ACS is ready to fly with the Cardinals this semester! The top tutors and academic coaches for Stanford University Students is available through Academic Coaching Specialists.
Academic coaching introduces learning tools and strategies that create effective habits, leading to increased success in the classroom and beyond. These techniques can be used together with tutoring to create a strong support system for your student.
Stanford Students Can Have a “Personal Trainer” for their Academic Experience!
Top athletes have trainers and coaches to help them reach their potential. Students attending Stanford are top academics, who can also benefit from this style of personal coaching and added support. Putting an academic coach in place today can ensure your student will have the support needed to get through even the toughest semester. They already know how to be a good student. Let us help them be an even better one, all while maintaining a healthy work/life balance and stress level.
- Our coaches are experienced educators, not peers
- We earn trust by demonstrating our methods work in and out of the classroom
- We don’t just respond to a student’s needs, we anticipate them
How Academic Coaching Works
Our coach will work with the student on a weekly basis. The student and coach will meet at a mutually agreed upon time/place (remote options available) to review each week’s materials. The student will be required to do some outside reading or assignment between each session as assigned by the coach. The two then work together on building a relationship that provides mentorship and guidance for the student as they work toward becoming more independent in their learning decisions.
How Academic Coaching Helps Students at Stanford University
Working one-on-one with a coach will provide the necessary support for students to:
- Understand balance and time management in college
- Improve focus and increase efficiency
- Learn different study and note taking methods to get the most benefit for each class
- Identify the steps and strategies to effectively prepare for college exams
- Root out any habits that lead to procrastination
- Provide encouragement and inspiration
NEARLY 1/3 OF COLLEGE FRESHMEN DROP OUT BEFORE THEIR SOPHOMORE YEAR
At Stanford, it goes without saying that we work with high-achieving students. We are pleased to help the brightest students shine even brighter! At times, even these top performers need some support. Working with an academic coach can address and strengthen areas of concern, while also honing their already successful skills.
College Freshmen
Freshmen starting or continuing their first year are our most common clients. We find that the best approach to academic coaching is a proactive one. Starting from the top, we work with students on what they already know and build on those skills to create an even better college champion. Stanford students who start their freshman year with academic coaching find they are less stressed and have more free time to enjoy non-academic activities.
Students Enrolled in Online Learning
Online courses can be a challenge to some students. Academic Coaching Specialists can help Stanford students remain focused and engaged in these types of courses. Sometimes, tutoring is not always the best answer for these types of courses, as the material is not typically the problem. Rather, the ability to see things laid out and in order, along with some incremental goals and motivation are usually all that is required to see vast improvements. Providing accountability and a step-by-step plan, Academic Coaches are there each week to assist students taking any online course.
Top athletes have trainers and coaches to help them reach their potential. Putting an academic coach in your corner today can ensure you will have the support needed to get through even the toughest semester.
