“Turning the ‘Science of Learning’ into practical and useful study advice is not easy – but Gretchen has done it incredibly well, incredibly effectively, and in an incredibly engaging manner.” ~ Jared Cooney Horvath, Cognitive Neuroscientist
Courses for Educators
The Rock Your Coaching Toolkit
“It’s easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day of classroom teaching, and this program helps me stay focused and feel rejuvenated. Everyone is enthusiastic and helpful, and learning alongside academic coaches reminds me that students are individuals, something that gets lost in the teacher training PD world. Learning about executive functions has helped me be more compassionate with students who struggle. On top of being energizing, the anti-boring strategies have helped me engage my students and get buy-in.” ~ Kar, K-8 French and Art Teacher, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
The Art of Inspiring Students to Study Strategically
Wanting more tools to help students become self-sufficient, motivated, competent learners? Looking for evidence-based strategies that motivate students to study effectively and manage their time efficiently? Equip yourself with the Anti-Boring™ toolbox! Get PD hours and/or graduate school credit. Ideal for teachers, tutors, academic coaches, and all educators in between.
“Your course was beyond learning styles, beyond the surface-level stuff we do in the classroom. Teaching young people how to actually study and to learn, and engage on their own, is something we teachers don’t always do. We should, but we don’t.” ~ Alison Grant, Teacher & Academic Coach
The Habits & Grades Tracker
In this mini-course, I teach you my process for using simple technology — a Google Spreadsheet — to track a students’ habits, grades, and progress during our academic coaching process. Designed specifically for academic coaches, this mini-course is also relevant to teachers who coach (like advisory teachers) as well as homeschooling parents. Includes templates you can copy and put into action.
“You’ve really created a concrete approach to helping students and you keep information in a single and accessible place. […] It really is a great accountability value add for us as coaches, especially since students miss details and parents don’t want to nag.”
Courses for Biz-Building
Should I Launch My Biz As An Academic Coach?
“Gretchen is beyond generous with her free resources. I’m so grateful!” ~ Tami, who eventually joined the full Launch Your Biz program

Starting or growing your academic life coaching biz? Feeling overwhelmed and not quite sure where to start?
