When a child is underperforming in school, naturally, parents worry that this can compromise the trajectory of their entire future. Unsure where to turn or how to help their children, it can be a lonely and worrying place to be. Parents want their children to thrive and achieve their best so that they have every chance of building a happy, fulfilling, and secure future.

Schools want the best for the children in their care, but are often under-resourced and over-stretched, leading to generalised interventions, often with limited success. Certainty that their child deserves more drives parents to look for a way to break this cycle of often unexplained underachievement.

Children deserve an individualised, forensic level of expertise to identify the obstacles standing in their way, and a finely crafted, strategic approach to overcoming them.

Fortunately, that expert guidance and support parents and learners need is right here.

Building a Complete Picture of Learning

Standard academic interventions often focus narrowly on subject-specific problems or a SEND diagnoses, tending to prioritise exam performance above all else.

Catherine’s approach is different. Working with learners aged 11 through to university and beyond, she develops a meticulous and comprehensive understanding of each learner, examining strengths, motivations, and environmental factors influencing learning and achievement. This holistic, child-led approach allows her to develop research-led strategies to help learners recognise the unique ways they do (and don’t) learn effectively.

She offers an independent, expert voice which cuts through the noise from schools, teachers, peers, family, other parents and social media. Learners build the confidence, resilience, and autonomy that is vital for lifelong learning. Parents gain a clear plan for helping their child break their well-trodden patterns of underachievement.

Catherine collaborates with parents, learners and, where appropriate and requested, with schools, fostering meaningful and lasting improvements in how learning occurs and how to approach challenges. Her work meets learners exactly where they are in their educational journey, supporting growth at every stage.
