Elevating the Gifted
Support Your Gifted Child to Become Confident, Resilient, and Happy
​
Expert coaching and support for gifted young people who feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or held back so they can grow with confidence and reach their full potential.
Gifted children often face unique pressures: perfectionism, anxiety, frustration, or a sense of not fitting in. At Elevating the Gifted, we provide personalised coaching that helps your child understand their strengths, overcome challenges, and develop the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond. With a warm, evidence-based approach, we empower young people to flourish — not just perform.
Academic Coaching for Gifted Teens
Helping bright students build focus, confidence, and independence so they can perform at their best and receive the attention and challenge that is hard to find at school.

Challenges & Target Setting
​​
Our coaching programmes provide the attention and challenge that are often lacking in school. Each one combines expert academic guidance and motivation, helping your child learn how to plan, focus, and perform. They’ll develop lasting habits of confidence, resilience, and self-belief that extend far beyond exams and into every area of life.

I never got the chance to write you yesterday, but I did want to say… Your first meeting with him far exceeded my expectations! What a way of connecting with my child that I so often referred to as a sealed box. THANK YOU and looking forward to this journey!
Curtis Mercer, UK
I am delighted with my experience. The support and guidance have been fantastic for my academic progress. The challenges pushed me to think creatively, and the emphasis on well-being was really helpful. The support given for school and university applications were invaluable, and the regular check-ins kept me motivated and focused.
Josh Harrington, FL
Our family is incredibly grateful for the transformation we’ve seen since working with this academic coaching service. Our child’s grades improved noticeably within just a few months, and the progress has continued steadily. Even more importantly, they’ve rediscovered a genuine joy for learning that we hadn’t seen in years. The coaching approach was supportive, personalised, and clearly effective.
