Together with the academic coach, the student examines their expectations, attitudes, beliefs, motivations, behaviors and external challenges to identify strengths opportunities for growth. The goal of coaching is to instill new perspectives and strategies that allow students to perform with more insight, efficiency and effectiveness.
