Academic Coaching provides one-on-one meetings with students seeking help in evaluating and correcting academic challenges. Students at any level are encouraged to seek academic coaching to develop skills that can improve areas of their lives such as time management, note taking, study skills and test taking.
Coaches are trained in teaching effective college success skills and can also assist students with test anxiety or motivational challenges. Academic coaches also work to connect students with available campus resources and promote healthy approaches to balancing the demands of college, work, family, and play.
For example, meet with an academic coach to discuss:
A meeting with an academic coach can be a single event or a periodic check-in. It is recommended that a student schedule at least 2-3 coaching appointments in order to test out new techniques provided by the coach and through a follow-up meeting report back on the success of such techniques. Students will meet with a coach for approximately one hour to discuss academic and related concerns, then work with the coach to create an action plan for the semester. There is NO cost for this service.
