Who I Am ?

meet the Teen coach Andrew

Hi, I’m Andrew Petrillo — an ICF Certified Life Coach for Teens and specialist in academic life coaching. I help teenagers build confidence, resilience, and direction during some of the most challenging and transformative years of their lives.

With years of hands-on experience offering teen life coaching, I’ve guided young people through academic stress, self-doubt, low motivation, and social pressure. My coaching packages are designed to empower teens to unlock their full potential—both inside and outside the classroom.

Whether your teen is struggling to stay motivated, feeling anxious about the future, or simply needs a mentor to help set goals and stay accountable, my personalized academic life coaching for teens provides the structure and support they need to thrive.

When I was a teenager, I worked with an academic life coach who changed the trajectory of my life. That experience helped me get accepted into Gonzaga’s Mechanical Engineering program, climb El Capitan three times, and grow into a more confident, focused version of myself.

Today, I’m passionate about giving that same gift back. As a dedicated life coach for teenagers, I specialize in helping teens build strong foundations in academics, emotional intelligence, and personal growth—so they’re ready for whatever comes next.
