From the beginning, we were deeply impressed by the professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care shown throughout our child’s assessment. Kelsey took the time to understand the situation thoroughly and prepared a thoughtful, detailed, and comprehensive report. The assessment has helped our family and our child's entire support system better understand current needs and consider the most appropriate support going forward. We are extremely grateful for the kindness, guidance, and concern shown for our child’s well-being. The care and professionalism throughout the entire process meant a great deal to our family.

"What would you do with your time if no one made you?” That was our family’s Champion Covid Challenge when we went into lockdown and were sequestered to our home in Singapore. Dr. Rogers has been coaching my 2 high school children for the last year and also helping me with my start-up. The executive functioning skills that we have developed under her care (and that she emphasised would be our “bridge over troubled water”) saved us during this exceptionally difficult time. Dr. Rogers was instrumental in helping my children flex the EF skills they developed under her care in their e-learning journeys so that they were able to keep up with their studies and end the school year strong. Dr. Rogers also helped us embrace the challenges that COVID and lockdown presented. We accepted her Champion Covid Challenge and with her guidance, took on new projects that we would otherwise almost certainly not have done. The absolute and utmost appreciation from the entire Reddy family for Dr. Rogers’ guidance and continued support!

My daughter, Rosie first met Vicki about two years ago. At 14, she was in deep water, stuck in an unproductive and frustrating cycle of “working hard” on schoolwork, but finding it impossible to retrieve that knowledge when doing homework, tests, etc. Our bright, bubbly, and enthusiastic girl was quickly losing her mojo and becoming more anxious by the week.

Vicki opened the door of her beautiful studio that first day, and it was the start of a wonderful process of change. Over the coming months, Vicki rebuilt Rosie’s whole approach to the school week, from communicating with teachers to scheduling homework to note-taking to revision. Within a couple of weeks, her sense of fear and worry abated as confidence took root. The strategies and systems Vicki had devised not only worked from a productivity angle but were also allowing Rosie to reestablish her sense of capability, control, and agency. This went a long way to giving her a much clearer and more positive way forward at a time when she needed to create a new and stronger platform for herself.

Vicki gives students the enormous gift of confidence - there is nothing that can’t be tackled and addressed using her strategies. Supported by Vicki’s ever-positive, can-do attitude, Rosie has lifted herself out of the doldrums and continues to do well in her schooling, which of course feeds into every aspect of her life.

We are hugely grateful to Vicki for helping us get Rosie on a solid footing. Time spent with her is like a shot in the arm, and we strongly recommend Vicki to any student or parent who might be feeling adrift.

We first learned about Dr. Rogers and the Champion community during a parent coffee at my child’s school. When my family moved from Indonesia to Singapore, it was one of the first things I was encouraged to look into to support my family in their transition, my middle child who has a learning difference, and my oldest child who was entering a critical exam year in her IB diploma program. Dr. Rogers, her Champion community (which truly has been a blessing for my family and our transition to a new country--our 3rd in 5 years!), and even Champion’s Facebook site have been oxygen for us. Dr. Rogers is helping to support my oldest in exam prep and answering the “What’s next?” question after graduation, coaching my middle child in developing important executive functioning skills for his learning and school, and helping me figure out how to navigate a new country and school for my kids. Dr. Rogers is our oxygen and we feel more confident about our respective duties and responsibilities as a result of her support. She keeps attempting to “Champion us out” but I’m not ready! That said, I know if we had to do it alone, we could because of what we have learned from her. Thank you, Dr. Rogers!

We were referred to Dr. Rogers by Dr. Roby Marcou for support for our IB student, who has executive function issues, i.e. challenges in getting organised. As IB progressed and our daughter felt increased stress and anxiety, Dr. Rogers became more than an executive functions coach. Our daughter went through a period of refusing to go to school and wanting to transfer out of her IB program.

