Thrive College Coaching

College Is Complicated. Colleges and universities are not the same places where your parents studied, lived, worked, and partied. They are complex institutions, full of obstacles, pitfalls, and opportunities to thrive. Although many colleges advertise that they offer advising and other resources, not all advisors are invested in your success. On-campus resources are in short supply and research shows that students often fail to access them. Students who attended high school during the pandemic were less likely to develop essential college skills such as time management, talking to faculty in person, and asking for help. Decisions such as course selection or choosing a student club to join, once straightforward, now provide a dizzying area of options.

Maximize Your Investment. Thrive College Coaching coaches your student to thrive in college – and succeed after graduation. Most students (and their families) have spent tremendous amounts of time, energy, and money to get students admitted to the college of their choice. In many communities, thinking about college begins as early as kindergarten. But then students, who have been coached and counseled and tutored all their lives, head off to college without support. College is one of the biggest investments of time and money that you will make in your life. Why not make the most of your experience?

A Strong Start Is Essential. A strong start – especially in the first semester – puts students on the path to success. Whether it is learning the difference between studying in high school versus studying in college, joining clubs early enough to develop into leadership opportunities, getting to know faculty, or making friends, the first few months of college can make the difference between a student thriving or a student surviving in college.
