Academic Coaching
Our highly effective evidenced-based program has been refined after years of working in schools, understanding the demands of schools and the needs of the students.
-
Goal Setting
We guide your child in setting clear, achievable goals and helping them monitor and follow through with them.

Study Skills Development
We assist your child in honing effective study techniques, note-taking methods, reading strategies, and assessment-taking approaches. These skills are essential for optimizing learning and performance.
-
Time Management
Many students struggle with managing their time effectively. We guide your child by providing strategies for creating schedules, prioritizing tasks, and avoiding procrastination.
-
Learning Strategies
Coaches work with students to identify their preferred learning styles and adapt their study methods accordingly. This might involve using visual aids, interactive exercises, or other techniques that align with the student's learning preferences.
-
Motivation and Confidence
Elevate Academic Coaches help boost the student’s motivation and self-confidence by celebrating their achievements and providing encouragement. This positive reinforcement can lead to improved academic performance.
-
Problem-Solving
If students encounter difficulties or challenges in their studies, our coaches can guide them through problem-solving processes, helping them identify solutions and strategies to overcome obstacles.
-
Accountability
Elevate Academic Coaches help students stay accountable for their academic commitments. Regular check-ins and progress assessments ensure students are on track with their goals.
-
Communication Skills
Academic coaching can extend to improving students' communication skills, both written and verbal, which are essential for effective interaction with teachers, peers, and others in an academic setting.
-
Stress Management
Students often experience stress related to their academic responsibilities. Coaches can provide techniques for managing stress and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
-
Transition Support
Academic coaching can be particularly valuable during transitional periods, such as changing schools, moving to a different location, or going from primary to middle school.
We have a large toolbox of strategies including Executive Functioning Coaching, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Social Thinking Instruction, Social Problem-Solving, Academic Support, Mindfulness, Experiential Learning, Behavior Support, Enrichment, and IB ATL Skills Training.
After doing an individualized assessment and interview, we determine what strategies and interventions we can employ to help develop sustainable academic success and achievement.
Academic coaching is a personalized and collaborative approach to supporting students' educational journey. It involves working with a trained coach who helps students set and achieve their academic goals, develop effective study skills, manage their time, enhance their learning strategies, and overcome any challenges they may be facing in their studies. Elevate Academic Coaching is tailored to the individual needs and strengths of each student.
It's worth noting that academic coaching is distinct from tutoring. While tutoring focuses on providing subject-specific instruction and help with homework, academic coaching takes a holistic approach to support students in various aspects of their educational journey. Coaching sessions are typically customized to meet each student's individual needs and challenges, fostering personal growth and development alongside academic success.
