    Jessyka Coulter- Love to Learn

    Jessyka Coulter- Love to Learn
    Shellee and Jessyka discuss: - Life skills all children need to be successful - It is important for students to have goals before they can be motivated - How to know if your student needs help with study skills Jessyka Coulter is the CEO and Founder of Ace Cookie Tutoring. Her company offers study and executive functioning skills tutoring through her Love to Learn study skills program. She knows most schools offer a one-size-fits-all curriculum that doesn't meet every student's personal learning needs. When tweens, teens, and young adults don't know HOW to learn, they don't enjoy school or learning of any kind. When students discover HOW to learn through the 12 study skills Jessyka teaches, they love to learn. This makes school SOOO much better for them (and their parents)! Learning never stops, but it can be tough to start without the right skills. While study skills are the most important part of Jessyka’s work and make the most difference to teens long-term, she also offers private 1:1 academic (content specific) tutoring online. Ask her about her lesson bundles that include content tutoring AND her Love to Learn study skills program.

My passions are psychology, trauma-informed care, spirituality, storytelling, performance, communication, embodiment, improvisation and play and supporting our youth. My work supports building a bridge between the power of the mind and the wisdom of the body. I believe the mind is a powerful tool to support us and implementing wisdom that our body collects and shares with us when we take the time to listen. Our world has become so disconnected from our bodies and feelings and learning to not only manage, but to lean into discomfort, is a necessary skill for navigating our world. Learning to stay present, in our bodies, feeling what we feel, creates a dance between the mind and the body The fosters awareness, insight, regulation, self-compassion and authentic expression" Connect with Michelle: Website- www.michellemaree.com Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/michelle.hardemanguptilllmft LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-maree-hardeman-guptill Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/neurosomatransformations Connect with Shellee: Website: https://collegereadyplan.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr_WodPHDfSWEbiPdsRDbyQ Twitter: https://twitter.com/gocollegeready Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collegereadyplan/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CollegeReadyPlan/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/college-ready/ Email: shellee@collegereadyplan.com
