Schedule A Coaching Session:
What is Academic Coaching?
Coaching is an opportunity for you to meet one-on-one with a trained professional to develop essential academic skills. Academic Coaching is the meeting of two experts: you are the expert on your life—what's worked for you, what you're passionate about, what roadblocks stand in your way—and your Academic Coach is an expert on the process of learning, utilizing resources, and helping you identify the next steps as you work toward your goals.
Who is Academic Coaching for?
Coaching is for anyone interested in making major strides forward in their academic journey. We offer tailored support to meet your individual needs, help you navigate your challenges, set realistic goals, and create actionable plans so that you can achieve academic success.
What should I expect in an Academic Coaching session?
Academic Coaches act as sounding boards and facilitate a structured process designed to help you navigate your way to what you define as success. Your coach won’t tell you what to do, but they will ask questions to help you determine what goals and next steps you want to pursue. Additionally, they may connect with with valuable resources to help you along your journey. While coaches are not academic advisors or therapists, they can help you create a plan for academic success tailored to your individual needs and objectives.
When should I meet with an Academic Coach?
Anytime is a great time to start! We recommend that you meet with a coach:
- At the beginning of the semester to set goals and create a success plan
- In the middle of the semester to check in on how you’re doing, troubleshoot issues, and make adjustments to your success plan
- Near the end of the semester to talk about strategies to finish strong
You’re also welcome to meet with a coach anytime you’re feeling lost or stuck.
