Who is this for?
Our College Student Support Services support students during some of their most challenging moments, whether they are struggling academically, emotionally, or with the college transition. For students who find college life overwhelming and struggle academically, we offer Academic Coaching and Tutoring to provide the organizational support they need to regain control and succeed. Some students may be questioning if they’ve chosen the right college or university and are considering transferring, while others are navigating the move from community college to a four-year institution—our Transfer Coaching is here to help. For those who have reached a breaking point—whether they’ve stopped attending classes, are facing disciplinary charges, or have been suspended or expelled—our Crisis Coaching offers personalized guidance and support. We walk with students through these difficult times, leveraging our expertise and connections in higher education to help them succeed in the challenges ahead.

Academic Coaching (Time Management and Organization)

Who is this for? Many, many students sail out of high school and their parents’ structure and find college a HUGE SHOCK. It is such a hard transition: freedom, choices, unscheduled time, loneliness. Students come to us with low grades, academic probation, budgeting disasters, low confidence and even disciplinary actions. We support students through goal setting, structure, frequent contact, and accountability. Deliverables include:

Transfer Coaching

Who is this for? Transfer students come in all shapes and sizes, each with unique challenges and goals. Some may feel unhappy at their current institution and want to explore both transfer options and the possibility of thriving at their current school. These students engage in a collaborative discussion to better understand their situation and explore various alternatives. Others may be returning to college after a break, while some are looking to transition from community college to a four-year institution. Professional Tutoring offers our proprietary matching and counseling services to help you determine your next step—whether that’s transferring to a new school or adopting a fresh perspective on your current one. Students can choose to work with us on an a la carte basis at our hourly rate or take advantage of our discounted program rate for up to 20 hours of personalized support. Deliverables include:
