    Penistone Grammar School

    Progress Manager

  • All well prepared

    "Tia was very professional, calm, knowledgeable but all well prepared."

    The Oratory School

    Assistant Head

  • Warm and approachable manner

    "Tia's approach was tailored perfectly for our all-girls environment. Her warm and approachable manner encouraged active participation, while her knowledge of the latest research was exceptional."

    St Helen’s Girls School

    Deputy Head

  • Such a huge change over the last month

    "Thank you for all your support, we have seen such a huge change in her over the last month. All your sessions with her have made all the difference."

    Australian Institute of Sport

    Spring Board Diver

  • Helping students feel more prepared and confident

    "Tia engaged Year 13 from the moment she started the session. She guided them through various challenges they encountered in education and sport focusing on managing difficult emotions like anger and frustration. She shared strategic methods of managing thoughts and feelings, helping students feel more prepared and confident about their upcoming competitions."

    Ark Acton Academy

    Head of Sixth Form

  • Great to see her enjoying it and having fun again

    "I'm genuinely surprised at the change in herself. She is so much happier and confident in herself. I honestly think she was close to giving up running (which of course is fine if it's what she wanted) but she seems to have found her love for it again, and it's great to see her enjoying it and having fun again."