Dr. Rogers provided a calm, experienced voice working with our daughter to get back on track, finish up her requirements and graduate on time from her IB program.

Had Dr. Rogers not been there providing support to our daughter (but not doing the work for her!), I honestly do not believe that our daughter would have graduated.

Dr. Rogers was always available, providing advice both for our daughter and us, including book recommendations to help us, as parents, gain a better understanding of what our daughter was going through and how best we could help.

Dr. Rogers also provided suggestions for what to do in a gap year, where our daughter is currently and thriving.

We are happy to recommend Dr. Rogers to any student with studying challenges or who needs an academic coach. We are, and always will be, very grateful that Dr. Rogers was available to support our daughter.

My wife and I were lost in trying to figure out how to navigate our children's schools, teachers, administration, and learning process until we started seeing Dr. Rogers. Dr. Rogers is helping us learn how to best communicate with schools (specifically, the language to use and not use!) so that our wishes are heard. She is also helping us understand the complicated (to us anyway!) pathways that our high school children are navigating so that we can support them in planning ahead and knowing what to expect in their learning journey (both my wife and I were educated in a different system than our children are in). Most significantly, however, she is coaching us, through a Strength-based coaching model, which is helping us make generative decisions about how to be our best selves and meet our goals. She played an instrumental role in helping our senior think through the complicated process of shortlisting universities that align with her strengths and are an optimal fit for her academic interest. My children connect, respect, and really look forward to seeing Dr. Rogers. As a former international school student and teacher, they felt like they had a lot more in common with her than with their parents--understandably! Dr. Rogers' ability to connect quickly and establish rapport is exceptional. It's not an over-exaggeration to say that we all feel a lot more functional and confident because of the coaching, consulting, and wise counsel we are receiving from Dr. Rogers. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I entered Dr. Rogers' course thinking I would learn a few useful tips and tricks. While my original method of working late nights was sufficient enough to pull me through semester one, I felt I had room for improvement. Instead, what I took away from the session was a radically different view, not only based on speculation but proven through successful trials and analyses. Her lessons gave me insight into how we could use the brain to learn faster and easier, the ability to organize the little portions of time into an hour of solid work, and the skills I needed to prepare for any upcoming test. After coaching from Dr. Rogers and applying the new set of skills learnt, I was able to comfortably manage my time while playing sports at a high-intensity level (2-3 hours a day) and still maintain a GPA of above 3.85 for the next semester. Looking back, I cannot believe how much I have grown in such a short amount of time, and my deepest thanks go out to Dr. Rogers.

Dr. Rogers was introduced to us by Dr. Marcou to help support our teenage ADHD child's executive functioning skills. However we, as a family, and our child got so much more than this from Dr. Rogers. She helped navigate some very tricky and unpleasant school situations including a transition, with the benefit of her years of experience. She was always on hand with a listening ear and practical advice. Above and beyond anything she does to help with organisation and the practical side of schooling and learning she is a very warm empathetic human - both to the student and to the family. This small paragraph can never do justice to all she has meant to us.

Our son started working with Dr. Rogers four months ago; back then we had a child who didn’t want to go to school, had erratic grades of 3’s, 4’s, 5’s and an occasional 6 (IB) and he could not organise himself or any of his school work. With reluctance and skepticism, he attended the Champion Study Skills Seminar. This was an evident turning point for him where he gained confidence and hope from the new skills he learned. Over the next few months, he started to mature more in his schooling by applying the skills and strategies that were continually reinforced and developed in his coaching sessions. As Dr. Rogers got to know and understand him more, we could clearly see bonds emerging, and in turn, his trust and huge respect for her developed. Her guidance and mentoring for our son at a really difficult time in his life was in no doubt the reason why he gained confidence, hope, skills and motivation to turn the school semester around and end the year with mostly 6’s and 7’s, achieve Honour Roll and be recognised with a “Rising Star Award” for significant academic improvement!

