Meet Principal Coach Prem: A Champion for Development and Inclusion

Coach Prem has built a remarkable career over a decade, dedicated to developmental coaching in sports and academics. With an impressive portfolio, Coach Prem actively supports children and adolescents with diverse learning needs and mental health challenges. 

Key Highlights:

  1. Extensive Experience: With 9+ years of experience, Coach Prem excels in guiding children and adolescents through both sports and academic development, always with a keen awareness of their unique learning and mental health needs.

  2. Special Needs Advocate: Coach Prem’s journey into special needs coaching began serendipitously, driven by the encouragement and requests from parents in his Care2Run programme. He has since become a pivotal figure in this area, offering workshops to educators; both teachers and parents. While he doesn’t hold formal certification in special needs teaching, his practical experience and glowing reviews underscore his effective and compassionate coaching approach.

  3. Academic Credentials: Coach Prem holds a Master’s in Science Degree in Management Psychology from the University of Nottingham (2012). He is also certified by the British Psychological Society (BPS) to conduct Level A & B Psychological Assessments.

XD School Functional Academics always strives to offer you and your child the highest quality of coaching service. While we make every effort to make our coaching experience great, we realise we might not satisfy everyone. For any reason, if you find our FIRST coaching service below your expectations, please let us know within 24 hours after your session and we will give you an unconditional full refund to your bank account within 7 working days of receiving your feedback.

 

As you progress forward and should you find the quality of any one of our sessions below your expectations, we require you to let us know immediately (within 24 hours) after your session, so we fix our shortcomings and process the full refund of the session you were unsatisfied. We hope you will give us a chance to hear you and fix our shortcomings.

 

However, should you decide to cancel all future sessions, we agree to prorate and refund 50% of your balance fees.
