“It’s stressful to try to balance working full time and two small children and my house. It’s been really helpful having her (coach) to turn to.” Sarah Hobart
Coached students get higher grades and have lower withdrawal rates.
Coaches aren’t teachers or tutors, who remain the subject matter experts. Coaches help you solve the problems that all students may confront, like time management or test anxiety.
