TeenUp

Understand Your Teenager. Strengthen Your Connection.

 

TeenUp helps families uncover how each person is uniquely wired through Brain Profile Assessments –

giving parents practical insight into learning, stress, emotions and everyday life.

heartbeat of teenup 

 

At TeenUp, we believe every person is beautifully designed with unique strengths, challenges, and ways of experiencing the world. No two people are wired exactly the same, and that is not something to fix – it is something to understand. 

We believe that understanding bridges the gap- between parents and teenagers, teachers and learners, confusion and clarity, overwhelm and confidence, and ultimately between who we are today and who we were created to become.

Our journey begins with insight. As insight grows into understanding, understanding becomes connection. Connection allows new ways of living to be integrated into everyday life. And through that integration comes lasting transformation. 

This is the heartbeat of TeenUp.

Helping people bridge the gap between information and lasting transformation.

 

Inwards & Upwards.

Frequently Asked questions

Still have questions? You’re not alone. Here are some of the questions parents ask us most often.

How do I know if my child would benefit from a Brain Profile Assessment?

A Brain Profile Assessment can be valuable if you child is struggling to learn, feel overwhelmed, underperforming despite trying hard, lacking confidence, or if you simply feel you don’t fully understand how they think, learn or respond to stress. The assessment provides insight into their unique wiring, helping you support them with greater understanding and confidence.

What is the Brain Profile Assessment?

The NeuroLink Brain Profile Assessment is a comprehensive scientifically developed online Neuro Agility Assessment that provides insight into how you or your teenager is uniquely wired. It explores how the brain naturally learns, processes information, communicates, responds to stress, solve problems, make decisions and experience the world. It also provides insights into learning preferences, brain dominance, temperament, sensory processing, thinking styles and natural strengths, interests and talents. Bu bringing these different elements together, the Brain Profile Assessment helps you better understand yourself and others, identify practical strategies for growth, and intentionally develop your unique potential.

How does a Brain Profile Assessment work?

Once you’ve booked your assessment, you’ll receive a secure email with a link to complete the NeuroLink Brain Profile Assessment online from the comfort of your home. The assessment is based on your natural preferences, so there is no studying or preparation required. After you submit your assessment, you’ll receive your personalised Brain Profile Report, Action Plan and Video Feedback Resources. If you’d like more personalised guidance, you can also book a one-on-one Feedback & Strategy Session to explore your results in greater depth.

Is a Brain Profile Assessment the same as an IQ or a Personality Test?

No. A Brain Profile Assessment is not an IQ test or a personality test. It is a comprehensive NeuroLink Brain Profile Assessment that provides insight into how your brain is uniquely wired – how you naturally learn, process information, communicate, respond to stress, solve problems, and experience the world. While it includes elements such as brain dominance, temperament, and other well-known frameworks, these are only part of a much broader assessment. It also identifies natural strengths, interests, preferences, and areas of potential, helping to guide the development of individual talents. Rather than measuring intelligence or personality, the Brain Profile Assessment provides practical insight that helps you better understand yourself and make informed decisions for learning, relationships, and everyday life.

What age is the Brain Profile Assessment suitable for?

Our Brain Profile Assessments are suitable for children from the age of 10 through to adulthood. While the Toolkit Assessment is available from age 10, we generaly find that ages 12 and older are the ideal starting point, as children are better able to reflect on their own preferences and behaviours. We offer three assessments: The Toolkit (ages 10 – 16), Student Performer (17 years and older), and Adult Advanced for adults. If you’re unsure which assessment is right for you or you child, we’d be happy to help you choose.

How long does the Assessment take?

Most people complete the Brain Profile Assessent in 40 – 60 minutes. Because it is a preference-based assessment, there are no right or wrong answers.  We encourage you to answer honestly and instinctively, rather than overthinking each question, to ensure the most accurate results.

What do I receive after completing the Brain Profile Assessment?

You’ll receive a personlised 29-page Brain Profile Report, a practical Action Plan, and access to a video feedback session that helps you understand your results. If you choose to book a Personal Feedback Session, you’ll also receive personalised strategies and resources tailored to your unique Brain Profile, helping you apply your insights to everyday life.

Do I have to book the Personal Feedback & Strategy Session?

No. Your Brain Profile Assessment includes your personalised Brain Profile Report, a practical Action Plan, and access to a comprehensive video guide that explains how to understand and work through your report. These resources provide a valuable starting point for many families. However, if you’d like personalised interpretation, practical strategies tailored to your unique Brain Profile, and the opportunity to ask questions specific to your situation, we highly recommend booking a Personal Feedback & Strategy Session.

Will the Brain Profile Assessment help my child with career and subject choices?

Yes – although it is not a career aptitude test. The Brain Profile Assessment provides valuable insight into how your teenager naturally learns, thinks, and processes information. It also highlights areas such as temperament, thinking preferences, and multiple intelligences, which can help identify natural strenghts and interests. These insights often become a helpful starting point for exploring subject choices, future study, and career possibilities.

Can Tutors and Educators use the Brain Profile?

Yes. The Brain Profile Assessment can be a valuable tool for tutors, teachers, and other educational professionals. With a parent’s permission, the insights from the assessment can help educators better understand how a learner naturally thinks, learns, processes information, responds to stress, and engages in the learning environment. This allows them to tailor their teaching approach, strengthen communication, and support each learner in a more personalised and effective way. 

Does Medical Aid cover the Assessment?

No. The Brain Profile Assessment is not currently covered by medical aid. It is a developmental assessment designed to provide insight into learning, thinking, communication, stress responses, and personal development, rather than a diagnostic assessment. Its purpose is to help individuals better understand themselves, develop their strenghts, and apply practical strategies for learning, relationships, and everyday life. 

Meet your coach

Hi, I am Nelia.

I’m passionate about helping people better understand themselves, the people they love, and the unique way they were created. Over the years, I’ve realised that information on its own doesn’t change lives. It’s only when that information becomes understanding that everything starts to shift. 

Whether through Brain Profile Assessments, coaching, educational resources, or future courses and journals, my heart is to help people turn information into understanding, and understanding into practical, everyday habits that lead to lasting transformation. 

I don’t believe people need to be fixed. I believe that they are often misunderstood. And I’ve seen time and time again that when people begin to understand themselves and each other, relationships grow stronger, confidence grows deeper, and connection becomes a way of life. From that place of connection, lasting transformation naturally follows.  

Understanding is the bridge. I’d love to help you build it.

Inwards and Upwards.
