Testimonial
"Coaching raised my awareness and gave me the confidence to ask for help from teachers & classmates. I finally learned how to schedule my time so I didn't overcommit." Jennifer, college sophomore
Get Ready!
How It Works:
The first 2 sessions are 60 minutes when we will "hack the syllabus" and create a weekly structure that will meet all your needs.
Then, we meet once a week for 45 minutes with text check ins or mini calls during the week.
​It's best to start at the beginning of the semester, yet it's never too late to start finding routines and systems to manage the chaos.
It's not the about content, it's about how to manage all the responsibilities of college student life.
I meet my students where they are each week. Sometimes we focus on breaking down a project, sometimes organization help is the focus, sometimes it's study skills, self care or social issues.
When coaching a college student to success, I employ all my coach training:
-
ADHD Coaching from ADD Coach Academy,
-
HS & College Student Coach training from JST Coaching,
-
Anti Boring Approach to Learning from Gretchen Wegner
-
Organizational Tools from NAPO training
Implement Organizational Systems
You can't keep everything in your head. Learn how to create your own calendar system to remember, plan & prioritize everything: homework, tests, projects, social events, sleep, exercise, chill, eat laundry. We will experiment to find a way that best suits your brain.
Develop Strong Study Plans
What worked in HS typically doesn't work in college because there's much more content to manage. Together, we find systems that work for you: taking notes, creating study tools, designing a manageable system to avoid cramming, finding a motivational study space and study partners.
Manage Time & Keep to the Plan
There is so much to do in college! Getting to class, socializing, working, practice, studying, chilling, sleeping. We will figure out how you can plan backwards to avoid being late to class, meeting a friend, overscheduling, forgetting assignments and keeping your room tidy.
​
Campus Supports
Together, we will develop strategies that fit your style.
It's never too late or too early to partner with an ADHD & Executive Function Coach!
Getting help is a sign of maturity, not weakness. Yet, asking isn't always easy. We will work out how to use the tutor & writing center, how to get comfortable meeting with professors, embrace classmates as study partners, register and use available services or accommodations.
Taking Care of You
Self Care will keep you healthy and on top of your game. Let's find ways to: get to sleep, eat well, exercise, recharge yourself, make time for new friends & fun, deal with mental health and roommate issues, recognize & manage triggers.
