"What Parents Are Saying"

★★★★★

Real Life GPA/Jeanne Fain has been a life-saver and I can’t sing their praises enough!  My child is extremely intelligent, but due to having ADHD, he struggles with being able to handle the minutia in classes that take up the majority of high school work.

"During middle school, we needed help navigating a life situation with our son. Jeanne Fain was knowledgeable, compassionate, and supportive throughout. Jeanne made herself available to listen, and we felt she was always invested in the outcome.

We were blessed with her warmth and caring nature. The life skills he learned put him in a successful position today. I support Real Life GPA as a trusted resource." ... See more

"Jeanne Fain engages each young person to find the best version of themselves. She communicates with each client and quickly identifies where she can assist. My son is a procrastinator and loved to sign up for everything and would become frustrated when he would miss deadlines.

Jeanne helped him learn the importance of giving 100% to a few things and prioritizing tasks he needed to complete. I watched as he began to incorporate the tools and ideas that Jeanne shared with him. His confidence soared and he is now able to manage his time and tasks independently. Thank you so much Jeanne!

She has this incredible patience and non-judgmental attitude that makes it easy to listen and follow her direction. I've always been insecure about my accent, but she helped me to appreciate the way I speak and interact. However, we did work on articulation and speaking in public. When she was my boss, I wanted to lead like her... See more

I have nothing but praise and support for Jeanne Fain and Real Life GPA as academic counselors and life skills coaching, Jeanne worked with two of our children and benefited from Jeanne’s skill and guidance. 

Jeanne is not only an accomplished and exceptional academic coach in her own right, but she also possesses a thorough understanding of the challenges facing the millennial generation of today as they proceed through young adulthood on their way to independence. 

Jeanne and her team possess a unique ability to bond with and motivate teens and young adults... See more

"I used to think it was all about ACT and GPA ... It's really about soft skills that set you apart."
