Have you been looking for effective academic coaching in San Luis Obispo, CA?
Look no further than Academic Coaching Specialists!
If your student lacks internal motivation or has trouble with executive functions such as time management, organization, planning or follow through, an academic coach could help.
What does effective academic coaching look like?
- It produces results
- It builds confidence
- It reduces stress
- It increases responsibility
An academic coach from ACS will lead your son or daughter through a structured session each week, focusing on challenges that are presented, as well as those anticipated. Together, they problem-solve, think and plan proactively, and determine potential obstacles that could get in the way of progress.
A comprehensive action plan is determined and shared at the end of every week. The coach ensures the student has a clear understanding of what is to be accomplished and that they have the ability and/or resources necessary to do it. Accountability is understood in that the coach will follow up to make sure work was done to the standards that were set or above. Encouragement and motivation are key elements in the coach/student relationship. Just as we understand athletic coaches to provide feedback and encouragement, academic coaches also create an environment where students are inspired to do their very best.

Don’t Wait
We know it can be tempting to let your son or daughter try to prove that they can improve their grades on their own. In our experience, this only puts more pressure on them and usually turns out poorly. Don’t wait to get them the support they need!
If you noticed they were having trouble walking, would you wait to see if it resolved itself on its own? Of course not. Similarly, the academic issues they are experiencing now will not go away unless additional support or correction is provided. Even if they resist, it is imperative they get the intervention to show them that not only do they not have to do it on their own, but they shouldn’t. It could actually cause more harm if they repeat the same patterns or continue to get further overwhelmed. We are ready to step in and help them find success!

With the help and guidance from ACS, I was able to graduate college (which I never thought could happen) and have helped me land my dream job right out of college! Thank you ACS!! “
