Schoolwork affects far more than marks
Hi, I’m Lourens. I have spent 30 years teaching teenagers and helping them understand how to learn more effectively. Schoolwork shapes evenings, mornings and the way families speak to one another. The problem is rarely a lack of care. Parents and teenagers often become trapped in the same difficult conversations because neither knows what to try next.I create practical tools that help learners study with greater purpose, help parents provide the right support and help teachers make demanding school weeks more manageable.
