Notes.
Most students take them. Many, many students rely on them as a tool to study. Mostly, to "look over" or "review" before the big test.
However...
Powerful note taking isn't just what you do sitting in class. Let's get into it!
Join me for tips and resources:
Take Notes That Actually Work For You - FREE 30 minute Webinar
Wednesday, November 11th @ 7pm ET
Wednesday, November 11th @ 7pm ET
In this 30-minute webinar, we'll cover:
- A Sprinkle of Brain Science: how our brains learn and retain information most effectively
- Note Taking Strategies: options for every brain, style, and subject
- Why what you do AFTER you take the notes is key: notes you never look at again until preparing for the test are a missed opportunity!
You'll leave with fresh ideas to try, and a handout to reinforce your learning.
Your fearless guide for this free webinar...
I'm Gabrielle Perrin ACC, a certified Academic Coach and Executive Function Strategist. Through 1:1 coaching, I help high school and college students to upgrade their study and organizational skills. Together, we cultivate individualized brain science-based strategies they can use for school, and for their future.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Academic Coaching different than tutoring?
Here's the difference: tutors are content wizards - they know their subject backwards and forwards and help you understand it too.
Academic coaches? We're learning strategists! I help you unlock your best ways to study, organize, and manage stress - methods that actually fit who you are.
We also tackle the bigger stuff: creating balance in your life and developing skills that'll serve you forever, like advocating for yourself, building follow-through, and managing your time. Tutoring gets you through Thursday's test; coaching gives you tools for a lifetime.

You are a "Certified Coach", what does that mean?
What is an "Anti-Boring Certified Coach"?
I received my Academic Coaching certification through the Anti-Boring Learning Lab, so I wield a thorough battery of research-backed tools and strategies designed to help students build positive habits, reflect on their progress, and adapt as needed to reach their goals. This certification means I use practical, individualized approaches to help students expand their study + organization skills, helping them achieve and master rigid school requirements with methods that feel empowering and true to their strengths. It's about helping students not just get by in school, but gain mastery and skills that make it feel manageable (and Anti-Boring!)
What is an "ICF Certified Coach"?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the gold standard for coaching certification worldwide. My ACC (Associate Certified Coach) credential reflects graduate-level work, 100+ hours of coaching, and a rigorous exam. ICF certification demonstrates mastery of professional coaching competencies—asking powerful questions and partnering with clients to find their own solutions.
These certifications work beautifully together—ICF trains in the "how" of coaching, while Anti-Boring Learning Lab provides the "what" for academic success.

A little more about Gabrielle...
I'm Gabrielle Perrin, and I love partnering with students to help them level up their academic and life skills. Through Academic Coaching and Executive Function support, students develop their own solutions, track their progress, and course-correct...learning lessons that will sustain them into adulthood.
After 11+ years working in a high school with dual enrollment students, I went back for some graduate work and certification as an Academic Coach. I am a Certified Anti-Boring Learning Lab Coach, Certified Executive Function Strategist and earned my ACC certification from the International Coaching Federation. In addition to coaching and education, I've held Creative/Strategic/Leadership roles in TV Development and youth theatre.
Oh, and I'm quite proud of my young adult kids as well as my furry children, 2 orange cats who you'll often see on Zoom with me!
