Often, students can become overwhelmed with the many changes and challenges high school or college can throw at them. For them, an academic coach may be the solution.
Academic coaching provides your teen with a mentor who will encourage and motivate them throughout their academic challenges. They meet weekly with students to provide instruction, support and motivation that allows them to improve their study habits, test preparation and assignment completion.
If your son or daughter is having trouble getting things turned in on time, lacks focus, or is a chronic procrastinator, an academic coach could be a good option to try. Here are some more reasons your teen could benefit from a coach:
1. Accountability
The coach is someone other than their parent or teacher working with them to ensure on-time completion of assignments. Often, this is just what is needed to build confidence and to see an increase in independent/proactive work.
2. Time management
Students can begin to visualize time and understand how long it actually takes to complete work. Coaches will help break down large assignments and test preparation into manageable “bites” they can work on incrementally.
3. Goal Setting and Focus
Student and coach will work together to set goals that are measurable and attainable. Being able to clearly define and articulate goals is a skill teens often have trouble with. It is, however, one of the most valuable ways to instill motivation and self-directed learning.
4. New Academic Skills
Academic Coaches work with your student to build new academic skills such as study habits, test taking techniques, reading strategies, and more. These can be game-changers for some students who have struggled with how to do these things in the past.
5. Mentorship
The coach is more than just a tutor. They work to develop trust by proving that the techniques taught have value and merit in the lives of the student. Our coaches value their students and want the best for them in every stage of their growth.
6. Better Grades
Students who work with an academic coach see better grades overall. By integrating all the techniques above, students naturally see more success and improved confidence levels as they move through their school year.

” The program has geared me up for success not only in the classroom but also in life. Having a dedicated plan day in and day out has helped me achieve so much. 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!! “
