Coaching and consulting of children and teenagers

The art of coaching is to show the coachee how he can help himself to solve a problem or to follow his own path in life that suits him. This applies both to the individual educational path and to everyday challenges.

In the interviews, the coach finds out what kind of learner the child is and what its wishes are. Through this, it can be guaranteed that the child attends a school that takes this into account, so that the child’s motivation remains.

Our philosophy

Some private school counselors offer parents free personal advice. They receive a commission (approx. 15% of the tuition fee) from the school that they recommend to the parents.

We at schoolaboo work without commissions but with fixed coaching fees.

We guarantee you independent, personal advice. Your child should be proposed to the school that best meets its requirements and needs and also meets your wishes as parents (and not least your budget).

Our tariffs

CHF 180 per hour of personal coaching.

As a rule, you should expect 3-5 hours of coaching. These take place on site in the coach’s practice (coach in your region) or online via video call (free choice of coach). Depending on your wishes, the coach can continue to look after your child on a regular basis, be it settling in at school, learning or motivational difficulties or personal challenges.
