HOW DOES ACADEMIC COACHING WORK?

Academic Coaching offers a comprehensive support solution for high school and college students, to help keep them on track, in school and pave a path to graduation. Coaching is available for students of all academic abilities, but can be especially helpful if your son or daughter has a history of ADHD, ADD, executive functioning disorder, anxiety, or other learning differences.

At Academic Coaching Specialists every student enrolled in our program begins with a “coachability assessment”, which includes a series of personality and learning style testing. This allows us to strategically match your student with a  coach who’s background and coaching style are best aligned with your student’s needs, creating a truly optimized experience for both. Each student is assessed for their strengths and opportunities for growth, and an individualized coaching plan is devised to maximize their academic, professional and personal success and development.

GOOD. FIT. GUARANTEED.

Our coaches are dedicated to providing an exceptional experience that is custom-tailored to the individual needs of your student.

1-ON-1 COACHING SESSIONS

Our coaches meet one-on-one with your student on a weekly basis throughout the school year. Depending on the student’s location and meeting preference, sessions can take place in-person or online.  While many students are able to graduate from our program in a year or less, longer-term one-on-on coaching opportunities are available as necessary.

What You Can Expect From Your Student’s Academic Coach:

  • Provide 1-on-1 interaction
  • Serve as a resource to your student throughout the year
  • Help with a successful transition to high school or college
  • Encourage engagement in school events and group participation
  • Help your student develop a plan and a pathway to graduation
  • Help your student develop necessary skills for academic and personal development
  • Connect your student to educational resources
  • Assist your student with creating clear academic, personal, and professional goals

Coach & Student Expectations

GOOD. FIT. GUARANTEED.

We match the student to the best coach, based on their common interests and natural learning/teaching styles.

Carefully matching the education, expertise and personalities of our coaches to your student’s needs is one reason we are so successful. We want to build a relationship that provides your student and family with the most benefit. Upon favorable coachability assessment completion, if after 2 sessions for any reason you decide it is not a good fit for your student or family, we will provide you with a complete refund.
