Are you the parent of a struggling teen? Let me help you and your child find success.

These are just a few  wonderful success stories you can read to find out how I can help change your life.
Michele Partyka is a people person. She is able to relate and adjust to individual needs, lifestyles and cultures.  She has a passionate perspective in helping people who are struggling in life, or who may need a fresh perspctive, or redirection in achieving life goals. Michele also has the ability to address potential stumbling blocks as she guides people toward achieving in life. 

Michele's total package came into play when she was given the opportunity to coach my teenage daughter who had just migrated to the USA. She was able to guide my daughter towards becoming culturally adept in this new country and new way of life in school. 

Michele was influential in my daughter's choice for her career path and provided my daughter with guidance towards the academic path necessary to attain her career goals. In addition, I saw my daughter become a well rounded person in all aspects of her life. 

For these reasons I a m grateful for the role Michele Partyka played in my daughter's life.

Ms. Partyka has a wealth of experience as both an educator and parent and she exhibits dedication to both of these vital roles. I have seen her identify changes essential for student success and explain the steps to both students and their families in a clear and effective fashion. I wourld recommend Ms. Partyka as a coach for your child as you navigate the often confusing adolescent years.

I am pleased to write on behalf of Michele Partyka. I had the pleasure of knowing Michele while residing at ther home as a foster child in 2003. Along with the responsibility of caring for me, she was an educator with two beautiful and intelligent daughters. I was always impressed with Michele's ability to recognize the potential in a person and push them foward toward goals they set. 

I have found Michele to be uniquely resourceful and adaptive. she has made an outstanding effort to educate me through a very rough time in my life. The amount of kind acts surpasses anyone I have ever met; she made sure I was attending and meeting with success in school, and she always ensured my well being when she was not able to see to a situation herself. 

I would also like to note that she does not have only one simple teaching style; she enjoys educating others based on their diverse needs and preferences for learning. THis skill is of note because it shows that she is versatile in her professional approach and is able to individualize her approach. 

Michele is very intuitive in her approach with teenagers. She is very open minded and allows them to come to her if they have an issue and she is still able to address the important issues that affect the entire family in a positive fashion. This is important because it is my experience that not many people can approach a family with as much care and consideration as Michele has regarding their success, their potential, and situations that may arise that may hinder their success.

I was fortunate enough to learn success oriented skills from Michele, and I still take those skills with me to this day. I believe that Michele would be a great choice for a life coach for any teenager and their families and the affects of her mentoring will last a life time.

Twenty years ago, when I was going through a really hard time as a middle school student, Michele and I crossed paths. she was my 7th grade teacher. She took me in when DCF had no where to send me and no one to take me in. She showed me how to be responsible and that I should take parts of my life more seriously. Education is very important to Michele and she helped me to raise my stanadards regarding the people I associated with and the people that I look to for guidance. I am very grateful that she hellped me when I needed her. I only regret leaving her home to live with a relative because she had and still has a very powerful impact on they types of decisions I make regarding my life paths. When I set goals, I think to myself - "What wiould Michele Partyka do?" Michele  is probably the person I look upt to and respect most in my life, and I still seek her guidance to this day. 
Growing up in a single parent family with 2 other siblings was hard for me. My Mom worked a lot and when she was home I felt like my older sister and younger brother received a lot of attention. I played sports and enjoyed them but was an aferage athlete. At school I was king of uninterested in learning and I did immature things to get the attention I was lacking at home. Mrs. Partyka was my 7th grade teacher and she really took time to help me in a way that didn t make me feel as if I needed help. She was a great mentor/teacher but she listened to me and explained things about life at a level that I could understand and relate to. She did keep me accountable for my misbehaving but she understood where I was coming frokm. Our relationship of keeping in touch has lasted from middle school to present. I was told at a young age by someone at our school that I wouldn't be anything but a dumb jock and Mrs. Partyka helped me turn that negativity into positive energy thus motivating myself to not only show others that I could be successful, but I also showed myself that I could build a better future for myself... it is me that has the power to determine my future and my destiny. I not only graduated college with two degrees, my senior year I graduated with honors- something I never  accomplished before. I also work for a fortune 500 construction company as a Commercial Construction  Superintendent and I am living the life that I always dreamed of and everyday I strive to do better. Mrs. Partyka and I are still good friends. I would recommend her any day of the week as a great Family Life Coach!  Thank you Mrs. Partyka for helping me find the real me, the Sarah DosSantos that I was meant to be!
