What is Academic Coaching?
Academic coaching is a service for students who want to improve their academic and self-management skills, such as time management, organization, test taking and other study skills. REACH offers this support to help students achieve their academic goals along with self-advocacy and independent, life-long learning. The plan and content of each individual coaching session is determined by the student and the coach to identify the student's unique learning strengths, develop individual plans for academic support, and promote self-confidence and independence. All undergraduate students at the University of Louisville are eligible to participate in Academic Coaching. All sessions are conducted by appointment and are confidential.
