Flexible + Adaptive Coaching

Flexible & Adaptive Package

Why Flexible + Adaptive Coaching Works

Middle and high school change fast — and so do teens. That’s why Key Coaching offers a Flexible + Adaptive Coaching model, designed to meet your child exactly where they are each week.

Every session adjusts to your teen’s current workload, challenges, and emotional needs. This approach ensures that coaching is always relevant, supportive, and effective — no matter what the week brings.

With Flexible + Adaptive Coaching, your teen receives:

• Support that shifts with their weekly demands

Some weeks require organization and planning. Others require project breakdowns, test prep, or emotional regulation. We adjust in real time.

• Strategies tailored to their current strengths and struggles

We focus on what your child needs right now and provide structures and coaching to match those needs

• Coaching that matches the ups and downs of adolescence

Motivation, focus, and emotions can vary daily. Adaptive coaching helps teens stay grounded and capable, even during tough weeks.

• Tools for both predictable and unexpected challenges

Whether it’s a surprise missing assignment or a big test on the horizon, we respond quickly and strategically.

• Growth that evolves with your teen

As your teen becomes more confident and independent, coaching shifts from high support to lighter guidance — building long-term skills and confidence that lasts.

The Result:

A teen who feels capable, organized, and in control — no matter what school, life, or adolescence throws their way.

This style of coaching works well for teens who

  • Have needs that change weekly

  • Need support navigating changes in workloads

  • Experience shifts in their emotional world

  • Have uneven development of executive functioning skills

  • Run into ‘surprise’ road blocks in projects or deadlines

  • Have robust lives outside of school

—This package will begin with a teen & parent interview to determine needs and the direction of services. We’ll set a collective goal and work weekly to meet that goal

—Although needs may change from session to session, we will keep track of how the teen is progressing with regard to their initial goal and intention

Logistics

—Free consultation call

—Sessions are available as pay as you go or in 4 session increments

—Sessions are in person or virtual, 50 minutes long

—Parent updates after sessions 1 and 4

—Investment: $425 for a package of 4 sessions; $150 for sessions purchased individually

Executive Functioning Coaching for College Students

Key Coaching provides support for college students as they move out on their own for the first time, while also giving parents peace of mind that their child is in good hands

When parents drop off their students for college, it’s done with the intention that their children will have a great experience and get an excellent education. No parent hopes that their child struggles. And the reality is that many do. Moving away from home and being responsible for their entire lives can be daunting for college students. That’s where we come in!

Key Coaching is proud to offer a variety of coaching packages to support students’ transition to college and help ease parents’ concerns as their children move away for the first time.

Think of us as home away from home!

Different from tutoring, executive functioning focusing on working on the ‘soft skills’ that students may be lacking: time management, dealing with emotions, planning/organization. During checkins, we will discuss students’ well being, look over grades, make plans to tackle upcoming assignments and discuss strategies or resources to overcome struggles. Unless there’s a concern for well being, all conversations will remain private between the coach and the student.

Plan Descriptions

Packages run through the end of the semester; services conclude at the end of the last final exam. Checkins are scheduled for 30 minutes; in person or virtual options are available. The schedule for checkins will be set at the initial set up meeting. Topics for each check in will vary based on individual need, and can include: time management, grade checks, managing stress & anxiety, making friends, health & nutrition, homesickness.

Each package includes basic set up (combing through syllabi, putting dates in the student’s calendar, time management basics & short and long term goal setting).

Starter Plan:

This plan is perfect for anyone needing a little extra support and TLC. For the starter plan, we’ll meet together to comb through your syllabi and take a look at possible needs. I can answer questions that you might have and get you ready to go for the next moth! Includes: Basic set up + one monthly check in (5 maximum for the semester)

Starter Plus:

This plan is a slight step above our starter plan for anyone wanting regular support on a more frequent basis. After putting together your semester calendar, we’ll make plans for each week’s tasks and assignments. This plan includes: Basic set up + a 30 minute weekly check in.

Deluxe Plan:

Our deluxe plan caters to students who might be a little more nervous about being on their own and want to ensure support is readily available! After all of the initial start up work is complete, semester goals are set and we’ve scheduled our weekly 30 minute check in, we will talk about how support during the week will look. Perhaps you’ll want some motivational texts or a person to share highs and lows….it will be up to you! This package includes: Basic set up, a 30 minute weekly check in + remote/phone support throughout the week as needed

Excalibur Plan:

This is our most hands-on plan there is…think of us as your literal mom away from home! First, we’ll ensure that all the basics are managed and decide what our weekly checkins and remote support will look like. Then we’ll set up a shared calendar, syncing all of the important due dates, tests, assignments, etc for all of your classes. We’ll talk about what communication will look regarding reminders and pre-/post- assignment ‘report ins’. This package includes: Basic set up, weekly check in, remote/phone support as needed + synced calendar, individualized reminders for homework, tests, projects.
