While tutoring focuses on specific subject matter and academic content, academic life coaching provides students with the skills, guidance, and support necessary for reaching long-term goals and overall achievement. Coaches work individually with students to clarify priorities and set milestones for success.
A typical session:
Although every session is shaped by the unique relationship between the coach and the student, most sessions include:
- Check In - How are you doing (as a person; not just as a student)? I want to hear all about school, family, friends, anything you want to share!
- Data Gathering - How well are you following through on your goals this week? What would you like to accomplish this session? Why?
- Tools - What study, time management, and organizational tools do you need to learn in order to rock school and life? We work together with tools so we can start finding a system that works for you.
- Skill Building - What skills need practice so that you can use the tools you've learned to rock the next week? Let's try these together!
- Action Item - What action items will you commit to during the next week? Let's make a plan for success.
- Celebration - What kind of support and celebration do you need outside of sessions to feel great about school and life? I'm here to support and cheer you on, so let me know the best way to do that.
