With no controversy,
students want to improve in their academics, parents want to feel proud of their
children graduating with flying colors and schools want high academic
performances to improve their brand as an organization. But how can this be?
The impact of academic coaching!
Coaching has been with
us for a very long time. Professional coaching in other areas of life began
with sports coaching. There’s no great athlete without a great coach behind his
success. In fact when athletes want to improve their performance, they seek
better coaches!
“Every successful athlete
and performer is the product of not just ability, commitment and practice, but of coaching. And
when they want to take their skills to higher level, they seek out better
coaches,” said the Chariot
Learner.
Simply put, academic
coaching involves the application of the principles and models of coaching to
academic life in order to enhance the academic performance of students. Coach’s
help students increase their academic performance and reach their goals.
Academic coaching involves analyzing students
performance, finding barriers to academic success, setting academic goals,
developing plans to reach goals, developing crucial productivity skills and
habits in students, holding students accountable to reach goals and motivating
them to reach their full academic potential.
As one of the ancient
method of increasing productivity and improving performance, academic coaching
has become one of the means by which many schools are adopting to help students
improve. Parents are also hiring academic coaches to help their students
improve in their academics.
So how does academic
coaching improves the academic performance of students?
1. Academic Coaching Helps to Access
the Academic Strengths and Weaknesses of Students and Determine Barriers to
Academic Success.
In the initial coaching session, the academic
coach evaluates the performance of the students and finds out the causes of his
poor academic performance which their tutors and teachers rarely do!
2. Setting Realistic and Inspiring
Academic Goals
“Success is goals, or
else is commentary,” said Brian Tracy, bestselling author of Goals. In order to
achieve academic success, there must be academic goals. Hence coaches’ set
goals in every subject area with the student that they want them to reach. This
serves as the yardstick for the coaching sessions!
3. Developing Strategic Plans to Reach
Academic Goals
Goals backed by
strategic plans and consistent actions are the keys to success. Academic
coaches develop a unique, strategic plan tailored for the student to improve
his or her academic performance and help the student to reach the goals set.

4. Developing Strong Productivity
Skills in Students
“Adults understand how
critical skills like organization, time management, and note-taking are to
professional success. These skills and certain others mean just as much in
school. In fact, the students that master these skills in high school will
carry that edge to college and beyond”, said the Chariot Learner.
In most cases poor academic performance can be
attributed to wrong priorities, gross disorganization, poor time management,
poor study habit and poor note-taking skills of students.
So the academic coaches
evaluate the habit and skills of students and help them to develop the
habit and skills of organization, time management, study skills, note taking,
confidence, teamwork and many others essential for the improvement of their
academic performance.
5. Developing a Study Schedule
Academic success is not
just a thing of working hard, but working smart. Excellent study habits and
diligence are at the root of every academic success! In order to improve
performance, the academic coaches develop tailored study schedule for the
students and ensure it is diligently followed.
6. Motivating and Inspiring Students
to Learn
One of the keys to
success in every field is motivation. Once students lose their interest in
learning and in a subject their performance also decreases. High levels of
motivations generated by the academic coach leads to high levels of academic
performance!
7. Helping Students Become Active
Learners
Success requires
consistency! Through academic coaching, the student is being helped to become
consistent in his or her studies. Thus the student becomes an active learner and develops
the habit of continuous learning crucial for professional success!
8. Helping Students Prepare Adequately
for Exams
Stress, tension and
fear affect the academic performance of students. A dedicated academic coach
working with students helps them to overcome the stress, tension and the fears
revolving around exams, boosts their self-esteem and inspires them to bring out
the best. As a result, the students bring out the best!
9. Enabling Students to Develop
Rapport with Teachers or Professors
Academic coaches also
help students to improve their people and relationship skills, connecting with
key people that can help them improve their academic performance. Key people
like teachers or professors, schools heads, leaders of various fellowships and
unions in schools.
10.Academic Coaches help Students
Develop Positive Daily Routines
Success is a daily
thing! Success comes daily through our routines and the things we do on daily
basis. Through academic coaching, students learn to plan their time well,
effectively use their time, focus on high value tasks and become effective, not
just busy at school.
As a result of the
following impacts, academic performance skyrockets. Student’s grade and
performance goes high. Parents become proud of their children and schools
become proud of their brand as an organization. All this is achieved through
the impact of academic coaching!
Let's help you achieve the academic success you always dream of!
Thanks a million!
