Who Comes to Coaching Services?
Most of the students who decide to come to Coaching Services have a diagnosis of AD/HD — but that diagnosis isn't required. We work with any student who experiences difficulty with executive functioning and is motivated to achieve academic success.
How Does Coaching Work?
Through regular one-on-one meetings (usually two 30-minute sessions per week), you work with trained faculty coaches to establish academic goals. They help to develop the strategies, utilize the skills, and establish and maintain the systems, structures, and routines that can support you in meeting those goals.
Coaching at Landmark College is student-driven, based on your personal definition of success. Our coaches serve primarily as facilitators — asking questions that allow you to draw upon your own self-understanding and resourcefulness to create systems that will work for you, as individuals. Depending upon your individual needs, our coaches also may provide education about executive function and AD/HD, teach skills, suggest strategies, and hold students accountable for following through on plans.
