Academic Coaching

I specialize in supporting neurodiverse students to navigate the challenges of academic life. My approach involves breaking down assignments into manageable steps, walking through tasks to ensure comprehension, and equipping students with strategies to tackle coursework confidently.

The transition to college can be particularly daunting, especially for neurodiverse individuals still grappling with the impacts of COVID-19. Remote learning and disrupted routines have left many students feeling unprepared for the academic and social demands of higher education. My academic coaching focuses on rebuilding foundational skills, fostering self-advocacy, and creating individualized systems that align with each student's unique learning style. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities for growth and success.

Basic

Designed for students needing light academic support, this package includes 2 hours of coaching per week. Sessions focus on clarifying assignments, improving time management, and providing foundational strategies to stay on track with coursework.

  • Academic Coaching sessions can be held in person or virtually to accommodate your preferences. To ensure consistent availability, we encourage scheduling at a regular time each week. This consistency helps maintain progress and guarantees your spot on our calendar. Flexibility is offered for rescheduling, but advanced notice is required to secure alternative times.

  • At Pathway to Independence, we offer both in-person and virtual coaching sessions to ensure flexibility and accessibility. While virtual sessions are always an option, we prefer to meet in person in the client’s environment whenever possible for the most effective and tailored coaching experience.
