Academic coaches work with students to provide regular coaching sessions focusing on helping students develop strategies and skills for academic success. Academic coaches will assist in skill development in the following areas: executive functioning, such as juggling multiple tasks and planning/prioritizing, self-advocacy for navigating their college experience, self-management for academic and career paths, and interpersonal communication skills.
“I loved getting helpful input from my academic coach. From answering any questions I had to giving me helpful tips, she provided exactly what I was looking for and more. Her advice helped me both in my academics and everyday life.”
