Description
The Academic Coach works with students to build the skills, habits, and strategies needed for long-term academic success — distinct from subject- specific tutoring. Rather than focusing on course content, the Academic Coach helps students with time management, organization, study skills, goal-setting, and navigating academic challenges. This role is especially valuable for students on academic probation, those flagged through the Early Alert process, or students who want to strengthen their overall approach to coursework.
