Peer Coaching is designed to help with:

• Academic skill development (e.g., test preparation techiniques, goal planning, study strategies)
• Improving performance over time (e.g., helping with motivation, concentration, developing time management, accountability and organizational skills), and
• Encouraging resource utilization (e.g., strategies for reaching out to faculty, using on-campus support services, participating in on-campus activities, and building proficiency with Microsoft Office).

Executive Coaching can help with the same areas that Peer Coaching, with an additional focus on developing skills related to Growth Mindset– or the belief that abilities are developed through practice over time. Executive Coaches offer strategies that build self-esteem, self-confidence, and a sense of personal responsibility for academic success.