As a parent, the support, guidance, and coaching I personally received were equally important. Having a child with some challenges can at times be a very lonely road, but with Vicki, I knew I had back up. From navigating educational psychologist reports to accommodation plans to challenging teachers to behavioural issues to just needing a cry, Vicki was there for us and provided exceptional support. I honestly cannot say enough about how amazing she has been and how utterly grateful we are for the exceptional gift she has in relating to our kids. We want to take her with us when we leave Singapore!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Vicki!!!!

My daughter has always been a “good student”, but I could see her stress and anxiety increasing as she started high school. I wanted to help but didn’t know where to start. I had never been taught study skills in school! I have noticed a big difference in my daughter’s study habits since she took Dr. Rogers’, “Crack Your Learning Code: Death of the All Nighter” seminar and started seeing her regularly! She really looks up to her and I can totally see why!!

We have our family back. We have repaired our relationship with our children and with each other through having established some very important (and long overdue) boundaries, schedules, and expectations. Dr. Rogers is an excellent parent coach and teacher. Her strength-based approach has given us our confidence back and helped us see what we each contribute to our family unit. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Dr. Rogers!

We arrived in the Champion studio in trouble. My wife and I knew that we needed support in finding a co-parenting platform to guide our children (we have 5!). Through our weekly sessions with Dr. Rogers, we have gained a newfound appreciation for our parenting journey and learned how we can both contribute in generative and collaborative ways. Dr. Rogers gives us tasks and “parenting homework” to complete between many of our sessions, which help us to focus on developing specific parenting skills. Our kids see the difference, but more importantly, we are a happier and more cohesive family than ever. Dr. Rogers, thank you ever so much!

My grades have never been better since I started to see Dr. Rogers. She has taught me how to manage my time and prioritize my days in ways that MAKE SENSE TO ME. Also, the study and test-taking skills she has taught me are more useful than I could ever imagine. I just got my final grades back for the first semester and am psyched because I made the scholars' list, which means I have a GPA higher than 3.7! I couldn't have done it without Dr. Rogers’ support…for sure!

Vicki is definitely one of the best coaches with the most marvellous personalities I've ever met. The IB results of my son would not be the same without the tremendous effort and outstanding support from Vicki. From the first meeting (and the many that followed), Vicki was fully committed and able to establish an outstanding relationship with my son on many different emotional levels. Impressively, she managed to do this within an extremely short period of time! Vicki provided the perfect balance of guidance, coaching, academic support, and “kick in the pants” right when my son needed it the most. Her close communication loop with us as the parents helped us all work together as a team in support of my son and his exam preparation. What is really remarkable was her seemingly endless 24/7 availability, and her non-stop effort and energy in helping my son overcome some crisis situations during his “coaching journey”. We really feel privileged that Vicki took our son under her wings. We are truly thankful for her in our lives.

Spending a Saturday in a study skills seminar was not my idea of fun or relaxing. And then I met Dr. Rogers. SHE IS FUN! I spent 6 hours listening to her tell stories that related directly to the science behind learning and learning study tools that I needed to help me in school. I’ve been studying ALL WRONG! Best 6-hour investment of my academic career, and just in time for exams. And yes, I apologised to my parents for giving them so much grief for signing me up. ps: She baked cookies for us as one of our many snacks. Who does that?!

Both my son and daughter attended Dr. Rogers’ “Crack Your Learning Code: Death of the All Nighter!” student seminar and came away with heaps of ideas and resources that they were able to put to use right away in all of their subjects at school. The best part for me as a parent was hearing them talk about WHY certain study techniques were more effective than others, and really start to understand the science behind their learning. They also now share a common learning language and check on each other to make sure they are using the right tools for the task and not falling back into old habits. This seminar should be a mandatory prerequisite for all middle schoolers and high schoolers. I can only imagine how much more I would have enjoyed my learning journey if I knew what my kids now know about learning!

