Where the IB starts with clarity, not chaos.
1:1 coaching for students in Years 9–12 — the right subjects, a real sense of direction, and the study skills and focus to make it happen.
No obligation. Just a conversation about whether Mindship is a fit.
Two things, worked on together.
Most students need help in two places at once: knowing what they're working toward, and having the skills to actually get there. Mindship covers both, from Year 9 through the start of the IB.
Knowing what to study, and where.
- Choosing IB subjects that actually fit — not just what's easiest or most popular
- Exploring areas of study and career direction before it's decision time
- Making sense of the university landscape — countries, systems, and how they differ
- Demystifying the application process, well before senior year pressure hits
Being able to follow through.
- Studying smart, not more — real strategies, not just more hours
- Handling pressure without burning out before the IB even starts
- Building self-organisation that actually sticks
- Learning to focus in a world built to pull attention away
A simple process, at your teen's pace.
Free first conversation
A no-obligation call to understand where your teen is right now, and whether Mindship is the right fit.
A plan built around them
We set a starting focus together — subject choices, direction, study habits, or a mix — based on what's actually needed.
Regular 1:1 sessions
Ongoing sessions that combine practical decisions with the skills and resilience to carry them out.
Heading into the IB prepared
By the time the IB starts, your teen has a direction, a plan, and the tools to handle what comes with it.
Parent Consultations
For parents who want to support these decisions at home — without adding pressure or ending up in conflict about grades, subjects, or the future.
- Understanding what your teen is actually facing during the pre-IB and IB years
- Practical ways to talk about subjects, grades, and the future without it becoming a fight
- Knowing when to step in — and when to step back
Hi, I'm Ivana.
I work with students in Geneva during the years before and into the IB — the window where the right decisions and the right habits make everything after it easier.
My own path taught me that resilience isn't something you're born with — it's built, one clear decision and one good habit at a time. That's what I help students do: think clearly about their direction, and build the focus to act on it.
