Academic Coaching
Academic coaching is an exploration and discovery process that enables students to see themselves from a fresh perspective. Just like a coach in any sport, the academic coach’s goal is to help students perform to the best of their abilities.
Ms. Elizabeth McWilliams and Ms. Donna McCubbin, the academic coaches, can help you if you are looking for any of the following:
- Regularly scheduled, one-on-one meetings
- Assistance in organizing and planning your semester
- Someone to keep you accountable to your academic plans
- Help with specific academic issues (test-taking, time management, etc…)
- Referral to other appropriate campus resources
Appointments usually last from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your need. You can schedule appointments on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis. The focus and purpose of these one-on-one meetings is to provide:
- Discovery – how you learn
- Structure – organizational skills
- Support – goal setting and encouragement
- Feedback – progress and growth
