What is Academic Coaching?
Just as athletes need a coach or trainer to be their very best, so do students need a coach to help them train from success. Coaches motivate, encourage, train and goal set for success. Academic coaching is for students interested in mastering information-processing skills and higher-level organizational and thinking skills. While tutoring focuses on learning the content, academic coaching focuses on concepts of how to learn. Academic coaching is available for all students and can include basic tutoring in addition to the coaching. Students will begin with a goal setting session and will proceed with their coach to develop a plan for "training". Students will begin developing and processing notes from readings and lectures and in developing effective strategies for self-management, efficient textbook reading, test preparation, and test taking. Our experienced coaches work with each student to develop an individualized program for self-improvement and provide ongoing consultation as needed.
