Angela Tan
Youth Coach & Parent Guide
Empowering young minds through creative connection
About me
I’m a mother, educator, and coach — walking the same journey many parents are on.
My name is Angela, and I help children and youth with learning difficulties, emotional challenges, and self-esteem issues discover their strengths and thrive — through creativity, connection, and care.
When my son, Jarett, was diagnosed with dyslexia and Irlen syndrome, I experienced firsthand the confusion, frustration, and helplessness parents often feel. Our breakthrough came when we leaned into his love for art. With support and new strategies, he blossomed into a confident learner — and an internationally recognized young artist.
That journey changed my life too. I left a 24-year corporate career to become an educator and youth coach. Today, I work with families and educators to build strong foundations, boost confidence, and help young people feel seen, supported, and inspired.
