Academic Coaching Specialists are ready to help the Flyers this semester! We provide academic coaching and tutoring for University of Dayton students. Our program is designed to help students maximize their educational experience, while inspiring them to reach their academic goals.
Tutoring services can help students with a particular subject or challenging concept. Academic coaching is more comprehensive, and includes things like time management and study strategies. Academic coaching introduces learning tools and approaches that create successful habits, leading to increased efficiency in the classroom and beyond. Tutoring and coaching are not mutually exclusive, and can be used together to create a strong support system.
