Group Coaching

Academic coaching for students who want support & strategies for digital learning
A group of grade-level peers led by a knowledgeable and caring academic coach

Students who want extra support & guidance from an academic coach
Students do well in school overall, but it never feels peaceful or easy; it feels like an emergency each time they need to study for a test or complete a project
Students who want to learn how to study and organize their time but have never learned how or have never implemented what they’ve learned
Students who want to do well but are struggling to motivate themselves, especially during digital learning
Students who want positive academic interactions with other students during digital or hybrid learning
Students who struggled to juggle their assignments during the spring digital learning and want this year to be different
All students in a coaching group will be the same grade level & have similar courseloads

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
- Students will be able to reach out to their coach via text or app for support and questions between sessions
Bonus calls
- Coach will schedule optional bonus sessions as needed for reviewing before big exams or projects

Safe interaction with grade level peers and a knowledgeable, compassionate coach
Students who set goals within a community are much more likely to succeed with the group’s support rather than trying it on their own
Coaching that does not follow a strict sequence but instead is responsive to the immediate needs of the group
Frequent communication

$0-250/month covers weekly coaching calls, weekly emails, texting support, and any scheduled bonus calls
- 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 provide a range of prices to support all families in accessing academic coaching. You can determine a price that works for your family between $0-250.
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.

Parents:
- 1. Confirm that your child wants to participate. This is key to success in the program.
- 2. Sign up for a call to discuss questions & ensure we’re a good match for each other!
