How should I prepare for a coaching appointment?
If you are meeting with a coach virtually:
- Be in a quiet, distraction-free place. We talk about grades and academics often during coaching sessions, and that information is confidential.
- We ask that you meet inside. When students meet virtually with us outside, wind, noise, and other distractors make it difficult to hear.
- Keep your camera on if possible. Both students and coaches get more out of a session when the camera is on.
- If you log-in and you are not in an appropriate place for a coaching session, your coach may ask you to reschedule. For example, we will not meet with you if you are in a loud, nonprivate space like the dining hall or driving in a car.
For both in-person and virtual:
- We are often booked several weeks in advance. If you cancel or no-show, you may not be able to get back in for several weeks, so be on-time and cancel only if absolutely necessary.
Are you a student having trouble making an appointment?
Coaching is a very popular service and appointments typically book at least two weeks in advance. If you try to schedule and can't find an opening or are having trouble making an appointment for any reason, please contact us and we will get back to you via email, call, and/or text within 2 business days.

What do students have to say about coaching?
Meeting with a coach was one of the most helpful things I've done in college.
This meeting was very helpful in motivating me to be a better student and a better version of myself.
Learning how I study best with my coach has given me the confidence I needed.
