What You'll Work On

Anyone can benefit from Academic Coaching, no matter your year in school, your major, or your past school experience. At your first meeting, your coach will check in on your academic skills, challenges, and goals. After that, students meet with their coach three to five times each semester. You can come back anytime, and we encourage you to keep working with the same coach.

Here are some things your coach can help with:

  • Managing your workload and setting goals

  • Improving focus and memory

  • Note-taking and reading textbooks

  • Online learning

  • Test prep and test-taking skills

  • Adjusting to college life

Whats Students Say About Academic Coaching

I learned how often I should be studying, and I learned that writing study time in to my schedule is a good way to hold myself accountable.

I learned how to maintain motivation through the whole semester.

I learned that reviewing my notes often will keep me from cramming. I also learned different ways to focus while studying and the best times of the day to study.
