I would highly recommend Kari to anyone who needs academic and life coaching support for your child. Over the past year and a half, my 17 year son has been seeing Kari for academic and life coaching. My son, who has some learning disabilities and academic challenges, needed the assistance of a professional coach who understands his challenges. Acting as the mediator between me and my son, Kari has been a tremendous help keeping him on task, building his self confidence and offering emotional and academic support. I am thankful for her professionalism when we have difficult discussions and her willingness to offer solutions. As a parent, we are so emotionally involved that we cannot see things professionals can see. Kari is great at bringing issues to the forefront, offering solutions and focusing on results. I am so happy that my son trusts and respects Kari and has allowed her to help him through his teen years.
