One-on-one coaching for teenagers
Your teen builds focus, follows through on real goals, and learns to use AI as a tool for thinking — not a substitute for it.
1:1 sessions · Anytime messaging · Parents in the loop
What we work on
Every engagement is one-on-one and starts with a discovery session. From there, it takes one of three shapes.
Flagship
Most teens already use AI. Almost none use it well. Your teen learns how it works, when to lean on it, when to close it — and how to stay the one doing the thinking.
Procrastination, screen time, stress, overthinking. We build practical systems with your teen — not rules imposed on them — and keep at it until they stick.
There's a specific target — a big test, a language, an internship. We reverse-engineer it into weekly milestones and execute. The playbook stays with your teen.
How it works
01
Free, 30 minutes. You tell me about your teen; I explain exactly how coaching works. We both decide if it's a fit.
02
Your teen and I talk — mostly without you. Coaching only works if they choose it: no teen buy-in, no deal.
03
We map strengths, friction points, and how the week actually goes — then pick one 90-day goal your teen genuinely wants.
04
Regular 1:1 sessions, anytime messaging in between, and a written summary to you after every session. You're never out of the loop.

Every plan includes
Your coach
I'm a software engineer working to improve tech literacy across government organizations in Colorado — my day job is making complicated technology make sense to people. I use AI every working day, professionally and responsibly. That's exactly what I teach.
Before that: a computer science degree with a leadership minor (3.9 GPA), a 35 on the ACT, summers spent as a camp counselor, and an Eagle Scout award. I've lived in Brazil long enough to hold my own in Portuguese. And I'm 23 — old enough to coach, young enough that teens don't tune me out.
FAQ
No. Coaching is forward-looking: goals, habits, skills. If something comes up that calls for a licensed professional, I'll say so plainly and help you find one.
Then I won't take them on. The meet-the-coach call exists so your teen can decide for themselves. Coaching imposed on a teenager doesn't work, and I don't sell it.
You get a written summary after every session and a monthly check-in. Summaries cover themes and commitments — I protect your teen's trust, and they always know what I share.
Using AI to learn faster and think better — without outsourcing the thinking. Honest schoolwork, verification habits, and knowing when to close the laptop. Your teen finishes by writing their own AI code of conduct and presenting a project built by it.
Everyone signs the communication policy up front: parents may review the channel at any time, and your teen knows that from day one. A background check is available on request.
Anytime, effective at the end of the billing month. No long-term contract.
A free 30-minute call about your teen — what's going on, what "better" would look like, and whether this is the right fit. No pressure either way.
