Luke C.
Previously the Principal of Blyth Academy and the Vice Principal of The Sterling Hall School, Luke is now ‘coaching’ the stuff that he feels school often misses.
Luke will often start with some tutoring, but he hopes to get into the ‘how’ more than the ‘what’. Luke focuses on how to prioritize, how to time manage, how to overcome blocks and frustrations, and ultimately, how to feel better while tackling tasks. Luke is certified through the International Coaching Federation, and he is almost through his Psychotherapy accreditation. Over the last three years, over 100 students have tackled Structuring for Success, a program Luke has built since leaving formal education. Luke would love to tell you more about it!
