Mentoring 1-1

Building your life can be made a lot easier if you're working with someone as a guide as you begin to do this. Here at Life Builders, I offer individual mentoring sessions that help your teenager get started.

Who I mentor

Mentoring is great for students in upper elementary, high school, and university. I mentor students who are ready to do the work it takes to feel smart, confident, and ready to excel at school, while empowering themselves to build their very best life. Students usually identify with some or all of the following statements:

  • I want to do well at school, have fun, enjoy my life, and get started on building an extraordinary life.
  • I am tired of feeling behind all the time at school, and wish I could feel more organized and on top of my work.
  • I procrastinate and have a hard time motivating myself. I sincerely want to do better, but I just can’t figure out how.
  • I am simply overwhelmed and I don’t know where to begin.
  • I know what I need to do, I just have trouble following through.

How I do it

  • Get clear on areas of focus so that our work is strategic and impactful.
  • I create with the student a custom plan that maps out his/her path forward, with clear goals and a vision for the future.
  • I meet with the student weekly to celebrate his/her successes, challenge them to improve, and inspire them to practice the learning and organizational skills necessary to thrive at school and in life.
  • I work with the student to build and personalize their online 'Notion' workspace, a digital tool they can use to organize their life and manage their studies.
  • Between sessions, I’m here to provide support, motivation, and accountability.

Typical results

  • Greater confidence
    They gain the confidence they need to figure things out, try new things, achieve their goals, and show up and speak up as their real self.
  • More clarity and sense of purpose
    A better understanding of who they are and an actionable plan towards an inspiring future. They develop a new level of self-responsibility.
  • Better grades
    They manage their time and school work better. They are much more organized and become self-directed learners.
  • Better relationships
    From friends to family to teachers - they’re much better at connecting with the people around them.

It is our honour to have Life Builder's help with our two boys. This service goes much beyond "tutoring."  This company works hard to support children’s goal setting, life planning and organizational strategies. The ability to help children find their internal locus of control regarding homework and healthy decision making is amazing. We trust this company whole heartedly. It is incredible this coaching support is offered in French for our two boys in French immersion. Keep up the great work!

I really appreciate how Emeric's work has improved my quality of life. He gave me tools to approach my life journey differently and see much more clearly where I am going. His approach to life management is playful (“the game of life“) and it motivated me to accomplish the things I had been postponing. Today I feel that I am back in the driver's seat of my life journey and I keep getting better with the tools Emeric gave me.

Emeric has been helping my daughter with math and life skills for over a year. My daughter has a learning disability and has difficulties focusing, remembering, staying organized etc. Emeric is very skilled at what he does. He is knowledgeable, resourceful, and very patient with my daughter. He is very friendly, approachable, and excellent at communicating with parents. My daughter has a clear and personalized learning plan with progress reviews done on a regularly basis. Goals and progress are all tracked online, so organized...!!
