Achieve More with an Academic Success Coach
In addition to our Academic Support programs, including peer, writing, and organizational tutoring, students also can work with an academic success coach on a weekly, bi-weekly, or one-off basis. The academic success coaches are professional staff members who mentor students by designing and implementing an individualized plan for academic success.
Learn Valuable and Transformative Skills
Through these coaching sessions, students work with the academic success specialist to improve skills that may not be taught in the classroom:
- Effective Time Management
- Study Skills and Note-taking
- Organization
- Stress Management
- Self-Motivation
- Goal-setting
- Critical Reading
- Test Preparation and Test-taking
- Self-care
Schedule a Meeting
Send an e-mail to findyoursuccess@lvc.edu and simply say that you want to schedule an academic coaching appointment. One of our coaches will reply within 24 hours.
In-Person
The Center for Academic Success & Exploratory Majors is located in Mund College Center, on the lower-level. Between 8am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, one of our staff members or student assistants can help you schedule an academic coaching appointment. On evenings and weekends, sending an e-mail request is best.
I improved as a student immensely knowing I had someone supporting me and rooting for me outside my family and department. These meetings contributed to my academic success because I was able to talk through study strategies with the academic success specialist and learn study issues that I could avoid in the future.
