Academic Coaching
Academic coaches work with students one-on-one to help them identify their strengths, challenges, and goals, and to construct a personalized plan for success. While each academic coaching session is driven by the student’s particular goals and situation, topics discussed may include time management, organization, motivation, prioritization, test taking skills, study skills, and learning & memorization strategies.
