Holistic Coaching & Academic Support for Students, Parents & Adults
• Based in Tropical Far North Queensland • Online • Worldwide
Personalised coaching that connects you with your goals — academic, psychological and personal.
Over the last sixteen years, I’ve supported thousands of students and families as a professional educator. What began as academic tutoring naturally evolved into something deeper — helping young people understand their brains, manage executive functioning challenges, improve sequencing, build resilience, and overcome stress and overwhelm.
Today, I offer 1:1 holistic coaching sessions that integrate my qualifications in Education, Psychological Science and Yoga, along with my lived experience as an ADHD adult and a parent of an ADHD teenager.
My work supports students and adults in the areas where learning, wellbeing and confidence intersect.
Academic Support Meets Psychological Insight
I specialise in helping school students build the skills they need to thrive
• English, writing & comprehension support
• Maths foundations & confidence building
• Sequencing, working memory & executive functioning
• ADHD-informed learning strategies
• Study skills, organisation & planning
• Motivation, emotional regulation & resilience
• Support for transitions (Year 10, VCE, university)
Now based in Tropical Far North Queensland, I work with students, families and adults across Australia and internationally through private online coaching sessions.
This is more than traditional tutoring —
it’s coaching for the whole learner.
Every learner is different. That’s why every session is personalised.
How Sessions Work
• 1:1 private Zoom sessions
• Organic, flexible “study-buddy coaching” style
• Guided by each student’s needs on the day
• Warm, safe and encouraging environment
• No lock-in contracts — simply book sessions as needed
• Detailed written session reports provided after each appointment
My approach is grounded in a unique combination of:
• 16+ years experience in education
• A degree in Psychological Science
• Coaching and mentoring expertise
• Yoga & mind-body training
• Professional ADHD knowledge
• Lived experience as an ADHD mind
This combination allows me to support not only academic progress, but also the mindset, motivation and emotional wellbeing that drive true success.
When students understand how their brain works — they thrive.
I work with:
• School students who need academic support and confidence
• Teens with ADHD, anxiety, burnout or overwhelm
• Parents seeking guidance and understanding
• University students balancing study and life
• Adults wanting clarity, direction and personal growth
• Young people navigating significant medical challenges and extended school absence
Author • Educator • Coach
I am the award-winning author of Little People Big Emotions, a resource supporting families, schools and therapists in emotional education. This work reflects my commitment to supporting learners not only academically, but emotionally and holistically.

“Kylie, this is a thank you for the amazing support you offer [Year 11 student]. Apparently, everyone struggled today with the sac, except for [her], and 2 friends, with whom she shared your wisdom. It is the confidence that you give [her] to tackle these tasks head-on that is making all the difference in her approach to English.
In our busy lives, we often forget to acknowledge the people who help us along the way. This is my humble thanks to you for your flexibility and the wonderful guidance you give to [her].

I am just writing to say thanks so much for the amazing email below detailing the process for box graphs. I have been able to follow it and help him complete his maths task.
I tried to make sense of his maths notes and it made no sense.
Thanks so much for having a brain like mine and R’s.
You are a godsend.

“You definitely helped her academically but I think you helped her most in a “life coach” type of way. [She] loved chatting with you and always came away from your sessions with a renewed happiness and positivity which seemed to be so lacking in her for a long time, and for that [we] will be forever grateful.
“Good News – [she] scored an A+ and A in two of her assessments -woo hoo! Loves her studies and her tutoring is doing wonders for her…thanks to you”
Oh my goodness what an absolute gem I stumbled upon, Kylie a complete stranger at the time never hesitated to find time to tutor my 2 children and both my children ( even my quiet rather withdrawn not into anything academic son) clicked immediately with Kylie and her online tutoring.
Kind caring and with such a bubbly personality. Thank you Kylie for being there to guide my children through the final years of their schooling.

“Kylie, thank you so much for all of the help you have been giving [my daughter] this year, it has been such a great support for her. I was wondering if you would be able to give my younger daughter some support next year with Year 11 English? [She] would really benefit from your help!!”
” what a beautiful impact you had/have on [my daughter]. We speak often about how you really were the single most important & positive experience during [her] high school years. The power to transform her learning & restore faith in her abilities is something so profoundly precious. It is indicative of the duty of care you showed my daughter, which actually leaves me speechless. Love your passion to make a difference. You so didin the most profound way.”

“I love that when our students need an extended session you have the flexibility to hang in there and push through the work. They are very lucky to have this level of support…Your support is absolutely worth it.”
“He engaged with you and I think he took a lot in which is awesome!
“Thank you Kylie, we are super impressed with the detail of notes you have sent through.
““Your impact on [my daughter] was/has been nothing short of extraordinary & always treasured. From the moment we met you & you received lots of feedback which I never held back on, you always treated her with the utmost respect. Her learning experience succinctly blossomed because Kylie you nurtured her in such a positive way. It enabled her to bloom & learn her way without fear of what she had previously experienced at school. Because she learns differently the teachers with zero patience nor tolerance blamed her. In reality they were to blame. They just did not care enough to teach in the way she could learn. Kylie Mort you are a true hero & forever indebted to you, for the all the care you took in [my daughter]’s learning experience. And most of all for all the times you supported us through very difficult traumatic experiences as well. Thank you for allowing [her] to thrive.”
“ What an incredibly beautiful impact you had/have on [my daughter] & myself included. Your duty of care towards my daughter’s learning disability & your ability to bring out the best in her, in a subject she feared so much speaks volumes. Making a difference matters so much & that epitomises everything about you Kylie”
“Kylie your incredible adaptation & recognition of how Amy-Summer learnt meant her fear of maths disappeared & the time spent in your tutoring sessions was nothing short of life changing.”
“Kylie Mort Luckily I know I can count on you to go out of your way to help us out. One person can make a difference. So, thank you for consistently choosing to be that person.”

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have (so patiently) offered … in what has been a very tricky year for all of us.
I have no doubt that he went into his [Year 12] English exam feeling better equipped and confident in his abilities …- we are so proud of how he has persisted over the past 2 [pandemic] years.”

“I’ve just read your story in Empowered Women I took in every word spell bound! So well written!! You are a very clever lady, wow, absolutely inspiring Thank you so much for sharing and teaching as you do Loved your piece
“Again a massive thank you for your efforts with our daughter. Just for your info, her teacher did some reading testing on her last week and the teacher reported to me directly that our daughter has taken a massive leap forward. We are very grateful for your support in her learning, as is she”
“You’re such a positive inspiration Kylie I really admire you for it !”
“Oh my gosh Kylie- this is why your work is so important.
Thank you for all of the details in regards to the discussion you have shared… and the fact that you are picking up on things now rather than when what he doesn’t understand becomes apparent a little too late in the classroom.
Not only are you picking up on things but then giving him tools to address it and also letting us know so that we can support him. How I wish we had started with you 6 years ago!”
