College Success Coaching

Support for the transition after the acceptance letter

Getting into college is a huge milestone—but it’s just the beginning. College comes with a whole new set of expectations, freedoms, and responsibilities, and most students are expected to “just figure it out.” Our College Success Coaching gives students a thoughtful, ongoing support system so they can not only survive college, but actually enjoy it.

This is not traditional tutoring. It’s one-on-one coaching focused on helping students build the academic, executive functioning, and life skills they need to thrive on campus.

What we help with.

  • We work with students to build schedules that fit them—not some generic idea of the “perfect” college student. That might mean:

    • Avoiding stacked days if long stretches of classes are draining

    • Steering clear of 8 a.m. lectures if mornings are tough

    • Choosing the right combination of major, minor, and elective classes

    • Using professor ratings, course descriptions, and degree requirements to make informed choices

  • College grading often comes down to a few big exams or papers instead of nightly homework. That shift can be brutal. We help students:

    • Break down long-term projects and study plans

    • Use calendars and task systems that actually get used (not abandoned after Week 2)

    • Build weekly routines that balance classes, studying, work, and downtime

    • Learn how to bounce back from procrastination or a rough grade

  • Being in the “right” college doesn’t automatically mean you’ve found your people. We support students as they:

    • Explore clubs, organizations, and communities that match their interests and identity

    • Navigate homesickness, roommate dynamics, and social overwhelm

    • Make sustainable choices about social life, rest, and academics

  • Colleges are full of support systems—students just aren’t always taught how to use them. We coach students to:

    • Access academic accommodations and disability services

    • Take advantage of office hours and build relationships with professors

    • Use the writing center, tutoring centers, and other academic supports

    • Know when and how to reach out for mental health resources

  • We zoom out so students can see how today’s choices shape their future. Together, we work on:

    • Long-term academic planning (majors, minors, study abroad, etc.)

    • Mapping out summers for internships, jobs, research, or meaningful experiences

    • Finding and applying for internships, fellowships, and on-campus roles

    • Building a college résumé that reflects real growth, not just a list of memberships

  • We also help students step confidently into the professional world by:

    • Crafting and refining résumés and LinkedIn profiles

    • Practicing interview skills and networking conversations

    • Learning how to email professors, supervisors, and mentors effectively

  • Students who want a trusted adult in their corner who’s not a parent, professor, or RA

How it works

  • 1:1 virtual coaching sessions (typically weekly or biweekly)

  • Personalized game plan built around the student’s schedule, goals, and challenges

  • Ongoing accountability via check-ins, planning tools, and skill-building over time
