WHAT IS ACADEMIC COACHING?

PUT SIMPLY, IT’S A COMBINATION OF BESPOKE ACADEMIC MENTORING AND PERSONAL
SUPPORT DESIGNED FOR THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT. IT GIVES THEM THE SKILLS AND
CONFIDENCE THEY NEED TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY - AND FLOURISH WHILE DOING SO.

THINK OF IT AS HAVING A CONSTANT GUIDE BY YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER’S SIDE THROUGHOUT
THEIR UNIVERSITY JOURNEY – A TRUSTED FRIEND TO CLARIFY, EXPLAIN, MOTIVATE, CARE
AND STEER THEM TOWARDS FULFILLING THEIR ACADEMIC POTENTIAL.

WHY USE AN ACADEMIC COACH?

 * Because a rushed tutorial with an exhausted lecturer is a common part of
   university life - and possibly the worst way to learn.



 * Because students with huge potential often struggle to stay motivated and
   focussed.



 * Because students with a learning difference cannot get enough of the help
   they need, when they need it.



 * Because international students at English-speaking universities struggle to
   understand lectures, feel homesick and isolated.



These students then underperform academically, switch off from study and become
desperate for help. With nowhere to turn, the university experience becomes a
nightmare and failure becomes inevitable...



An Academic Coach can provide everything the student needs to overcome these
hurdles, making the opportunity to excel completely attainable – however
challenging the circumstances.

MY ETHOS

University should be more than just academic achievement. It should be a
positive and life-enhancing experience – an opportunity to excel, build lifelong
skills, confidence and resilience. Culture, language and learning difference
should never be an obstacle to learning – in fact, they can be an advantage.



I believe that spending consistent, quality time with each student is essential
for academic achievement. I treat each of my students as an individual on a
journey of intellectual and personal growth, providing them with the tailored
skills and support they need to excel beyond expectation.

HOW ACADEMIC COACHING WORKS

By identifying how a student learns, their individual challenges and
preferences, I provide bespoke, comprehensive and regular coaching to support
their university study. This is provided as frequently as required, dependent on
need, and is tailored on an individual basis.

 

 * I offer pastoral and wellbeing support - especially important where a student
   is studying overseas, away from family, or if English is not their first
   language.



 * If your adult child has a learning difference or preference that makes study
   more difficult, especially within mainstream University education, this is
   also no problem.
