Ep. 28 Coaching and Mentoring Teens with Jason Kantor

In episode #28, I talk to Jason Kantor, a homeschool teacher and mentor to struggling teens. 

Jason lives in Queens, New York and has worked with students in several capacities, including as a tutor in a scripted, academic private setting which definitely taught him a thing or two about what being a teacher truly means. He has worked with kids from all walks of life and from all family backgrounds. The one thing he realizes each child needs for learning is a connected relationship.

Jason shares about his own struggles in school and how he went through a time of feeling lost and frustrated. We discuss how he landed in a teaching position then eventually came to create the 4 pillars of his coaching approach. We talk about what parents can look out for if they are interested in hiring a coach for their teen. 

We also discuss leveling with kids, listening to their concerns, not comparing them to others or their sibilings, and supporting their interests.  

You can find Jason on Instagram @coachjasonkantor making informative reels about education and living and learning with teens. He's also on Twitter @thecoachjason
