What is academic coaching?

Gillis Education’s academic coaches assist students in setting academic goals, and creating and implementing strategies for academic success, inside and outside of the classroom. Our coaches set high expectations and provide students with tools and pathways to post-secondary success.

Our program has a formal set of college readiness standards. Our coaches engage in:

  • Learning style assessments;

  • Planning sessions geared towards tackling the weeks and months ahead;

  • Weekly check-ins to stay on top of assignments;

  • Routine one-on-one workshops that teach self-management skills such as personal organization, time management, study skills, note-taking techniques, project management, and goal setting;

  • Preparing students to apply for and succeed in college or vocational school;

  • Providing access to Gillis Education’s curated lists of educational resources and enrichment activities;

  • Career planning, including resume development and maintenance, and mock interviews; and

  • Much more!
