We help your teen learn how to learn almost anything taught in school, to be more organized, and to manage their time.

So that your teen is more confident and successful in school.

This Will No Longer Be the Scene in Your Household!

Low Test Scores

Missing Assignments

Limited Online Learning

Overwhelming Coursework Loads

Struggling to Learn Course Material

Difficulty Starting Projects/Tasks

Unmotivated and Bored With School

As students advance to higher grade levels, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage their school work, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments.

Along with the many added distractions, procrastination, and disorganization, it can quickly lead to frustration, overwhelm, and the results above.

No More In My House!

Academic Coaching helps students master school so they can stress less.

Hi, I'm Doretha Carter, a.k.a., The Learner Coach, and welcome to my website!

I provide online academic coaching services to smart but distracted teens.

I work with parents who don't know where their smart teens have disappeared to. I help them get their smart teens back.

I also work with teens who have 'not so good' grades and are under extreme stress at home and at school. I help them learn smarter with less stress.

I do this by coaching on study skills, time management, organization, planning, task initiation, self-advocacy, and much more.

The Ugly Truth About Studying

"... most students have never been taught how to study and the strategies they devise on their own don't work."- Daniel Willingham.

I know how stressful it can be being a parent of a smart but distracted teen whose habits (and at times attitude) doesn't show how bright he is.

I'm also a middle school educator and had on a daily saw stressed out parents, like myself, who wondered what had happened to their bright teens too.

I had to do something about these stressful situations so I got trained as an academic coach.

I've taken the coaching tools learned and use them for my own teen, as well as, for the middle school students I now teach.

I'm also offering these academic coaching tools for your smart but distracted teens too.

Back in the day, to prepare me for life so that my future would be bright, my Momma would say, "When you're 18, you are out of my house!"

Today, with the large number of distractions teens face, as parents we have to provide that "extra something" to guide our smart but distracted teens to be ready to... leave OUR house!
