Academic Performance Coaching
Academic performance coaching differs from tutoring in that it is not subject specific, but develops personal strategies to achieve a student’s academic potential. Working with individual students, their strengths and weaknesses are identified, and a personalized plan that addresses short-term and long-term goals is devised.
Typical concerns addressed include:
Organization: organizing notes, assignment and study schedules and a study space in the home.
Effective reading strategies: what, where, when and how to read.
Note taking: learning what to write down, having a system to take notes and a method to utilize the information after class.
Time management, procrastination, confidence and motivation.
Studying: what, when, and how to study.
Strategies for taking tests: managing anxiety and stress.
Writing Effectively: breaking down assignments and learning to research.
