How we help

Feeling overwhelmed by scheduling, assignments, and exams? We’ve got your back! Our Academic Success Coaches are here to support you every step of the way in your academic journey.

Here are just a few areas coaches can help you improve:

Motivation and goal setting
Study skills
Effective notetaking
Reading college texts
Manage time and calendars effectively
Advocate for your needs confidently
Balance school, self-care, community care
Learn how to become strategic learners
And much more!

Unlike our tutoring services, which focus on specific course content, and Academic Advising, which helps students navigate academic requirements and degree planning, Academic Success Coaching is a collaborative, holistic process that supports students in skill-building. Coaches work with students to create personalized plans for achieving both short-term and long-term goals, empowering them to take ownership of their learning, growth, and overall well-being.

We also offer dynamic, interactive workshops—online or customized—for student clubs, staff, and faculty that are designed to help you achieve your academic and personal goals. Attend an Academic Success workshop!
