How should I prepare for a coaching appointment?
If you are meeting with a coach virtually:
- Be in a quiet, distraction-free place. We talk about grades and academics often during coaching sessions, and that information is confidential.
- We ask that you meet inside. When students meet virtually with us outside, wind, noise, and other distractors make it difficult to hear.
- Keep your camera on if possible. Both students and coaches get more out of a session when the camera is on.
- If you log-in and you are not in an appropriate place for a coaching session, your coach may ask you to reschedule. For example, we will not meet with you if you are in a loud, nonprivate space like the dining hall or driving in a car.
For both in-person and virtual:
- We are often booked several weeks in advance. If you cancel or no-show, you may not be able to get back in for several weeks, so be on-time and cancel only if absolutely necessary.
Are you a student having trouble making an appointment?
Coaching is a very popular service and appointments typically book at least two weeks in advance.

What do students have to say about coaching?
Meeting with a coach was one of the most helpful things I've done in college.
This meeting was very helpful in motivating me to be a better student and a better version of myself.
Learning how I study best with my coach has given me the confidence I needed.
