During a one-on-one session you can expect to be engaged in a conversation regarding your strengths, weaknesses, and session goals. We will look for characteristic indicators to help identify your academic skill deficits and needs. We aim to transfer new skills to students through modeling, demonstrating, and providing an opportunity for students to try new skills using relevant material within the session. You can expect to explore practical strategies and techniques that you can immediately use to boost your learning, enhance your understanding of course material, and improve your grades.
The Academic Specialist aims to provide you with academic support so you may identify appropriate tools for success, while also transferring skills to ensure that you are becoming independent toward your personal academic coursework.
While you might find your needs have been met within one session, it is more likely that you will need to meet with the academic specialist several times to master effective strategies. The academic specialist will often encourage you to make a follow-up appointment to discuss the change or effectiveness of the strategies you’ve applied since the prior meeting.
