Hello!
Hello, I'm Merinda Di Rita – Founder of MD Consultancy and homeschooling mother of two.
With a 20-year background working for various law firms, being exposed to high net worth cases—including celebrity clients -all while studying law myself via distance learning. This unique combination of professional experience and personal learning journey sparked something unexpected.
During my studies, I started mentoring other law students and paralegals, and my career took a completely different direction. My passion wasn't just for practicing law—it was for the love of learning itself and empowering others to succeed.
From Law to Life-Changing Coaching
What began as helping fellow law students evolved into something much bigger. I developed unique learning methods during my own distance learning journey, methods that have since helped countless students successfully pass their exams with a 100% success rate…but I didn't stop there.
I've invested years studying how our brains process information and how each person learns differently. This deep understanding of human potential led me to expand beyond academic coaching into business coaching and life coaching, helping entrepreneurs and professionals break through barriers, build confidence, and create sustainable success.
The Foundation of everything I do:
I'm a firm believer that learning 'how to learn' is the biggest hurdle we face—and it should be the first thing taught in all schools. No two learners are the same, which is why I take a completely personalised approach to everything I do.
As someone who homeschools my two children, 'learning how to learn' is a regular part of our routine, helping them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that serve them in every area of life.
Today, I help:
- Students master their studies with proven learning methods
- Business owners build clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth
- Individuals navigate life transitions and overcome limiting beliefs
- Parents balance their own goals while supporting their families
Whether you are struggling with exams, building a business, or simply wanting to unlock your potential, I'm here to help you discover what's truly possible when you have the right support and proven methods. I hope you find a support package here that will help you move forward.
Students
I provide a very unique study coaching service that is tailored to each individual student, this consists of a bespoke management plan to get each student to their exam - (every student is different and so the leaning styles I use are different - it has to suit the student), a consistent daily accountability task list with weekly progress calls/ unlimited weekly contact. My students will tell you, I am very persistent in my approach and I have many students who will contact me every day for some sort of support with their studies, work life balance.
The journey I take with every student is an ongoing daily dialogue experiencing their highs and lows of everyday life (not just for a one off exam). I coach each student as a whole and this means being involved with their personal journey, from issues in the workplace, to studying for exams - it is very much a unique service. I am a firm believer that if a student is struggling in one area of their life that they can then become quickly overwhelmed with their studies which is where my coaching comes in. Learning methods can be adapted for each chapter they come
up against in their manuals.
I founded MD Consultancy in 2017 and have loved every minute of it - I am extremely passionate for the success of every student (having studied law via distance learning whilst raising a family, I know first hand how overwhelming studying can be). To date, every single student that I have worked with has excelled and gone onto pass exams and I am so proud of each and everyone one of them!
I also support students with time management in terms of time recording and file management within the workplace. Coaching employees on developing themselves within the company and building their confidence at the same time.
