What is Academic Coaching?

The best coaches listen actively to a student's concerns and ask powerful questions to help him or her:

• Get ready to learn
• Leverage strengths and learning styles
• Address weaknesses
• Use emotional and social intelligence to excel at school and work
• Think creatively and critically
• Understand the global landscape
• Develop and fulfill goals in learning and life.

How is Coaching Delivered?

We offer one-to-one coaching and affordable training workshops for parents, teachers, and counselors. Both formats offer a complete coaching experience, built on activities, reading and writing assignments.

For Students:

Manage resources, match your abilities and interests to career fields, understand the global landscape, rebound from setbacks and prepare for the real world of work.

For Parents, Teachers and Counselors:

We train professionals who are serious about making major improvements in K-12 education through coaching, district seminars, parent sessions and teacher training to:

• Improve their interpersonal (and managerial) effectiveness using coaching skills as a primary communication and motivational tool.
• Utilize the LifeBound line of books and curricula, giving teacher training sessions and developing your own coaching practice with students, parents and faculty.
