My name is Karen Evans and I am an Education Coach and Life Coach.

I have been involved in education all my life! After completing my degree and PGCE I taught foreign languages in a secondary school for two years before commissioning as an officer in the British Army. In the Army I joined the Educational and Training Services Branch, where I have taught a variety of subjects to soldiers and officers of all ages, as well as coaching and mentoring peers and subordinates. Now in the Army Reserve, I am still involved in military education with a focus on mental health and well-being.

Where does the name Kestrel come from? Well, my name is Karen Evans and I want to Support young people with Training, Resilience, Education and Life coaching. I have educational experience from a teacher’s, student’s, and parent’s perspective and I combine this knowledge with coaching and life lessons to support the families and young people I work with.

In addition to education, coaching and safeguarding qualifications, I am DBS checked and fully insured.
