How to Help Your Teen Succeed in College

Even if She Struggles with Managing Her Time,
Even if He Procrastinates When Starting New Projects,
and Even if They Are Terrible at Planning Ahead

So That Your Teen Can Graduate on Time,
with Good Grades,
Succeed in Their Chosen Career,
and Live a Fulfilling, Independent Life

Students with ADHD and other Executive Function issues often struggle with getting good grades in school. And, if you thought helping your child through High School was tough … wait until your teen gets into college!

Registering for classes
Figuring out which text books to buy
Walking across campus to get to their next class
Large class sizes with little time to ask the teacher questions after class
Fellow students enticing them to go out and party all night

The list of stressors and distractions are many, and the academic expectations of college are high. All this change from High School requires an adjustment period for any teenager. However, for a teen with ADHD, this adjustment time might be especially rough, unless they’ve received adequate support in developing their independence skills.

If you want to help your teen succeed in college …

Our High School and College Coaching Program Can Help Your Teen Go from Failing to Achieving!

For decades Carol Gignoux has helped families and students navigate the college process from preparation in Junior Year in High School — to getting into advanced education and achieving high marks and flourishing in their studies.

Of course, there are other options …

You could rent an apartment near campus so you can keep a close watch. (Those binoculars you keep in the closet will finally be useful!)

You could hop on a Zoom call with your teen every night to keep tabs and remind them of what they should be doing. (Just hold your tongue when you see the mess that is their dorm room behind them!)

You could hire a private detective or teen spy to keep you informed of what is really going on. (Now that’s a fantastic way to build trust with your teen!)

Or you can give your student the gift of working with one of the country’s top student coaches
who will prepare your student to function independently on their own when they leave home.

Imagine What Your Teen Could Achieve If They Had the Support They Needed in College
and Learned How To Fully Function Independently in the World
Even Leverage Their Unique, Creative Strengths
So That You Would Never Have to Worry About Them Again

Imagine your teen being able to organize effectively.
Imagine your teen exhibiting self-restraint when the moment called for it.
Imagine your teen starting things with gusto and finishing them on time.
Your teen might even surprise you by planning -- in advance -- time together for your birthday!

A year of student coaching with Carol is normally priced at $7,465.

But, for a limited time, you can get the same full year of private student coaching for your teenaged son or daughter for only $4,465. That’s less than $400 per month!

Here is a taste what your college-bound teen will receive:

Weekly coaching sessions with Carol via an online platform so that your teen can benefit from working with their coach face to face.

Additional email communications so that they stay on track with scheduled assignments.

Tools and resources so that they build strong study habits, develop laser focus, and stay caught up with academic tasks.

On-going monitoring of GPA—and interventions when needed -- so that they get the grades they’ll need to stay in school, excel in school, and graduate with the confidence to start their new career after school.

Accountability checkups to make sure behaviors and strategies are becoming regular habits so that they can take their success in college out into the world afterwards.

Carol designed this program to help anyone who has challenges with executive functioning, such as time management, prioritization, and productivity. No one should get behind when entering college, so it is an excellent idea to act now before it’s too late.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to start?

It is best to begin the program in late summer so that Carol can establish a working relationship with your teen, and your son or daughter can learn the best strategies in anticipation of a busy beginning to the school year.

How is your program different from what the schools already offer?

Secondary schools have little budget or expertise to work one-on-one with students that need extra guidance. Once in college, a few resources may be available, but students must take the initiative to seek help. We have found that although help on campus may come from a reputable source, it may not be enough. When compared to the well-rounded, specialized program we offer students with ADHD and Executive Function weaknesses, there will be no guessing as to whether your student will have what they need to succeed, especially that all-important first year.

What if my teen has already started college?

If your teen has already started college, there is no time to waste when it comes to giving them the extra help and support they need. You can start at any time. There is no reason to delay. Call us to find out more about alternative timelines for your teen no matter what year or semester they fall into.
