Who are 学术的教练es?

学术的教练es are generally upperclassman, graduate students or students that have a proven track record for academic success. They have a genuine interest in helping their peers achieve similar success. The 学术的教练es have been provided with resources and support to help them coach their students while continuing to learn about this skill monthly.

他们能帮什么忙??

An 学术的教练 can be a mentor to the student who lacks certain skill sets to be successful at the University of Evansville. They can provide resources in the areas of time management, 提高学习能力, note taking and test preparation. They can specialize in finding school life balance, 压力管理, working with first-generation students and organizational strategies.

学术的教练es are not going to be doing assignments for the mentee, but instead help them learn the best way for them to study. The impact of the relationship between the 学术的教练 and mentee will bring the academic climate to a level that will benefit the entire University 社区.

Who needs an 学术的教练?

The ideal student, mentee, is someone who may or may not struggle academically. 更重要的是, their hindrance in being successful at UE lies in the areas of time management, 压力, 类优先, 考试焦虑, managing student life balance, 动机, 等.

In their initial meeting, each mentee will sit down with their coach and complete a “contract”. The contract would lay out the ground rules to facilitate a mutual respect of time and talent for both parties. The mentee will outline their semester goals for the semester in the contract, as well.

你还能指望什么呢??

The coaching team will meet with you according to your availability. They’ll establish things like communication styles, learning styles, and the mentee’s top priorities.

The mentee should come to their sessions prepared and ready to work. The 学术的教练 will reserve their study room and investigate ways to help the mentee accomplish their goals.

好处是什么??

Although this relationship is peer to peer, the benefits to the University 社区 are vast. The student learns a valuable skill set to improve their odds of being successful at UE, the 学术的教练 develops teaching styles to benefit a variety of students which may be helpful in any future teaching role for that coach, and the University wins with increased retention and higher GPAs.
