Teaching Success in Well-being, Home-Life, Practical Skills, Social Skills, Travel & Finance.

​For Teenagers and Young Adults in London, Cambridge, Brighton & Hove

At VIP Coaching and Mentoring, we help teenagers and young adults to master the life skills needed to find their own way.​

​

We prepare young people for independence outside of the family home. 

Designed for private households, our programmes focus on developing the practical skills and confidence for teenagers to overcome any situation on their own – and transform themselves into modern adults.

We teach success in six areas:

​

Wellbeing

Feelings of wellbeing are fundamental to the overall health on an individual. Wellbeing is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing.  It includes having high life satisfaction, a sense of meaning or purpose and the ability to manage stress.  Common areas for development include improving resilience, self-confidence, anger management skills and self-esteem.

​

Home Life

Manage time productively, organize school work, keep up with household tasks such as cleaning and laundry, carry out property maintenance and repairs, plan and cook healthy meals, learn essential administration skills and manage screen time!

​

Travel

Learn how to use public transport, explore a city safely, plan a trip abroad, pack an overnight bag, read a map, learn basic orienteering and make contingency plans.

 

Practical Skills

Develop a fitness routine and learn practical skills such as self-defence, first aid, campsite and survival techniques, interview skills, car maintenance and more.

 

Social Skills

Improve conversation skills and interview techniques, understand friendships, make friends in new situations, diffuse conflict, read body language, effectively manage feelings such as anger, anxiety or impulses.

​

Finance

Understand how to manage money, create a monthly budget, open a new bank account, learn how much things cost and improve awareness of everyday spending.
