Success Coaching
While tutoring focuses on support in a specific subject, Academic Coaching is a skill-based approach focused on growth and accountability. Students meet with the Student Success Coordinator on a one-on-one basis throughout the semester to discuss goals, obstacles, successes, academic planning, etc. and talk about important success tips.
Topics that may be covered in Success Coaching include:
- Goal setting
- Time management
- Study skills
- Test taking skills
- Academic planning
- Classroom skills (note-taking, reading comprehension, learning styles)
- Appropriate campus involvement
- Personal motivation
- Personal support & accountability
Success Coaching allows students to learn important academic and life skills and set their own pace regarding accountability needs. Students meet one-on-one with a Success Coach to discuss their personal obstacles, opportunities, and goals. If acted upon, the tips discussed in Coaching can help students in all of their classes and beyond.
For more information contact, contact Renee Green, Student Success Coordinator, at greenr@campbell.edu.
