What is an Academic Coach? Our innovative academic coaching program mimics the qualities of an athletic coach. An academic coach provides accountability and encouragement, while monitoring progress and providing constant feedback on the student’s performance.
Many times, students are expected to “just know” how to do things, such as balance multiple subjects, projects and time commitments. Often overwhelmed or frustrated by the assumption that they should be able to instinctively know how to do it all, their confidence can be lowered, and they can start to withdraw or shut down. Our seasoned educators are able to anticipate common “pitfalls” or challenges and respond to issues in a proactive and professional manner. This allows the student to feel supported and lessens the chance that they will stumble when faced with a task they find difficult or confusing.
If they have struggled, or if you have concerns for them, try our academic coaching and tutoring in Macon, GA.
Though tutoring is a commonly known way of intervention for a student struggling in a subject, our approach to it is truly unique.
Backed by years of success in education, our academic tutoring in Macon, GA uses a combination of content support for their focused subject, study skills development, and mentorship. These three things combine to allow your student to really master difficult material for their class, and also learn how to overcome future challenges, work through frustrations, and use proactive strategies to stay ahead. We teach them to see the signs that trouble may be ahead and we provide them with the tools to self-initiate the process of help seeking.
- Understand material
- Learn how and when to ask for help
- Ignite a spark for learning challenging things
When thinking back to the teacher or coach we liked most, it was typically the one who cared for us and showed compassion. Maybe they liked to crack jokes or do things differently in the classroom or on the court. Most of all, they encouraged us and pushed us to be our best.
These are our academic coaches. We utilize only those individuals who have a heart for students. Every single one has an amazing professional background, personality, and story. They want to share their experiences to help students be their best. They provide mentorship and will guide your student through each week with purposeful and timely material that is always relevant to what is happening in their classes.
Using the philosophy of “begin with the end in mind”, we demonstrate how long-term planning and goal setting is an important part of the process for students. By beginning their journey with the end in mind, it clearly determines motivation and naturally defines the “why”. This helps the student articulate and understand their goals, purpose, and path. Our method includes a heavy focus on time management and organization, to maximize their success.
