ABOUT OUR FOUNDER

Jonno Wood (MPhys QTS ECUK)

Jonno’s first encounter with teens occurred at the epicentre of the BAFTA award winning show Educating Greater Manchester - Harrop Fold School. The challenges here sometimes lead to frustration and a feeling of failure. Rejecting traditional methods, he started giving lesson time to teaching adult skills instead of physics, his teenage classes began to fly.

Now, Jonno leads an Alternative Learning Hub for teens unsuccessful in conventional education, collaborating with Multi Academy Trusts, Councils, and the Dyson Institute to expand the impact of his work. Recognizing the critical role of parents in teens' success, Jonno founded Same Boat Parents as an emotion and life coach, aiming to empower parents during their children's development.

Our clients' experiences
Our clients' experiences
Jonno gave me ideas for re-opening communication channels with my child and this marked a turning point for us. Things slowly began to fall into place once communication improved.

Amara had 1-2-1 coaching with Same Boat Parents’ coach Jonno. Amara was losing sleep and dreading emails from school. Home felt tense. Amara now feels like an Empowered Parent and her family is in a happy place.
Our clients' experiences
Our daughter’s confidence has increased ten fold through her self defence classes and she’s now also part of a great netball team. Her circle of friends has changed for the better and she’s a much more rounded person. On the whole, she’s much different and the house is much happier.
— Isobel & Richard
They had 1-2-1 coaching with Same Boat Parents’ coach Kate. Richard and his daughter were at logger heads. Isobel was struggling to understand Teen behaviours and how to support them. Home was becoming confrontational. Things are now much better.

I hope everyone on this course gets closer to their goals like I did. I just wanted to say thank you Same Boat Parents for all the advice because it really has helped tremendously. I have learned tools to help me view situations in a different way which is helping me reduce anxiety.
