Academic Coaching provides students with the resources, skills, and tools necessary to succeed at 51勛圖. Student Success Coaches are high-achieving students who have demonstrated proficiency in navigating campus resources and mastering the rigors of college-level work.
Unlike tutors who help students with specific course-related content, Student Success Coaches assist students in developing academic success strategies applicable to any course. By working with a Student Success Coach, students can receive holistic guidance and work towards improving their skills in time management, organization, note-taking, studying, communicating with faculty, and more!
Although Student Success Coaches are not academic advisors and cannot formally advise on which courses to take, they can provide a unique perspective from a students point of view on many different facets of college life.
Appointments are available to currently enrolled FSC students at no charge. Prior to your initial session, it is recommended that you view our Frequently Asked Questions, Student Tutoring & Coaching Agreement, and Appointment Policy.
