As an Academic Coach, I teach skills that students need to be successful in school and in life. Here is a synopsis of the process I use with students from middle school through college. I use research of best practices and over 20 years of experience working with students to help each student work toward optimal success.
- Assess academic skills and habits.
- Provide constructive feedback
- Encourage the student to keep working toward success
- Support student independence
- Help the student develop the skills they need for new challenges
- Stress the importance of understanding principles rather than just memorizing
