advice, even if that means recommending a different path for now.
Ultimately, for this to work, your teen needs at least a spark of willingness - a sense that they want their future to look different. That tiny spark is all we need to begin.
Wouldn't it be better to just get a tutor to teach the content?
Tutors can be a valuable support but content alone isn’t the whole story.
Coaching gives your teen something even more powerful: the skills and confidence to take ownership of their learning. Instead of depending on someone else to explain everything, your teen will learn how to study smarter, manage their energy, stay organised, and build self-belief. These are skills that last far beyond GCSEs - they’re the foundation for success at A-level, university, and in the workplace.
Of course, if your teen needs specific help in one subject, a tutor can be a great complement to coaching. But without clear goals, effective habits, and belief in their own abilities, even the best tutors can only do so much. I learnt this first-hand from years of tutoring and it’s why I moved into coaching.
What’s the difference between coaching and counselling?
If your teen is finding school, college, or exams overwhelming, they may be feeling sad, anxious, or stuck. Coaching offers them a safe, supportive space to explore who they are, what they want, and how to get there. Through listening, encouragement, and the right questions, I help them look forward with confidence, uncover their strengths, and build practical strategies to reach their goals.
Counselling, on the other hand, is designed to support mental health challenges - such as anxiety, depression, or trauma - and focuses more on healing and processing difficult feelings. If I ever feel your teen would benefit from this kind of professional support before they’re ready to take charge of their future, I’ll be honest with you and guide you to the right help. Coaching will always be here when they’re ready to move forward.
Is this better value than tuition?
Let’s look at it over the course of a year.
Traditional tuition:
A highly skilled English or Maths tutor costs at least £45 per week, per subject.
Over a school year (38 weeks), that’s £1710 for one subject or £3420 for two subjects - and that’s just for content delivery.
Quietly Brilliant Exam Coaching:
£1500 for a complete 10-week programme.
Instead of covering one subject, your teen learns how to study all of their subjects in a way that works for them.
No ongoing weekly intervention needed.
The difference? Tuition teaches content. Coaching gives your teen the skills, confidence, and motivation to take control of their own learning - skills that last not just through GCSEs and A-levels, but into university, work, and beyond.
Will I be involved as a parent, or is it just for my teen?
You’ll absolutely be involved but always in a way that supports your teen’s independence rather than undermines it.
This programme is designed to be teen-led. I create a safe space where your teen can reflect openly without pressure but your role is still vital.
You’ll be included throughout in ways that strengthen the process:
A parent onboarding call and form at the start so you can share insights, ask questions, and feel confident about the journey ahead.
Weekly updates with simple summaries so you know what your teen is working on and how they’re progressing.
Respect for confidentiality - deeper work on anxieties, blocks, or past experiences stays private, unless your teen agrees to share or there’s a safeguarding concern.
This balance means your teen builds trust, autonomy, and confidence while you stay informed and empowered to support them at home. Together, you’ll both see them step into the driving seat of their future.
What if I’m struggling to let go or facing conflict at home?
That’s incredibly common and you’re not alone. This stage of parenting can be emotionally intense, especially if your teen is pulling away, shutting down, or making choices that are hard to understand.
That’s why support for you is included too. During the 90 days of the coaching programme, you’ll have unlimited email access to me, so you’re never left wondering what to do next.
And if you need more, I also offer individual parent coaching sessions (£150 per hour). These are designed to help you:
Understand what’s in your influence (and what’s not)
Set healthy boundaries without pushing your teen away
Reduce conflict and strengthen communication
Let go in a way that feels respectful and steady, not like you’re abandoning them.
Because just like your teen, you deserve support too.
Coaching can give you the tools to step back with confidence, so your teen can take the driving seat and you can feel calm and connected along the way.
