Achievements
-
Every student I've worked with has improved their course grade by at least one letter grade by the time we've finished working together.
-
Students report better study habits after we work together.
-
One student went from nearly failing all classes to receiving As and Bs and one C.
-
I have helped students in as few as one semester and I have continued to work with students for as long as three years.
How I Work
With academic coaching, I teach students how to build habits with tools that help with time management, organization, project planning, and meeting and exceeding assignment expectations.
With writing, I ask (a lot of) questions to help students flesh out their ideas. I use simple heuristics from rhetorical frameworks, like audience, message, context, purpose, style, etc., to help students write more effectively across diverse genres and situations.
