Students often expend a lot of mental energy worrying about what they don’t want to happen (i.e., doing poorly on a test or exam). Their thoughts can be negative and are often repetitive which can negatively impact their ability to focus on their studies.

Positive affirmations can serve as a visual reminder to help students channel their mental energy to focus on what they want to happen and increase their productivity and performance as they work towards their goals.

What My Clients Are Saying

  • “Joanne’s presentation in my class was lively and interactive with very helpful points provided to help my students with their studies. Two weeks later, my students took their second term test and they all did much better! Joanne’s points really hit home and they took advantage of her practical tips and were able to integrate them into their study routine.”

    Katie R. (Teacher)

  • “Meeting Joanne was beyond helpful and motivating! I learned many skills that I can use throughout my life, and not just in a university atmosphere. In just a few sessions, we covered important topics such as time management, how to properly study, and how to prepare for important exams. She is a very easy person to talk to and cares about the success of her students. After a hard first year at university, I am so happy I was given the opportunity to see Joanne, as my life has never felt so simple and organized.”

    Rachel H. (Student)

  • “I knew from our first conversation that Joanne was the right person. My daughter worked with Joanne over the summer getting her ready for university providing valuable skills and tips during their one on one coaching sessions. Her enthusiasm for learning was infectious. We have decided to continue working with Joanne remotely while my daughter is away at school. Thanks Joanne!”
