Julia & Martin: a Working-Parent Success Story

How It All Started

With their two parents working from home offices, Julia and Martin were independent for much of the day. Although there was schoolwork to be done in their online classrooms, Martin raced through his and played loudly, while Julia and her frustrated whining echoed through the walls, disrupting important business calls. Their parents did their best to provide support between work obligations, but everyone felt overwhelmed and exhausted.

Drowning in tension, their parents quickly realized they needed help. That’s when they came to Vested Academics.

How the Vested Academics Team Helped Julia, Martin, and Their Parents

Academic Coaching—Regular one-on-one sessions with their own academic coaches gave both children the structure and tutoring assistance they needed to stay organized, engaged, and on track.

Modern Tutoring Support—Trained in modern learning technologies, our academic coaches helped Julia and Martin navigate various online platforms and apps provided by their teachers and school, as well as access new helpful resources and learning websites.

Parent Updates & Follow-Up—By sending regular updates, our academic coaches kept both parents up to speed on all the critical details they needed to know, including any important updates from school, emails from teachers, and concerns they had regarding either Juila’s or Martin’s progress.

The Result

While Julia required direct instruction to access her work and coaching to get through it, Martin needed additional resources to explore his academic interests. By starting here, both students began to gain more independence and better manage their time, allowing their parents to return to work and the family to feel more comfortable in their challenging situation.

In fact, things went so well that Julia and Martin kept studying with their academic coaches after they returned to in-person school.