My son is in the IB system and at a critical juncture in his schooling. We needed some study skills and time management ideas STAT to get him through his mocks. As a seasoned teacher, I thought I would be able to help him through this difficult time, but I wasn’t confident in my own ability to teach him effective study techniques. Truth be told, I wasn’t taught this in my teacher training and am not exposed to this in any of the professional training I have been involved in. Dr. Rogers was able to make sense of the science behind learning and teach my son how to study. He came out of her seminar with a great sense of relief having finally learned how to learn. I am definitely going to be using some of the things he learned with my students. The challenge will be to unlearn the many ineffective study habits that my son has taught himself over the years and to use what he learned in seminar to guide his learning moving forward. I see him more motivated than I have in a long time!

I’ve been working with Dr. Rogers via weekly Skype sessions. We meet and talk about the challenges I’m facing being away from home (my family still lives in Asia; I’m going to college in the States) and being a TCK. Because she went through the exact same experience, I feel like I can relate to her and trust her advice. Plus, she’s really easy to talk to. I tell her things I don’t tell other people. Dr. Rogers has also helped guide my course selection and goal setting. We use a lot of strengths language in our conversations. I love it. My parents often say they wish they had an academic life coach when they were in college. I’m in the middle of applying for a summer internship position and will be working on interview strategies and techniques with Dr. Rogers. Thank you, Dr. Rogers, for all of your academic and life advice!

Dr. Rogers is well-positioned as a partner of parents and teachers to find an approach that works best for students who may be struggling in school. Her education expertise is put to use as she navigates my son’s school to make sure we are using available resources effectively. She has worked wonders with my son, earning his trust and providing much-needed structure, new habits, and skills. They have honest and deep conversations, not all of which I am privy to. I appreciate this as I'd like my son to feel safe and comfortable talking about where he has issues. I am starting to see his initiative, self-advocacy, and self-esteem flourish.

I was making terrible academic choices and social choices for the first couple of years in high school. Before Dr. Rogers started working with me, I was honestly really depressed and stressed about….everything. I sort of quit on school, on my family, and on myself. Dr. Rogers helped me uncover my strengths and refocus my attention on what I was good at. It was refreshing to hear that I didn’t suck at everything! But she also held me accountable to my learning and taught me important study skills that I knew nothing about. I’m now fighting to get my GPA up before I graduate so I can go to the college that I want to. I’m thankful I found (well, my parents found) Dr. Rogers when they did so I had time to see what I was doing to myself and my future, AND have time to turn it around!

When I met Dr. Rogers, I was a mess. My lifestyle habits were horrible and my study skills were non-existent. Dr. Rogers taught me the skills that I wish I had learned from my teachers years ago. I feel like I have wasted so much time trying to figure out ways to learn better and get my grades up. Who knew study skills were actually a thing?! I’m not the same student this year as I was in 9th grade--thank GOD!

Dr. Rogers is my personal high school hacker!! She is teaching me very specific (and USEFUL) strategies on how to be more productive when I’m in class listening to class lectures, and when I’m studying. I have had to unlearn some really bad habits and that has been hard..really hard. I also had terrible time management and absolutely no sense of organization. My diet sucked and my sleep habits were non-existent. Dr. Rogers helped me understand the science behind diet, nutrition, sleep, and brain function. Dr. Rogers is tough with me when I need it. She holds me to very high standards, much higher than I had for myself. I’m working on my self-esteem and confidence. My grades are getting better, I don’t need as much extra tutoring as I did in the past. I actually feel GOOD about school for the first time...maybe ever. The only thing I would change is the timing that I met Dr. Rogers. I wonder how much more confident I would be if I had her as my coach throughout high school.

I’ve known Dr. Rogers for several years. All 3 of our children had Dr. Rogers as a teacher and now a coach. We have seen first-hand her drive and passion for helping students succeed and live meaningful and purposeful lives! All 3 of my children are very, very different, and yet Dr. Rogers was able to personalize her coaching to each of their individual and unique areas of need. She not only knows her stuff but is living it through Champion. Best of all, I don’t have to be the “task manager” of my children anymore!

