GBNikenya is an amazing coach Nikenya is an amazing coach. She holds the space with warmth, clarity, honesty, understanding, and strength, so it feels very safe. As a coach myself, I was wowed by her technique. Even after one week of coaching with Nikenya I was becoming more confident, less reactive, and happier. It's been about four weeks now, and I feel so lucky to be able to see her each week. Thank you!!

GBCoaches are Best-in-Class I've worked with 3 coaches and they've all been fantastic. BeyondBookSmart seems to hire only best-in-class professionals from therapists to executives. The WorkSpace is a perfect setting to hold myself accountable without needing to ask a colleague. It's reliable and private.

GBGreat coaching Our son has been matched with a great coach. They did a wonderful job connecting him with an individual he could relate to. My son has made good progress which has improved his self confidence in the academic arena.

GBIt's Been A Good Piece of A Complicated Story Our YA child has been working with a wonderful coach for several years. They have established a valuable, trusting relationship, that has really helped our child articulate and face numerous challenges. As a parent, I have appreciated the candor and clarity of the subsequent reports. Often they have provided me with an opportunity to explore certain questions with my child in a way that is direct but not adversarial.

GBYes, try it. I have had two of my kids use Beyond Booksmart within the last few years. The staff and EF coaches are responsive and caring. BBS was an integral part of my daughter learning to work through her challenges. With her coach's perspective in the mix we were able to see the situation more broadly. My daughter changed from the prep school she was in to a voc tech. She is now a high school junior, an honors student, takes AP English and last summer did a two week precollege program at Harvard University. A long way from wondering if she was going to have to repeat eigth grade. My son is in college and was having executive functioning challenges. He's only been using the program for a few weeks, but seem to be getting something out of it as well. In his case he was not enthusiastic about his first match from our initial interview. BBS worked with us to find another match that he's much more responsive to.
