ACADEMIC COACHING EXPERIENCE

Typical challenges experienced by students I’ve coached include: 

  • exam/test anxiety, panic attacks/forgetting what they studied in tests or exams/stopping getting meltdowns in exams
  • time management problem/ineffective study method
  • poor academic self-esteem/confidence
  • study procrastination (‘flight’ stress response)
  • skipping school/university when there is a test/exam due to stress and fear of failure
  • learning difficulties and/or concentration/motivation problem

I’m a UK-qualified teacher experienced in coaching school students who want help with their:

  • back to school stress and anxiety (psychosomatic pains like stomach pain at the thought of going back)
  • written mock exams and final examinations (GCSEs, IGCSEs, A levels, IB Diploma, European Baccalaureate, Greek Panellinies exams)
  • oral exams and assessed presentations
  • university/college application interviews (both online and in-person)
  • school plays, oral exams, assessed presentations, and other non-academic areas of school life that can bring up performance anxiety
  • High School curriculum tests and exams 
  • Middle school curriculum tests and exams (Greek, international, American, British, and European school system)
  • Upper primary (last 2 years of primary school) tests and exams (e.g. end of Year 6 Cambridge exams in British international school system) 

I’ve also coached adults to help them achieve their goal(s) related to their:

  • university/college exams and resits
  • dissertation and big assignment deadlines 
  • assessed school placement lesson observations (teacher training certification)
  • university oral exam prep
  • exams for professional development/advancement

HOW I COACH STUDENTS VIA a Therapeutic coaching approach

Academic Coaching with Advanced EFT Practitioner Eleni Vardaki

For some learners, one or more unhealthy habit is behind their motivation/stress issue with schoolwork. We then work together to help them replace their old stress-based habits (e.g. avoiding sitting down to study/procrastination, stress eating before studying, numbing out on social media 2+ hours a day, etc) that they want to replace with better study/organization habits and healthier morning/sleep routines.

Others have already established good study and healthy sleep/self-care habits. So we agree to go straight into focusing on helping them reduce their test/performance/exam-related stress, panic, fear of getting a panic attack in a particular test/exam, fear of failure, problem/motivation concentrating, or any negative emotion that comes up when they think about opening a textbook they have to study, for example.

That being said, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to academic coaching. I tailor my sessions and work to the specific challenges that student is facing and work with them through a teamwork approach to identify what may be blocking them from improving their performance in one or more areas. We can problem-solve via a unique Therapeutic Coaching approach that combines Academic Coaching, EFT Tapping, and school-related trauma wound healing.

SOME CASE STUDIES

WHAT STUDENTS i've coached HAVE SAID

MIDDLE SCHOOL

“I am feeling a bit stressed about the Maths exam, but I’m feeling comforted knowing that I’m gonna tap. Because I know I’m gonna study, I’m gonna tap, and it’s gonna be okay. Because I have these techniques.” – Year 8 student (British school system)

HIGH SCHOOL

  • “It helped me a lot to focus after the session when we did the tapping. After the session I was more focused and motivated to study.” – 10th Grade student (Greek school system)
  • “Tapping is kinda like a booster before you do something. It has helped me when I wanted to study for an exam because I didn’t want to fail. But I felt boredom, tiredness, and like my brain was completely melting when I tried to remember stuff. Before tapping, I would open the book, but I couldn’t understand what I was reading. So a part of me wanted to play video games rather than study. After tapping I felt boosted so I could concentrate and study.” – 11th Grade student (Spanish school system)
  • “Tapping has helped me create better art. I tap, I think about what I want to draw, and I do it. When you look at my before-tapping drawings and my after-tapping drawings, you can see that it’s on another level. I think EFT helps connect with the human senses. Sports and arts are something human.” – 11th Grade student (Spanish school system)
  • “Since I’ve been doing this tapping thing, I’ve been thinking, ‘Why should we not do this in schools?’ I think it’s a lot more useful than, like, Pascal’s triangle! It’s a lot more useful.” – 12th Grade student (IB Diploma international school system)

UNIVERSITY 

  • “Tapping helped me realize my blockages were fear of failure and not having good study skills. The tapping helped me build a good habit of scheduling and managing my time better and getting things done, so I could make better progress on my dissertation.” – Final year university student (UK university undergraduate student, full-time)
  • “It has been a productive, focused like crazy, and mindfully eating day! I just submitted my Masters assignment, over 24 hours before the deadline, and feel great. Thank you for your guidance and inspiring tapping.” – Masters student (Canadian postgraduate student, part-time) & Primary School Teacher (full-time)
