Is your intelligent child underachieving? Or is that you?

We know exactly how to fix that.

We are transformation coaches!

Think of the very best teacher and athletic coach you’ve ever had. Blend those two, and that’s what we do.

But most people don’t train for learning and achievement.

We don’t expect our kids to perform at game time without training, coaching, and practice. But we – and our students – often expect success without the same preparation.

Most people enter the game of learning and achievement with:

We change that. At Motivation Matters, we train intellectual athletes—people who know how to think, learn, and perform under pressure. With us, they build the knowledge, know-how, confidence, and strategies to win, not just survive.

How do we do this?

We have the expertise:

  • Two Ph.Ds in The Science of Learning
  • Master’s degrees in English, Reading, and Physiology
  • Award winning research; it is the basis for our unique IN-Powered© approach

We have the experience:

  • 75 years of combined teaching college, high school, and middle school students
  • 15 years directing college learning centers
  • 20 years conducting professional development training

We have the evidence:

  • 91% of our students see a 2-grade increase (or more) that lasts after our coaching
  • Students working in one subject see upticks in other subjects
  • Professional work goes from “done” to “superbly done”

We are an exclusive service:

  • We accept just a small number of new clients each semester
  • We work individually and personalize the program for each person
  • You or your student will always be coached by us, never a trainee or peer tutor

And we do all this within the framework of yours or your student’s current work and tasks.

How We Work

The 3 Mechanisms of Successful Learning

First, we start with what matters – Motivation!

Motivation ignites the thinking and learning pathways in the brain.

Without that drive:

So, we bring the zest! We help students re-awaken their natural curiosity and desire to learn.

To that, we add Know-how.!

Know-how.!controls and optimizes our Executive Functions (EF), which are the brain-based processes we all come with

Without control:

So, we teach effective thinking and learning strategies during each session.

And finally, we bolster Skills
Skills are our current level of ability. They’re fundamental, mental operations like comprehension and problem-solving.

Without skills:

So, we pay special attention to developing and enhancing skill ability.

In short, learning gains and personal growth are not about studying more or trying harder. Changes come from more Motivation, Know-how, and Skills.

And it’s our goal to empower you with these tools so that you don’t need us anymore. It all boils down to being a master at the game of learning and achievement.
