Academic Coaching

What will coaching accomplish?

A strengthened awareness of your mindset and habits as they relate to your academic and personal life. This self-awareness builds confidence, improves self-management, and allows you to realize your goals so you can make the right, personalized plan of action for you to thrive! Coaching offers academic skill-building, tools to manage emotional well-being, and accountability to help you reach your goals.

Who benefits from academic coaching?

A student who wants to:

  • overcome procrastination

  • learn how to manage time

  • feel balanced in their social-emotional and academic lives

  • study effectively and efficiently

  • build academic and personal awareness

  • maximize their college/high school experience

  • challenge limiting beliefs about themselves

  • feel a sense of purpose (i.e. course selection, extracurricular activities, friendships)

  • reduce negative “self-talk”

How is academic coaching different from tutoring?

Coaching is more of a transformational process while tutoring is more transactional and is designed to help a student with subject-specific content. Coaching is more holistic and encompasses all aspects of student life.

What is a typical session like?

The guiding principle of coaching is to meet the student where they are, which means a session is best when organic. That said, here are some things that may be covered in a session:

  • check-in about upcoming exams and/or papers and help break them down into smaller tasks

  • making a plan for time management and study techniques

  • learn learning style + strength-based tools and assessments in order to personalize best ways to overcome challenges

  • coaching on concerns inhibiting academic performance, such as relationships, performance, procrastination, emotional management

  • a meeting is typically 50 minutes

Can coaching be done virtually?

Yes! I use Zoom.
