What Sets Oak & Ivy Apart: Coaching Rooted in Growth, Reflection, and Purpose

At Oak & Ivy, we don’t just help students catch up on schoolwork—we help them grow into who they are meant to be.

Our work begins where traditional academic support ends. We specialize in executive functioning coaching, but we know that real growth happens when you coach the whole student—not just their planner.

So what makes Oak & Ivy different?

A Holistic Framework: Root, Reflect, Rise, Reach

We’ve built our coaching around four interconnected domains:

• Root focuses on core executive functioning skills—organization, time management, attention, and follow-through. This is the foundation for academic success and independence.

• Reflect helps students develop emotional regulation and social awareness. We support them in noticing their patterns, managing stress, and navigating relationships.

• Rise centers on self-advocacy. Students learn how to speak up, ask for what they need, and take ownership of their learning.

• Reach is about looking forward. We help students set meaningful goals, explore their future, and build the skills to get there.

This isn’t just a checklist—it’s a transformational coaching journey tailored to each student.

Student-First, Strengths-Based Coaching

At Oak & Ivy, we view every student through a strengths-based lens. We don’t fix people—we empower them. That means:

• No shame-based language.

• No one-size-fits-all plans.

• And absolutely no treating students like problems to be solved.

Instead, we meet them where they are, ask thoughtful questions, and co-create goals that are both ambitious and achievable.

Support for Families, Too

Coaching doesn’t stop when the session ends. That’s why we offer parent coaching as part of our model—especially for families with students in the program.

We help parents transition from managers to mentors, building alignment between what’s happening at home and what we’re doing in coaching. It’s one of the most powerful parts of our work—and one of the most overlooked in traditional support models.

London-Based, Flexible by Design

We’re proud to offer our services in London, meeting students in public libraries, community spaces, and hybrid formats that fit their lives. Our goal isn’t to create more hurdles—it’s to remove them.

Because when coaching is accessible, relational, and relevant, it works.

The Bottom Line

Oak & Ivy is more than academic coaching. We are a partner in your child’s growth—one rooted in research, reflection, and deep belief in their potential.

If you're looking for a program that blends structure with empathy, accountability with encouragement, and results with humanity, you’re in the right place.
