Academic Coaching Parent
I love that Focus of Tampa Bay includes academic coaching as part of a more holistic approach to treating our daughter’s ADHD. We have seen real improvements not just in her grades, but in her attitude and confidence. The flexibility of meeting online or in person has been a huge help, and as parents, it’s a relief knowing there’s another adult encouraging her and holding her accountable.
ADHD Coaching Adult
I was referred to Chey by the wonderful Focus of Tampa Bay office to better manage my condition and enrich med management with coaching sessions. I’m so glad to have found Chey and her personal approach that helps to get through the toughest times. You can feel the love and passion she gives into each and every session AND after them with recap emails in case you forgot something (you most certainly will, so it’s super helpful). Chey will equip you with knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to function properly. I have never felt judged or uncomfortable, only good vibes!
Academic Coaching Parent
Our daughter lacks executive function skills so academic coaching has helped fill that gap. She’s learned how to plan for assignments, tests and projects and learned the importance of maintaining a planner and checking it regularly. Alysia is the most patient and encouraging person you’ll ever meet!
Academic Coaching Student
I love going to my coaching appointments with Alysia! I always feel happy after them. She helps me plan my week so I feel on-top of things instead of feeling overwhelmed. She also helps me to organize my backpack!
