What it is
A space to think it through
University is a step up, and not only academically. It is a new level of independence, a new way of working, and the first real decisions about who you want to become.
Coaching is a space to think that through, with someone firmly in your corner. It is not tutoring, and it is not someone telling you what to do. It is a structured, confidential conversation that helps you find your own direction, build your confidence, and perform at your best.
Who it is for
For university students and adults
Coaching at Sophyra Tutors is for university students and adults, aged eighteen and over. It sits alongside our tutoring, which supports school students with their subjects; coaching supports adults with how they think, decide and move forward.
