If homework is a daily struggle… read this


Hi friend,

Let’s be honest — homework time can feel like the worst part of the day. The reminders, the eye rolls, the “I don’t have any homework!” moments… sound familiar?

This week, I talked with Jessyka Coulter, the founder of ACE Cookie Tutoring, who helps teens (and parents) finally understand why homework battles happen — and how to stop them.

She explained that the real issue usually isn’t motivation or laziness — it’s missing study skills. Kids often don’t know how to learn, so school feels harder than it should. Jessyka’s Love to Learn program and 12 Essential Study Skills teach the tools every student needs for confidence and independence — skills that actually make learning enjoyable again.

She’s also giving away a free resource called The Homework Buster to help you figure out what’s really going on when homework isn’t getting done.

Jessyka also has a Facebook Group, Teaching Teens to Love Learning, a Group for Mamas

Here’s to calmer evenings and kids who actually feel capable (and maybe even excited!) to learn,

Jessyka Coulter's Bio and Links:

Jessyka Coulter is the CEO and Founder of Ace Cookie Tutoring. Her company offers study and executive functioning skills tutoring through her Love to Learn program. She knows most curricula are designed with one particular student in mind who doesn't meet every student's personal learning needs. When tweens, teens, and young adults don't know HOW to learn, they don't enjoy school or learning. When students discover HOW to learn through the 12 study skills Jessyka teaches, they love to learn. This makes school SOOO much better for them (and their parents)! Learning never stops, but it can be tough to start without the right skills.

While study skills are the most important part of Jessyka’s work and make the most difference to teens long-term, she also offers private 1:1 academic tutoring online for the ACT/SAT, proofreading, and tutors all core middle school subjects.

Ask her about her lesson bundles that include content tutoring AND her Love to Learn study skills program.

Hey Reader, Hey, Quick question: Have you ever been on vacation and felt anxious instead of relaxed? Yeah, me too. And I finally figured out why. Turns out, I love routines way more than I realized. When they disappear on vacation, so does my sense of calm. But here's what's interesting - I'm not rigid about WHAT I do (I love variety in activities, clothes, trying new things). I just need consistency in the STRUCTURE and timing of my day. In this week's podcast episode, I'm breaking down: Why...
