Academic Coaching

Success as a college freshman, and academic excellence generally, tend to pay off in various ways that we deem important. Quality performance in the classroom can mean scholarships, job offers, introductions and all of the benefits that exist downstream of educational achievement such as where you live, what kind of car you drive, who returns your calls, and how generous you can be with the charities you support.

Some irrational beliefs that are planted and produce fruit during high school are not so problematic when standards were lower, and it might be possible to coast somewhat on your high school grade point average and class rank. At the risk of slight exaggeration, everyone of your freshman classmates might have been valedictorian back home, and, as a freshman, doing quality work in a more competitive environment is far more difficult to achieve.

Academic coaching provides a way to uproot the weeds of irrational belief regarding one’s academic excellence so that a more realistic way of being in the world might prosper. Over time, these more adaptive beliefs can become second nature.
As a struggling freshman, if you have a mindset to “nip it in the bud” before you get behind and recovery is difficult to achieve, or if you have been negligent and need some help with getting back on track, give us a call to discuss the possibility of our working together.

In any event, we give you our hopes for every happiness and satisfaction in your college endeavors.
