Academic Coaching

Have you ever wondered if there’s a better way to support their academic journey beyond traditional tutoring? Academic coaching can greatly benefit students by developing essential life skills such as time management and critical thinking, offering personalized support tailored to individual learning needs, boosting confidence and motivation through goal setting and progress recognition, and enhancing academic performance by helping students better understand and retain course material.

According to this study, academic coaching supports at-risk students in improving their academic performance, focusing on increasing their GPA to an acceptable level. While variables like grit, academic self-efficacy, commitment, and time management didn’t directly impact GPA in a study, the coaching still led to positive outcomes such as higher program GPAs, improved retention rates, and timely graduation. Ultimately, academic coaching can benefit students and institutions by enhancing graduation rates, workforce preparedness, and economic stability.

The Difference Between Academic Tutoring and Academic Coaching

While academic tutoring focuses on helping students improve in specific subject areas, academic coaching goes further by developing key skills that last a lifetime. Unlike tutoring, coaching addresses broader competencies such as the key executive skills emerging at each age, effective study skills, and managing time effectively. Academic coaches work to build foundational habits and behaviors that help students succeed beyond the classroom.

TESTIMONIALS

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Jake. One aspect that stood out to me was that he took the time to understand my learning style and catered our sessions towards ways that would work best for me, which I very much appreciated! Jake was so fantastic and always had a positive attitude. He helped me work on my time management skills, reading skills, and organizational skills. I valued how much he celebrated my good grades and all the little wins along the way! Jake was very flexible in terms of scheduling, which I appreciated during my hectic college life. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with him!!

I really appreciated the summaries of what was happening in tutoring. My son really benefited from the guidance on how to plan his study time before an upcoming exam. He easily built a rapport with David. I also really liked that David had additional materials to help address needs.

 

-Simone A.Β  Β  Β 

Alissa was terrific — really went above and beyond to keep our son on track, address his needs, respond to our concerns, and help him achieve his goal of getting into Brooklyn Tech.

Themba did a good job matching my daughter with the tutor best able to meet her needs.Β  Alissa was very good at reframing our daughter’s assignments so that they felt possible instead of overwhelming. She also helped us change our approach so that we provided useful support instead of unhelpful pressure. Her role as a liaison between the school, the student, and the home was invaluable. In the end, our daughter went from failing several classes to getting mostly A-β€˜s -and most importantly-feeling like she had the self-confidence to carry on independently. We will definitely keep in touch with Alissa. She is fabulous!