Your study tips have given me so much insight into high school that I wouldn’t have known before. Thank you for your time and effort...and most of all, TIPS! They have changed my high school experience already and are going to set me up to succeed in college.

Dr. Rogers taught me different techniques to learn and remember information better. She helped me understand how my brain worked (not at all like I thought!) and how to choose appropriate study techniques for each subject that helped my brain remember what I was taught more easily. I didn’t even know these “tricks” existed! Now studying feels so much more manageable (and a lot less boring!). I used to feel very discouraged about school but now I feel a lot more successful!

With three children ages 9-16, and experience across private and public schools in the US, Dr. Rogers is one of the most impressive educators we have ever met. When our oldest son was struggling right before midterm exams, we engaged Dr. Rogers as his coach. Within weeks she was able to help him improve his motivation and study habits, as well as his grades.

Dr. Rogers is direct and firm, but also a great listener and a kind human being who takes a personal interest in her students that extends well beyond academics. Her approach is holistic and she spends a lot of time getting to know your child as a person, understanding his/her motivations, social pressures, and how these affect the focus and academic success of a student.

As our middle child enters high school, we are also planning to hire Dr. Rogers as his coach. We have found no one remotely like her in Singapore (or in the US for that matter) and strongly recommend Dr. Rogers to help your child realize his/her full personal and academic potential.

I was on academic probation when I met Dr. Rogers. The Dean made it clear that I needed to get my act together this semester or was going to be dismissed. I was scared and angry. I knew that I had some habits that were responsible for my grades, but I was also putting in more effort than people believed and that made me mad. Dr. Rogers helped me sort out my bad habits, learn better ones, and most importantly taught me how to learn. She also made it clear that she wasn't going to keep me on if I wasn't ready to commit to the changes she was coaching me through. Well, I committed, and I learned, and I'm no longer on academic probation! I'm actually starting to enjoy my major because things are starting to make sense and the learning doesn't seem so hard or boring anymore! Dr. Rogers is the most important Skype relationship I have!

Vicki you in particular, and your team, had such a big and amazing impact on my daughter’s final IB results. You also helped to get an appointment with the pedestrian, which looked impossible but made a massive difference. I thank you with all my heart for what you have done for us, amazing. Please also pass our regards and thanks to “ Guru Joel”. His leadership and can-do attitude made a difference. Thanks again Vicki, stay safe and healthy, take care, and all the very best for you and your family.

Despite only working with Vicki during my senior year, her coaching allowed me to approach my final exams with a solid roadmap to success. As a result, my preparation felt neither stressful nor mentally taxing. Between digestible periods of focus, I enjoyed some of the things I love most: tennis, gymming, and eating out with friends. Vicki’s training ultimately allowed me to attain peak performance with few compromises between academic excellence and social enjoyment.

I honestly would not have made it through 2021 without you, and I cannot thank you enough for all your support. You always believed in me when I did not and always stuck by my side through all the ups and downs. You taught me so many new skills and taught me so much about myself, especially that I can do hard things (which eventually became my senior yearbook quote!). I am so grateful to have such an incredible person in my life. You are amazing, Vicki. I cannot wait to have you follow me through my next adventures.

COVID was hard enough as it was, but without Dr. Rogers and her team, I shudder to imagine where my kids would have been. Dr. Rogers and her team were already working in hybrid learning platforms (in-person and virtual) before COVID, which paid great dividends when Home-based Learning kicked in as a result of COVID. Critically, however, were the executive functioning skills that Dr. Rogers taught my kids, which, without them in place, I am sure they would have struggled significantly. COVID is/was challenging in and of itself. Having a solid system of learning, organization, and time management in place was “the bridge over troubled waters” (as Dr. Rogers said!). Thank you to Dr. Rogers and her team!

