TESTIMONIALS

Before coaching i felt very much lost and unaware of how fast things were evolving around. Often times i felt overwhelmed and stressed because i thought i could never ever keep up with the change.

Talking to Miss Nazya helped me realise that change lied within me. She gave me the tools and asked me questions that made me realise i have the ability to achieve what i want if i focus on it. Miss Nazya is the reason i did not experience anxiety anymore when i saw how fast paced my peers and the world was moving because she equipped me with the knowledge that progress is still progress no matter how small it could be.

Through coaching my biggest breakthrough would be finally learning how to time manage properly, get clear on my goals, stay accountable for them and do more activities that engage me to achieve said goal, every single day. Miss Nazya made me realise even the smallest win is still a win. With coaching i learned strategies and techniques which helped facilitate me reaching my goals.

Teacher Nazya has brought out my strengths. She encouraged me to explore my affinity for creative writing, a huge contrast to the restrictive, stock-standard lab reports and argumentative essays I was made to do in school, and supported me through the Commonwealth Essay Competition where I won a silver medal.

At the same time, she pushed me to work on my weaknesses — enabling me to achieve things that I would not have otherwise attempted, such as an A* in IGCSE English at the age of 13. My conversations and debates with Teacher Nazya has also always been enjoyable at the same time honing my language skills and gaining insight into global topics. Besides teaching me English, Teacher Nazya has also played a key role in my choice of further study and had went out of her way to help me arrange a hospital attachment.

Recently, she worked by me in refining my personal statement, providing invaluable advice on communicating my ideas in a polished manner and creating a piece that truly represents me. I am extremely grateful for Teacher Nazya’s guidance over the years. I can confidently say that she has greatly shaped my growth in language and communication, and has left a positive effect that will last into my future.

The Fugee school provides education and a safe space for refugees and stateless children that come from 10 different countries and backgrounds. We were lucky and privileged to have Ms. Nazya as a life coach volunteer to coach and support our students and myself.

Ms. Nazya conducts life coaching workshops, courses, and one-on-one sessions for the students at our school. Her unique coaching style motivates our adolescents and young students to keep engaging in class and influences them to keep learning and attending classes. These students often spread information about Ms.Nazya as new students from different schools would participate in later sessions.

The sessions empower the students, increase their confidence, help them have a growth mindset, be appreciative and positive towards their studies, and guides them to plan better for their studies and the future.

Our students found easier ways and methods to study after the Study Skills workshop she ran. Moreover, the students ran a session, on their own, for their schoolmates who could not attend as they felt the importance of sharing the skills and strategies they had learned.

I, on the other hand, reach out to Ms. Nazya for guidance and help in problems and challenges regarding work or life. I highly recommend Ms. Nazya to anyone who is going through a life transition either in studies or career.

I had counseling sessions in my uni in the US. Coming back home, counseling is still a taboo here so I just accepted my reality for what it was, which made me feel worse and worse as the days went by - there were too many thoughts piling up and I found it difficult to deal with them all. I reached out to Nazya as I find that talking helps me most and she then introduced me to coaching. I had my first coaching session with her and I really started to recognize the difference between coaching and counseling. I never thought I needed coaching, I always thought counseling was sufficient because all I needed was an outlet to talk and let things out.

But after my first coaching session, I realized that coaching did not only provide me with the space to talk and sort out my mind but Nazya was progressively guiding and helping me brainstorm ways I could get over all the hurdles I had talked about. She asked me various questions which led me to dig deeper into my problems, understand where these problems were stemming from, and discuss ways to overcome both the problems and their root cause (the next step).

I find coaching to be much more productive and effective than counseling because after every coaching session, I am equipped with a different mindset, figured out the next steps, and I feel energized and motivated to move forward. I learn a lot of new things about myself and also learn numerous ways to approach future problems and negative thoughts. Additionally, during these sessions, Nazya always reminds me that I am not alone, that everyone goes through negative phases, and that it is normal to reach out for help.

She makes me feel secure and supported, which pushes me to keep going, dreaming, and achieving. I look forward to these sessions as it has helped me in so many ways and has indirectly lifted my confidence again - it helped me settle down back home and is now helping me secure the job of my dreams. I really believe coaching is for everyone.

I was skeptical at first about taking up coaching as I wondered how it would be any different compared to past counseling sessions and seminars that I had joined. Truthfully, I found coaching to be more effective for me. In these sessions, I engaged face to face with Ms. Nazya where I progressively learned more about myself and was guided on ways I can take charge in certain parts of my life.

Ms. Nazya has helped and advised me on how to take actions to improve my future and to overcome self-imposed challenges. I can feel my confidence level building up gradually and changing for the better. My biggest concern at the start was the lack of motivation but I am glad to have received navigations from Ms. Nazya along the way. Overall, I found coaching to be a very pleasant and fruitful experience.

Nazya is truly an awesome human being and is a brilliant student coach. Nazya has coached a wide range of young people in society and it just shows that she can help anyone to grow and develop. She has run events for refugee children on mindset and positivity in order to support these vulnerable young people to make them more successful, happy and confident.

She is also very experienced in Oxbridge applications and has coached highly driven and motivated students to gain a place at top universities. Nazya always goes above and beyond for her clients and I highly recommend her as a genuine awesome coach for young people.
