Welcome to Academic Coaching
Elevate Your Learning
Academic Coaching is a free, in-person resource designed to help Lamar University undergraduate students succeed. When you meet with a peer academic coach, you’ll work one-on-one to build skills like time management, organization, studying, and goal-setting. Together, you’ll create a personalized plan that fits your needs and helps you stay on track, build confidence, and reach your academic goals
Ways Academic Coaching Can Help:
Set and Achieve Academic Goals
- Create realistic short and long-term goals and break them into manageable steps.
Develop Effective Study Strategies
- Identify study methods that work best for the student's learning style (note-taking, active reading, test prep, memory techniques).
Strengthen Academic Habits
- Develop routines around attendance, preparation, note review, and assignment completion.
Improve Time Management and Organization
- Learn how to plan ahead, keep track of assignments and balance school, work, and personal responsibilities.
Build Accountability and Consistency
- Regular check-ins help students follow through on goals and stay on track throughout the semester.
Reduce Stress and Overwhelm
- Break down large tasks, prioritize responsibilities, and create manageable action plans.