We cannot thank Dr. Rogers for her continued encouragement and support of our son. She has walked with him through many different ages and stages of his learning journey, guiding him but also pushing him to develop his cognitive flexibility. Our so would absolutely not be celebrating the academic milestones (making honor roll again and overcoming personal challenges to name just a few!) without Dr. Rogers’ guidance. Equally, we cannot imagine how LOST we would be in the education system without her advice along the way. We are counting our blessings and will remain forever grateful for Champion support.

I am not sure how I would have made it through IB without Dr. Vicki coaching me through the tough last year. The skills and techniques she taught me about my executive functioning skills aided me in having my best academic year yet. I am beyond grateful for her time and effort and am now equipped with the tools to take me into University.

I was tutored by Joel from 2015 to 2017, during which I was taught Maths, Chemistry as well as Economics.

In 2015, when Joel started tutoring me, I remember how academically weak I was. I had a weak foundation in both Mathematics as well as the Sciences and on top of that, I also possessed a poor learning attitude; whereby I lacked motivation and discipline which caused me to lag behind my peers in school. However, things took a drastic turn when Joel started mentoring me and I’m glad to say that it was most definitely a positive change.

His friendly and bubbly nature made communication easier and his non-judgemental approach created a conducive and healthy environment for me to learn and absorb the most. I was never afraid to clarify my doubts or ask questions. His personal interest and passion in the subjects he taught catalysed the same interest in me. I was motivated to work harder in school and started adopting good studying habits, some of which were drawn from the advice Joel had shared with me.

Joel is extremely dedicated to his students; he always goes out of his way to check up on us and goes the extra mile to help us. He took a personal concern towards my grades and performance in school. I can safely say that without Joel, I would not have achieved 9 points in my O level Examinations. I will forever be indebted to him for propelling me forward and helping me to realise my own potential. For someone who was getting a bunch of Cs and Ds for internal school examinations, even dreaming of getting 9 points for O levels may have seemed to be an impossible and unrealistic goal. But Joel never gave up on me or saw me as a failure that was beyond any help. He didn’t just teach me for the sake of it. He genuinely wanted me to succeed and was there throughout my journey.

Anyone who has the great fortune of being tutored by Joel in math and science truly in good hands.

Before starting my lessons with Joel, I was mainly struggling with Economics. We decided it would be good to review from the beginning of the year so we could make sure I had a strong understanding of the foundations of the topic. I now feel much more confident in the subject and have learned to think with more complexity and now know how to appropriately answer questions by incorporating key terms. My issues have been addressed and we now review topics occasionally to make sure my understanding is always correct. I also struggled with Chemistry and after a couple of sessions, started understanding the topic much more thanks to the precise explanations Joel gave. My basics to the subject are much stronger and this has benefitted me to use my knowledge in test questions which may not always be completely related to the unit. I highly recommend Joel to anyone as his lessons are really engaging and I have tremendously benefitted from the lessons.

I was struggling with AP Economics and mathematics. I benefited with Joel because I felt that I had a way better understanding of things I learned in class days before. I would 100% recommend this to others because these sessions are making me become more knowledgeable about a course I’m taking to get a better grade and understanding.

I am writing with enthusiasm to thank Joel Randall. I know Joel from when he was my teacher a couple of years ago. I was taught by him during Secondary School and continued under his tutelage until I graduated from Junior College (JC). This adds up to 5 years of being tutored by him (from 2013-2017). He taught me Economics and Mathematics in JC and the Sciences when I was in Secondary School. His undying passion for teaching and his natural ability to let him be understood really helped me progress academically.

Joel possesses many qualities that really make him suitable to be a teacher. One of them being how he goes the extra mile to perfect his teaching process. He understands how precious time can be for a JC student and created his own set of concise notes to let me grasp the economic and math concepts faster. This in turn allowed me to allocate more time to practice on my writing and thought-process skills. Time-management skills were something else I learned from him. During his free time, he created an organised schedule for studying (for every subject I used to take) which helped me to create my own systematic way of studying.

