Senior Academic Success Coach
Many students have never been taught how to create a study routine or make the most of such a session. Meet with our Senior Academic Success Coach to have a learning skills appointment. Students will be coached on time management, general study techniques, test-taking strategies, and managing test anxiety.
Common challenges to work on with an academic coach include:
-
Feeling overwhelmed with managing a balance between school, work, and family obligations
-
Struggling to learn and retain complex material
-
Misidentifying one's problem areas, leading to missing more helpful approaches
Support is available for students at all levels, whether their goal is improving from a B to an A or simply passing a challenging course. Schedule an appointment using the Starfish app to get started.
Please use the link below to schedule your appointment during fall and spring semesters. Outside of these semesters, schedule appointments via email to brianpilcher@weber.edu rather than scheduling an appointment through Starfish. Don't put it off—make an appointment ASAP for the best experience.
Scheduling through Starfish only works for Weber State students, not staff or faculty.
