School-Transition Coach Young Learners

Do you remember what it was like to go to high school? For these children, coaches offer these children a helping hand.

Do you remember what it was like to go to high school? A new building to get lost in, unknown classmates, new subjects plus a mountain of homework and a different teacher every hour. For many eighth graders, the transition to secondary education is exciting and fun at the same time. But not for everyone. Sometimes children lack the skills necessary for a good transition.

Sometimes parents are not able to provide the necessary support.

Coach4you has started offering support for these children in the Stichtse Vecht. Coaches lend a helping hand to make the transition a success. They do this at home, in the child's own environment, in weekly coaching sessions of approximately 1 hour.

At Coach4you, all coaches receive extensive training and good guidance during the coaching process.

• Empathize with the young person's culture.
• Motivate by presenting arguments without prejudice.
• Adopt a flexible attitude.