Joel also created study groups within his students, based on their age and the subject he was teaching, for us to learn from one another. This really opened my eyes to how others were tackling their exam questions and I was able to gain inspiration from them. On top of that, it served as a platform for friendly competition to take place. Without a doubt, this gave me the boost I needed to stay motivated during those stressful exam periods.

Most importantly, Joel is not just some tutor my parents hired for me to get better at school. Over the years we developed a kind of familial bond. He was like an older sibling to me. Outside of just the academic portion of life, he would give me suggestions and tips for my future and career-planning. He even let me read his own academic readings and personal essays to illustrate ideas and theoretical suggestions/arguments. He even goes out of his way and, whenever possible, extends lessons for me whenever I needed it.

Before I started my tuition with Joel, my Science used to be very weak. I did not understand the topics and I was too afraid to ask anyone for help. I was scoring 74 to 77 for Science and I had many doubts. When I started my tuition journey with Joel, he picked up on my lack of confidence and patiently worked to help me develop my understanding and eventual confidence. I really appreciated it. I started to notice a drastic improvement in my practice papers (about 10 marks). I also found that I was able to optimize my learning in school and understand more of what my teachers were teaching. Very thankful Joel.

Joel is now teaching me Secondary 1 Mathematics and Science and I am doing well. In my opinion, the qualities that stand out for Joel is his patience and his willingness to go the extra mile for his students. For example, he regularly gives me extra materials to work with. He also writes notes for me at times that I can refer to for practice. I feel that these qualities really make Joel stand out from other tutors. I am extremely thankful to him for his investment in my educational journey.

Having worked in international schools as a counselor for almost two decades, I can attest to the fact that Cindy Gilbert is a true gem. Cindy is a professional with the highest integrity and professionalism. It was invaluable having Cindy as a school psychologist to collaborate about student concerns and have her professional guidance on creating optimal education plans. Cindy works with parents, but what stands out to me is how she works with students. Cindy spends hours with students and families assessing - in my experience, the student is often forgotten in the follow-up. Cindy is a compassionate professional who includes the child to help them understand, at their developmental level, their strengths, abilities, and how to build on their skills. Collaborating with Cindy in creating a therapeutic plan was always meaningful and purposeful. She provides families with a thorough understanding of their child's development, goals, and action steps. I cannot speak highly enough about Cindy's expertise and kindness in working with families.

As a fellow clinician and colleague, I had the pleasure of working with and regularly consulting with Cindy. Throughout our tenure together, she showed leadership and knowledge of best practices to promote learning. What impressed me was her ability to interact in a wonderfully personable manner, as evidenced in her extraordinary relationship with her students, teachers, administrators, and parents.

Cindy demonstrated sensitivity to the child’s environment and needs to determine appropriate services and programs beneficial to students with special learning needs. As part of a multi-disciplinary team, she collaborated with staff members to coordinate student interventions. At the same time, Cindy took the initiative to work with parents to help them understand the needs and problems of the children and manage their children’s behavior in a positive, constructive manner. Cindy is both a parent and professional, and she uses her experiences to make a difference in the lives of her students.

Cindy’s evaluation reports were useful and provided comprehensive assessments for academic, attention, and learning disorder concerns. Her recommendations were practical. In addition, Cindy conducted workshops for teachers to further understand their students. She made herself available to teachers to help them implement classroom management activities in their classrooms. Cindy genuinely puts a priority on the academic and emotional success of her students.

I first met Mrs Gilbert during COVID when I had some difficulties when being calm. He helped me process the logical outcome of the scenarios I shared with her and comforted me when I had anxiety during the day. She constantly checked in on me in her free time. She is caring, compassionate, and probably the best counsellor I’ve ever had. She also helped me dearly when my dog ran away, although my dog was never retrieved or found. Mrs. Gilbert said extremely comforting things and made me feel better about the situation.

