Academic Life Coaching
Fostering student success through a highly personalized and relationship-centered approach
Rooted in the principles of positive psychology, academic coaching emphasizes goal attainment, self-reflection, personal development, and performance maximization. Unlike traditional advising, coaching is built on a collaborative partnership where students are guided to clarify their academic, personal, and professional goals through structured reflection, assessment, strategy development, and the co-creation of tangible action plans.
