Q. My high school student has NO CLUE about what they want to do after high school. Can you help?

Yes, I can. I encourage you to join the grade appropriate workshop for you and your child. 

Q. What is the best way to utilize my 60-minute 1-on-1 session?

Once registered, you’ll receive a questionnaire in your email. Complete and return it to Robbyn a couple of days prior to your scheduled appointment to allow for the best possible preparation.
Why prep matters:
 Advance preparation allows our live time together to focus on meaningful discussion, informed options, and confident decision-making—rather than spending the session gathering background information.
1:1 consultations are $150 per session.

Q. Can I book a session with my friends?

If you and your friends are like-minded and have similar post-secondary interests, I would encourage you to book a small group session. Each student will complete the questionnaire prior to the session, and we will work collaboratively throughout it.

Q. My student is a member of a Youth Group/Sports Team/Club and a number of parents are interested in joining a session. What are our options?

You could join up for an online session together as one group. I would ask that one parent be my contact person to share information. Alternatively, if you are within reasonable driving distance, I could come to the youth group/team/club and do an in-person session with the group.

Q. Why should I sign up for a Session when my student is only in Grade 9?

Because proactive high school planning starts in grade 9! You do not want to wait until later grades to provide the opportunity for your teen to ‘make the most’ out of their four years at high school.  Gr 9 student and parents benefit most from a small group session.  Grab a couple of friends and book together!  Cost is $50 per family.
