What is Coaching?

Coaching is when a student and coach collaboratively work together to help the student manage her or his life as a college student.  This entails students developing short and long-term goals with their coach to enhance their ability to make conscious and informed decisions about their college performance.  Additionally, a coach can help students develop skills, knowledge and systems to complete tasks, assignments, and projects.  Involvement with coaching would include regular one-to-one meetings and intermittent follow-up conversations by phone or email.

The areas that are focused on during coaching sessions are:

• Time Management
• Organization
• Study Strategies
• Test Taking
• Motivation
• Procrastination
• Attention
• Critical Thinking
