Academic Success Coaches

What We Do

Academic Success Coaches support students individually and in small groups to develop strategies to become strong, independent, resource-aware learners who are well-prepared for the rigors of college. Using a strengths-based approach, coaches address challenges as they arise for students and model critical thinking and proactive problem solving to foster a growth mindset necessary for effective learning and life success. 

Coaches work with students to address topics including:

• Time Management and Procrastination
• Planning and Organization
• Study Techniques for Memory
• Focus and Concentration
• Reading Comprehension
• Use of Textbook Resources
• Test-Taking Strategies
• Research and Essays
• Communicating with Faculty
• Adopting Healthy Coping Strategies
