Student Coaching

Student Coaching provides strategies to students that gives them the confidence to persevere through challenging circumstances.

With a variety of reliable and proven strategies available to them, students are  motivated to challenge themselves to achieve and grow into the best version of themselves (socially and academically).

While students are facing adversity due to their diagnosis, life circumstance and/or mental health, when students are successfully equipped with strategies they are more likely to find success.

Student Coaching allows the student to gain self awareness, which gives the students a voice to advocate for their needs. Self Advocacy allows for relationships to be built with themselves (self confidence), family, friends, teachers, etc.

Research is proven that Student Coaching increases graduation rates at the college level.

A phone call to learn about the student’s needs and how Student Coaching will allow them to find success.

A 20-30 minute virtual session to allow the student (and parent) to communicate goals, ask any clarifying questions and determine frequency of sessions prior to the start of Student Coaching. 

Each session is a 45-60 minute virtual or in person (local to St. Louis, MO) appointment (phone appointments may also be deemed appropriate). Sessions will be scheduled based on student needs. 

Packages include follow-up texts/emails between myself and the student to allow for minimal support, such as:

• Encouragement/Celebrations
• Reminders
• Advocacy support (email draft for student to send to teacher/professor, problem solving, etc.)
• Outline for essays and/or research papers
• Test taking tips
• Reading Comprehension support/guidance

Students and parents will receive a note after each session to remind them of the strategies covered to allow the student to solidify an understanding of themselves and to reference along the way.
