Thoughtful support for real learning.

Learn how to learn — with support that thinks with you.

The Study Coach is a place to think, organise, practise, research, and plan. Learners do real work here — writing, calculating, graphing, taking notes, making visuals — with Eddie coaching beside them instead of doing the work for them. Built for children, teens, and adults.

  • Guided support
  • Ethical AI
  • Learner-first

Our promise

More ways into learning.

People deserve more ways into learning, not more reasons to believe learning isn’t for them.

Ask questions without shame

Curiosity is allowed here. Asking again, starting over, or needing another way in is part of learning — not a failure of the learner.

Support that leaves the thinking with the learner

Eddie explains, questions, and helps organise the next move. The ideas, reasoning, sources, and finished work stay with the person doing the learning.

Built for different learners

Different ages, different strengths and different ways in. The Study Coach can adapt how it supports the learner without deciding what that learner is capable of.

French Language Practice

Practise the French you are actually learning in school.

Core French and French Immersion students can save the vocabulary they are learning, listen and speak, and ask Eddie for help with a French worksheet. It is included with The Study Coach membership.

Learning doesn’t happen in a chat box.

Real learning involves lessons, work, notes, research, sources, calculations, visuals, review, and planning. Eddie is available beside that process.

Learn

Math, Reading, Grammar, and Notes Learn teach the skill itself — then send the learner back to real work.

Workspace

My Work is a place to write, revise, and keep thinking visible — with Eddie beside the page when asked.

Math Work

Work pads, graphs, and visible reasoning. Eddie coaches the path; the learner keeps the pencil.

Visual Thinking

Flowcharts, mind maps, timelines, and Venn diagrams that teach a way of thinking — not just a drawing tool.

Review

Come back to what you’ve learned.

Understanding something once is different from being able to remember it, explain it, or use it later. Saved Review, Flashcards, Guided Practice and Practice Test give learners different ways to return to what matters.

Save what matters. Practise remembering it. Explain your thinking. Check your understanding.

Different learners need different ways in.

Type it. Say it. Hear it. See it. The Study Coach can change how it explains without deciding what a learner is capable of studying. Talk It Out turns speech into editable text. Eddie can speak responses aloud. Visual Thinking gives another way to hold an idea.

  • Simple and concreteShorter explanations, everyday words, and smaller steps.
  • Clear and structuredAn explicit sequence, useful examples, and one manageable next move.
  • BalancedNormal academic language, enough detail, and room to work independently.
  • Concise and sophisticatedMore compact instruction when the learner already has the ground under them.

Built with purpose

Built by Trish Faber

Educator · tutor · rehab therapist

For more than twenty years, Trish has worked one-on-one with learners with very different strengths, needs and circumstances, including learners navigating brain injury and other learning challenges. The Study Coach grew from that experience and from a belief that good support should be patient, adaptable and respectful — while leaving the thinking and ownership with the learner.

Learning isn’t just one stage of life; it’s the through-line.
