Student Testimonials
“I originally decided to meet with my academic coach to have an outlet of support because I was unsure how the transition to college would be for me. I think meeting with a coach weekly, and then biweekly, is very helpful because it makes you even more accountable for your academics. I felt more motivated by my coach, and she quickly became a mentor that I felt comfortable talking to, which can be hard to find. She and I would discuss my classes and plans to stay on track with homework, tests, and other assignments. When I felt frustrated or stuck, she was there to put things into a new perspective and help me resolve the issues. It’s really nice to have someone to talk with, and I know that if I need help at any instant, she will be there.”

“My academic coach was absolutely awesome. She was very helpful with preparing me for my week ahead concerning my academics. She was very encouraging and kind to me. In addition to checking on my academically she made sure to check on me emotionally and invest in a relationship with me, and I really loved that. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help even just for scheduling out your week.”
