GBAn absolute waste of time & money This was an absolute waste of time and money. It is not daily coaching, it is working through a sub par app via a slow messaging service. The 15 minute session were probably only 5 minutes if you added up the actual time and 30 minutes if you added up the delay in responses from start to finish. In 3 months my teenage son only was taught he should make his bed. The coaches use scripts that are dated and not beneficial for a teen with horrible analogies. In the end we wasted time and energy and could have used the money getting actual coaching. Please save yourself from this massive disappointment and work with coaches who actually interact with your student.

ZAPositive impact Positive impact From day one when I contacted your organization for support, there was a sense of urgency. The person who responded to my email could identify with my situation. My son's coach (Rivoningo Lubisi) was persistent even in times when I was beginning to lose hope. His patience, and ability to counsel me let alone my son is paying off. I see my son taking ownership of his coaching sessions, tidying his room, and studying without me reminding him. The support I get from coach Rivo as an elder brother figure to my son is highly appreciated being a single parent and my son the only child. Please keep shining and assisting us to make future leaders out of our children. With Coachbit I feel like indeed it takes a village to raise a child. Kind regards

GBPretty good First of all, the UI for the app looks very sleek and modern, which I very much enjoy. The coaching itself is also good, although progress in any unit isn’t made very quickly, so if you prefer a faster speed this program probably isn’t for you. One extremely small thing that really bothers me is the time it takes to load the conversation, sometimes 10 seconds, while also providing no sign that you actually clicked the button. So, essentially, the app is decent, but could definitely be improved. My current coach, whose name is Melissa, also asked to be mentioned by name in this review.

CAIs chatting on a smartphone really going to help your child's executive functioning? After 3 months of Coachbit, the only goals reached were 1) getting up on time (which was not really a problem before 2) making the bed (a good habit, but not strictly related to school work) 3) packing the bag before leaving. Those goals were usually achieved through being nagged by us, the parents. We also had to take an extra 15 minutes out of every morning for the coaching which was mostly small talk, along with sending some pre-recorded videos about why making your bed is important and other trivialities. Giving a teen more access to a smartphone only led to more time wasting - we would have been better off not having Coachbit and keeping the smartphone put away and simply using a whiteboard.

GBSteady and meaningful progress that adds up Our son always looks forward to his check-in with his coach, Justin. He really respects what Justin shares with him during their daily sessions and takes it to heart. Routine and consistency have always been really hard for him, but we have seen steady and sure improvements month by month that come from our son's own motivation and effort, not from constant reminders - and that's huge for all of us. We are big fans!
