Student Success Coaching

Our Clients & Our Approach 

 

As coaches who are also long-time educators we live for light-bulb moments. You know the “a-has” that spark ideas, new understanding and forward movement. Students become unstuck when they experience these moments, and we work to help students create them.

​

Our coaching clients tend to be senior high school students or undergraduate university students.  Both students and parents reach out to us for support because our approach is direct, but honest and sincere.  We are teachers at heart, and this creates a relational style is a mix of appreciative and strengths-based coaching and targeted skills education through customized, 1-on-1 teaching.  

 

Specifically, we work in the areas of:

• First-year student support

  • ​helping ease the transition from high school to university through a mix of life and academic skills growth.

• Life skills development

  • ​guiding students to problem solve, self-organize, manage communication and self-advocate.

• Academic skills development

  • ​teaching students effective study methods, learning strategies and how to prioritize workload.

• Reducing test and exam anxiety​

  • coaching students to develop study systems, test taking strategies, and calming techniques.​

• Time management and planning skills development​

The result is that students who work with us gain confidence and a sense of capability in managing their own lives.  In turn, confidence and capability strengthen resilience and self-efficacy, providing a stronger foundation for personal and academic success.
