Academic Coaching

Academic coaching focuses on navigating the educational experience, not just a single class. When you sign up for academic coaching, founder James Tierney will meet with you weekly or biweekly and keep you focused on your semester. When you and James meet you will:

  • Get organized by setting up an academic and social online calendar through Google or Microsoft 365.

  • Review your goals and create systems that form long-lasting habits.

  • Set weekly, monthly, and semester-long milestones.

  • Review goals and discuss what is and what is not working.

  • Openly discuss what additional resources may be needed for the upcoming semester.

During the coaching sessions, James will introduce study techniques proven in learning science such as retrieval practice and dual coding. Each student’s experience with coaching will be different, and James will make each session personalized to specific needs.

With academic coaching, there are options to add on career-focused sessions throughout the year. Our team includes experts in resume building, cover letters, interviewing, and LinkedIn.

Coaching is available through semester-long packages and on a case-by-case basis. Learn more below.
