Why do parents and students trust the IB Study Coach?

Vasco, 16

The most important thing for me was to learn how to avoid distractions and not procrastinate. Every session, Ana made me reflect and that reflection helped me find strategies that work with me. I came out of each session with an action plan and that really motivated me to keep going.​

Diogo, 17

I worked with Ana for eight months, and now I can plan my study week and do it according to my priorities for that week. I would not have been able to have done this on my own. I really think other students should do it.

Erika, 19

Ana and I met weekly online and I became much more productive. I also learnt that I can enjoy spending time with my friends and have good grades. On top of all this, I got accepted in to my first choice university.​

Chiara, 13

I was struggling with some subjects and Ana helped me understand what I needed to improve. The coaching sessions and Ana's guidance I was able to understand exactly what I needed to do.

My daughter was finding two subjects very challenging: English (Language & Literature) and TOK (Theory of Knowledge). With Ana's coaching techniques, my daughter got a clear understanding of the steps she needed to take to progress and improve her grades.

As the coaching process went on, I observed a very positive transformation in my son. He started having study routines and was able to independently organize his day and his week. He was able to stay motivated, effectively managed his time and as a result his academic performance improved. Also, and maybe very important to notice, I did not have to nag him anymore to study and our relationship improved a lot.​

What is an IB Study coach? 

The IB coach guides and supports students  through the academically demanding IB journey. Through the coaching process, carefully listening to each student and creating a supportive atmosphere, the IB students can be empowered in both academic and personal ambitions.

What does the service entail? 

The IB Study Coach service involves working with the student on a 1:1 online sessions to develop Executive Functioning skills or, in IB terminology, Approaches to Learning (ATL). These skills encompass time-management, self-motivation, resilience, accountability, organization, thinking skills, reflection skills, and problem-solving.

                Coaching vs. Counsellor vs Private tutoring

                What are the differences? 

                Private Tutor 

                In private tutoring, a tutor closely collaborates with an individual student, offering focused instruction and support in a specific subject or skill.

                Coach

                Coaching  is a reflective and action-oriented process where the client creates realistic action plans, thereby progressing from where they are to where they want to be.

                Counsellor

                Counselling is a professional service providing guidance, support, and assistance to individuals dealing with personal, social, emotional, or psychological challenges.

                A practical example of study coaching

                Private tutor/teacher:

                Let me see the test and let's see what we need to revise. Ok, I see, we need to practice some more exercises on functions. Let's do exercise 13 and 14 of page 56 of the maths book.

                Psychotherapist/ counsellor:

                It sounds like the frustration with your math grade is affecting you. Can you tell me more about how you're feeling about this?

                IB Study Coach:

                Ok, it sounds like you are very frustrated with maths. Would you like this to be the goal of our session? If yes, what exactly would you like to achieve regarding maths for next week?  Ok, can you tell me what you did well on this maths test?  What strategies do you think were effective in getting some questions right?

                 If you do not know, it's ok, let's think of another subject you are confident in. What do you think you are doing that is working for that subject? Can these same study techniques be transferred to maths?  If yes, how? If not, imagine a friend going through the same as you are going. What advice would you give him?
