If you feel like they need help with things like time management and organization, an academic coach is a good option to consider. Here are a few ways they can help:
1. Provide Mentorship
Coaches in athletics are commonly seen as mentors or guides for students to look to for advice. Academic coaches are there for much the same reason. A coach will walk along the student, providing feedback and encouragement. They will let them know when they need to “step it up” and also teach them to be resilient after a loss. This is a relationship that students find great value in, and they often credit much of their success to their coach.
2. Act as an Ally
Often students who struggle with executive function issues find it embarrassing that they have trouble with things that seem so natural to others. Remembering to turn things in, keeping track of when multiple things are due, or when test are. They can shy away from asking for help because they feel like they should know how to do these things. Sometimes, other adults in their life can make them feel even worse by accusing them of being lazy or apathetic. A coach provides support and motivation. They are there to demonstrate the skills that students long to learn but were never taught. This instills confidence that naturally spills over into other areas and builds a trust between student and coach that is unmatched.
3. Parent Communication
You want to support your son/daughter the best you can. Sometimes it can be challenging to help them when they can’t even express what they need help with in the first place! This can be incredibly frustrating for both your teen and you. Allow us to provide clear and concise communication about what it is they are working on, what their challenges are, and how they are making progress. Each week, our coach will send a snapshot report that includes this information and offers ways you can help support them at home.