What I will write here will not even begin to aptly describe the depth of gratitude I have to Dr. Rogers and her team. They literally and decisively changed the trajectory of my son's life. My son is 2E with ADHD and his school environment was failing him miserably despite my advocacy year after year. He was falling behind academically in school and his self-esteem was withering away. He had no social and no academic interest because he felt incapable and stupid. His school was content to let him slip through the cracks. He wasn't disturbing any other students' learning, so it didn't matter that he wasn't learning. He was struggling to survive.

Enter Champion Coaching & Consulting. The first major milestone they helped us achieve as a family was changing schools. Enrolling my son in a school that was willing AND had the ability to be part of his village was one of the best pieces of advice Dr. Vicki gave my husband and me. This undoubtedly put our son on the right trajectory. To give you a better idea, his previous school moved him down to "remedial" math because they didn't think he could grasp the work. His new school instantly recognized that he was not being adequately challenged and moved him into an accelerated math class where he excelled.

Dr. Rogers and her team look at the whole child and not just their academic ability. Their genuine belief in the potential of every child is what sets them apart. He always walked out of his Champion sessions feeling accomplished and empowered (even on his most exhausting school days). He was always seen and heard EVERY. SINGLE. SESSION. With every engagement, Dr. Rogers was assessing and adjusting so that even on the days where my son could only muster up 50% of his energy, she adapted so that he was proud that he gave 100% of that 50%. Dr. Rogers, Pan Pan (his Chinese tutor) and Irfan (his math tutor) worked with my son to not just develop the academic skills but to also develop the confidence he needed. They scaffolded his learning in a way that he could replicate on his own. I always joked with them that they had magic fairy dust because the same boy that entered through the doors of Studio C always walked out happier and more content regardless of what state he was in when he walked in.

When I look at where my son started as an overwhelmed 5'-5" 7th grader with what felt like insurmountable challenges stacked against him, to where he is now, a 6'-1" 10th grader who is learning to navigate a whole new life in a new country and school system with determination and fortitude, I can say we have been truly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Rogers and her team. The transformation in my son has been nothing short of amazing.

My son started to see Dr. Rogers after a very stressful time when he was in the middle of grade 12, and his grades and confidence had fallen a lot since a very successful IGCSE. Dr. Rogers helped him not only with executive functioning skills but also get his confidence back and get his sleep in order, and overall, he (and the rest of our family) were just relieved. It was like we were losing the battle, and then the cavalry finally arrived to our relief! It was crunch time to IB--Dr. Rogers and Mr. Joel both pitched in with executive functioning skills and tuition, helping our son get organized enough to conquer the previously overwhelming deadlines. Studio C was just a place our son liked to go to where stuff got done in a pleasant, productive environment. IB is done, but my son still goes to see Mr. Joel a couple of times a month just to keep his math brain active before college begins. Champion is also a happy place for him to go to--where he feels content and warmly welcomed and appreciated.

My son was diagnosed with ADHD at an early age and required extra support in certain areas and school subjects to help keep him on track. Unfortunately, the numerous tuition centers we tried seemed unable to cater to his specific needs, some even being counterproductive by placing extra stress on him. What a revelation to walk into Dr. Roger’s warm, welcoming, and personalized learning center, where my son instantly felt at home. He has thrived under Dr. Rogers and her team’s guidance and care over the last 4 years and actively looks forward to attending his sessions. Both my children are now in their final year of IB, and my daughter has also attended Champion over the last two years. A big shout-out to Joel, who they both adore, who has on so many occasions gone over and above duty to be not only a tutor but a counselor and trusted friend, helping the children regain their perspective, motivation, and self-confidence. The support provided has been extraordinary, and we cannot thank the Champion team enough!
