But Mike always felt there was something missing. A gap.

For Mike, the course is the culmination of a journey. His journey as a teacher, educator and trainer. But also his journey as a guide, supporting parents who want to do the best for their teen.
Mike has packed more than fifty practical strategies into the course, all of which you can use to support your teen's learning, support their revision, and help them to be successful.
It all started with Mike having those conversations with the parents of his learners, at parents' evenings and at the school gates.
And it's from those first attempts to help and support parents that Help Your Teen to Learn has grown. Becoming the fully-fledged, comprehensive support package you're looking at today.
