The Problem

Many young people go through their academic careers with their grades being their only defining factor. 

Our founder was one of those students. Her confidence was exclusively determined by a grade - meaning that she ended up in a crippling cycle of low confidence. Every error, missed mark and red line represented another reason to doubt herself and her abilities.

​

The Solution

Burnt-out and exhausted, she recognised that she no longer wanted her self-worth and confidence to be determined by something so uncertain.

Instead of letting marks represent the entirety of her capabilities, she learned to use feedback as fuel and grades as a confirmation of understanding. This led to her excelling in her GCSE's and A Levels, achieving a first class degree in languages and most importantly, developing a strong sense of self. 

​

Her academic achievements were a mere accessory to the true accomplishment of recognising her worth and embracing her confidence. She has used those skills to thrive within and outside of academia and aims to help young people do the same.
