THE COLLEGE COACH

Create Your Future!

Parents

Congratulations! One of the proudest moments for a parent is sending your child off to college to begin their next chapter. There is so much riding on these next four years. With the cost of tuition and the competitive job market, it’s important to do this college thing right. Coaching will help students develop positive study habits, set healthy social boundaries, advocate for themselves, clarify their major, build powerful relationships with peers and professors, and more. When done right, your child will graduate doing something they love.
