1-1 Academic Coaching

Service Description

Are you a student who finds yourself spending hours studying but still not really understanding things? Do you feel overwhelmed by the amount of reading or work you have to do? Do you struggle to complete assignments or projects while your peers seem to knock them out easily? Do you think you could do better—if only you knew how to learn better? It doesn't have to be that way. You can keep up with others, succeed in school, and even enjoy learning—if you know the right strategies and adopt better systems. This is where my coaching comes in. My "Work Smarter, Not Harder" program teaches you the science of how people learn and walks you through applying skills and strategies to learn faster and perform better. We start by determining your goals (in and out of school) and identifying what's preventing you from achieving them. Then, I'll show you how to use tools and techniques from the science of learning to overcome what's blocking you. Next, we'll work together to put in place a system that works for you, one in which you'll be working smarter, not harder. Finally, you and I will work hand in hand to implement the system and move you closer to your goals. My clients often tell me that, after working with me, they have a sense of confidence in their abilities that they never knew they had. They've not only aced that test or passed a class but developed the skills to learn faster and perform better in whatever they do next. With this new toolkit, many even come to love learning. With over a decade of experience at Dartmouth, Harvard, and Indiana University studying the science of learning and applying it in my work, I'm confident I can show you how to work smarter—not harder—and reach your potential.
