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.

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
