Educational Coaching

Educational Coaching is a unique type of tutorial intervention designed to assist individuals in better understanding themselves as learners. Each student’s curriculum is customized in order to effectively meet the needs of the whole individual, based on the student’s unique neuro-psychological make-up, emotional needs, and educational needs. All programs are customized for each student and incorporate the skills of the Educational Coach and expertise of the Educational Therapist; uniquely blending educational practices with neuro-psychological theory. Sessions are always conducted in a one-on-one setting to meet the specific needs of the student. In addition to coaching sessions, we regularly review progress with the student and his/her parents in order to assist the student and the family in better understanding the student’s learning processes. Every effort is made to work not only with the student, but to involve the parents and teachers as well.

The Goals of Educational Coaching are for the student to:

• Understand his/her unique capabilities, as well as his/her learning challenges
• Rely on his/her strengths and bypass areas of weakness
• Learn how he/she learns best
• Focus on the process, not only the outcome, of learning
• View him/herself as a capable and competent learner
• Become independent and take responsibility for his/her own learning
• Strengthen areas of weak cognitive processing 

Through the Educational Coaching process, the student will learn to:

• Develop strategies, tools, and techniques to match his/her learning style
• Think critically and flexibly
• Conceptualize new material
• Memorize, store, and retrieve information
• Manage time efficiently
• Use organizational and learning strategies effectively
