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 past two decades, 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:

• 20+ 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].

“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.

Thank you for all you did for [our daughter], you are a wonderful lady who truly helped her in so many ways, not just with her essays!!

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.

Well done to you. That’s a massive achievement. I love that it is a children’s book but it is also a good reminder for us adult/educators/parents of being more aware and in tune about others emotions, reasoning and situations as well as our own!!

Children’s Book Purchaser commenting on ABLE Book Award 9 Oct 2022

“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!!”

Ongoing parent client, 3 Oct 2022

” 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.”

““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.”

Client via Facebook 29 April 2022

“ 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”

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!”

So excited to be back in your tuition with you Kylie Mort. Amy-Summer has been looking forward to it. We actually never left just life got in the way, and your sense of understanding, support and never ending patience and behalf in us and especially Amy-Summer has meant she Knows she is in capable hands and that you know exactly how to pick up where you left off with her. Your teaching style is so innately Intune with how she process information. Because she knows this she automatically feels confident that she is in not only in good hands but her anxiety in relation to Math’s has evaporated. You are an incredible teacher with an understanding of not only your students, but being abundantly aware of their well being is so evident and pivotal in terms of what makes you that much better at what you do. Have said many times before , if you are thinking about a tutor Look no further than BPT Private Tuition. Kylie at the helm is just brilliant in how she can look at the whole student’s needs and then adapt her teaching style so it fits so innately into how each individual student learns. Each student is different, and Kylie’s recognition of this is what places her at a level of excellence most teachers would find simply unattainable. You can’t teach that. It is what makes BPT Private Tuition so incredible. We still travel 140 km round trip to attend tutoring with Kylie. So worth it. The impact BPT has had on Amy-Summer is so overwhelming positive that cannot recommend her highly enough. And her other tutors are as epic as she is…..Kylie you are 5 stars. Lou Lou, (2020)

You got me through! Erin

VCE Student, (Class of 2018)

My son went to Kylie in his last year of high school for help with English for his VCE exams. He enjoyed the sessions and got a lot from it. Not only did he learn essay structure and how to follow through with his ideas, but he loved their chats and debates on the topics. Kylie gave him the skills to be successful in his exams and carry those skills to his first year of University. His first year he achieved great results on his essays which allowed him to change his course to a double degree of Bachelor of Laws / Arts with a major in Politics. Thanks Kylie for giving him the skills needed to achieve greatness Dannielle
