What to Expect from Our Academic Coaching Programs
Each academic success coach is trained to apply the Effective Student™ Method. Our team is made up from a group of successful professionals, educators, counselors, and graduate students who are eager to share their knowledge with the younger generation of students with a focus on building academic success.
Here is what you can expect from our coaches:
- Inquire – We identify each student’s goals, obstacles, and frustrations.
- Clarify – We act as interpreters, clarifying for students what is being asked of them.
- Scaffold – We help develop organizational skills for students, giving them the autonomy to break down big projects into manageable parts so they can successfully complete larger tasks.
- Model – We demonstrate how to create good study habits so students can independently put them into practice.
- Measure & quantify – We gauge what challenges need to be addressed by the student and closely monitor their success.
- Encourage – We give students the motivation they need to try something new, to persevere and to self-advocate.
- Communicate – We help students and parents create shared goals and act as facilitators, joining the positive intent of both sides.
- Celebrate – We take pride in your student’s success and efforts; building grit – the ability to persevere when things get difficult.
