On a gradient This program is so good because everything is in bite size pieces. Each day it’s a quick text chat that covers the habit your child and the coach are working on. I’ve seen my son take accountability for himself because of Coachbit!

Coach Sinovuyo is very supportive Coach Sinovuyo is very supportive, organized, respectful & caring. She communicates her warmth and caring from half a world away & that makes such a BIG difference in motivating students to make those changes that have a positive impact in their lives. She is a Blessing to my daughter. I am grateful to have her in our lives.

Positive 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

Is 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.

Steady 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!
