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.  His grades plummeted my
husband and I were stressing over where his future was headed.  When Jeanne came on
board, it truly took so much pressure off of me and she helped me to let go of doing so much for
our son. Jeanne pushes him, but in a way that encourages him to listen to her, which is huge! 
She is incorporating tools into his daily life and feel he is now prepared for college and
adulthood.  I joke that she is his fairy godmother! If you have a child struggling with
procrastination, organization, deadlines, finances, or any other daily life skills, I recommend
Jeanne and Real Life GPA. I truly believe we could all use Real Life GPA in our lives.

"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."

"Jeanne Fain taught me the importance of 'leaning in' before Sheryl Sandberg coined the phrase. I didn't know anything about corporate America or how to present myself as a confident woman. Jeanne helped me realize my potential. We worked on public speaking and building confidence. 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. I credit a lot of my success to Jeanne. I am a Columbia graduate, ESPN editor, former People Magazine reporter and writer, and freelancer for various magazines and websites. She will help you embrace your real self. No matter your background or experience, she will always meet you where you are, and you will never feel small in her presence. You have to experience Real Life GPA for yourself. She will not let you down."

"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!" 

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. Real Life GPA espouses that individual success remains the sole possession of the student, and only by them taking responsibility for their own actions and choices can each student’s potential be fulfilled. I will affirm that our daughter's successful struggles with personal independence, accountability, responsibility and her resulting academic and personal accomplishments were achieved under Real Life GPA’s direct support and guidance.
