About

Michele Partyka

Hi! Let me introduce myself. My name is Michele Partyka. I have been an educator at the middle school level for 27 years. Helping several middleschoolers to navigate the choppy waters to adulthood has been a passion of mine. My coaching certificate is from IAP College. I also earned a BS in Science, a Master's in Education and a CAGS in Administration from Springfield College, Springfield, MA.

I would like to welcome you to my Coaching Parents and Teens web page. I hope to share my 30 plus years of experience as a mom, foster mom, and grandmom, along with my 27 plus years of educator experience, to help you and your child work together to enhance his/her classroom learning experiences. This website will be a resourse for parents who are in search of tried and true ways to help their middle school aged children meet with success both in and out of the classroom.

In addition to my passion for teaching and learning I love spending time with my three year old grandson, CJ. and his baby brother Mariano. I am so lucky because they live on our third floor with their mom and dad, and I get to see them everyday. Watching him learn new things, and being part of their growing and exploration from day to day brings me much joy. Spending time at the beach, kayaking, gardening, painting, and reading avidly are among some of the other activities that I enjoy.

My goal is to provide you with the information necessary to ensure that your child can begin to develop life long skills necessary to enable him/her to meet with success now and in the future.

I am available to coach parents and teens in Western Massachusetts and in the surrounding areas within a 25 mile radius.

I am availble to provide coaching services Monday - Friday between the hours of 4-7 p. m. I may also be able to schedule Saturday morning appointments from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Our first meeting is free and will be used to determine if we will be a good fit working together. Subsequent meetings will be charged on a per hour basis.

Making the decision to take advantage of my coaching services may mean the difference between a happy successful school life experience for your child or an experience where your child struggles daily and becomes frustrated and feels defeated. Choose success for your child!
