Sometimes students just need that one person who can motivate them and encourage them like no other. Athletic coaches are often helpful in motivating students to put in the effort to see the reward come game time. Academic coaches function in much the same way, only the motivation they provide will help them with things far beyond. Here are 6 signs that your student could benefit from an academic coach:
1. Trouble Completing Assignments on Time
They are frequently unaware of due dates or underestimate the amount of time needed to complete assignments.
2. Lack Motivation or Enthusiasm for School
Student shows little excitement or interest in things happening at school. They may act as if they do not care when asked about school.
3. Get Easily Frustrated or Overwhelmed
Even simple inquiry about how things are going can set them off when asked about schoolwork.
4. Seem Unorganized or Unstructured
They prefer to “go with the flow” and have little interest in planning things out. It’s also possible they will have trouble thinking ahead more than a few steps.
5. Something is Not Clicking or Seems Off
The student feels like things never go right for them. They have trouble understanding material in one or more classes and experience frustration with multiple academic and social situations.
6. Starting High School or College This Year
Transitions can be stressful for some students. The student may have anxiety about what to expect or are feeling overwhelmed.

” 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!! “
