Our Mission is simple:

Help students become the best they can

academic success coaching is a multi-disciplinary approach designed to support each student through four years of high school and beyond.

 
 
 

Academic Success Coaching

Think back to your favorite teachers in high school. Why were they your favorite? Was it the subject they taught or a research paper they assigned? Probably not. Instead, it was the connection you had. The relationship. This person listened when you needed it most and this person cared. This is the essence of the Academic Success Coaching relationship.

 

What is academic success coaching?

First and foremost, it is a connection and a relationship that your student builds with a trusted mentor.  Within the parameters of that long term 1-on-1 interaction, a variety of skills and demonstrable outcomes accrue including executive functioning, classroom participation, writing skills, subject tutoring, standardized test preparation, and college guidance and application/essay completion.  Weekly in-person sessions coupled with text and email support and both a pre-planned curriculum and an adaptive approach to each student’s needs provide a strong foundation for academic success.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Schedules are busier than ever, and time has become the most precious resource.  What if you didn’t have to spend it searching for various professionals to support your student and then worry about whether they are the right fit? What if a single individual could build an incredibly strong relationship with your student and mentor him or her toward their greatest potential?  What if you had peace of mind that your student had the strongest ally on his or her side?  This program is for any family that sees the benefit of a strong partner who will motivate, inspire, and support their student through the trials and tribulations of high school and beyond.
