Weekly coaching calls (via Zoom) - 36 weeks (school year)
-
Coaching Lesson: Each call starts with a coaching lesson relevant to the group’s needs that week: creating a balanced and organized weekly schedule, evidence-backed study techniques, prioritizing tasks, breaking down large assignments, crafting an outline, effective teacher communication, etc. The coach will determine what guidance to provide based on the group’s feedback & current struggles or questions.
-
Plan The Week: Next, we talk about what’s coming up that week for students: tests, assignments, projects, deadlines. We look at long-term & short-term tasks and talk about what needs to happen that week to get there.
-
Q & A: We talk through challenging concepts or skills together and provide Q&A time.
-
Next Steps: We provide accountability for each other about follow-through.

Weekly follow-up emails

The coach sends a follow-up email to parents and students summarizing the coaching lesson of the session, upcoming assignments, and the steps students are committing to taking that week to meet all of their deadlines

Texting support

Please note that coaching calls only occur on weeks school is in session. We automatically skip spring break, fall break, etc. Months have 3, 4, or 5 school weeks. We do not charge per hour or per coaching call but rather for the overall support provided, so your monthly charge remains the same.

We will offer you the spot for the full academic year, but payment is month-to-month and you may cancel at any time with two weeks’ notice in order to stop your next month's payment.
