Academic Coaching is a unique relationship that focuses on helping students achieve success in college. Ms. Shalita and your child examine specific learning styles, habits of studentship, and current barriers to success. Amy aims to heighten awareness to achieve academic success and anchor new strategies. Many young adults have a diagnosis of a learning disability, ADHD, an executive function disorder, anxiety, depression, or other undefined learning obstacles. With Amy’s guidance, your child will discover that academic life coaching is a rewarding experience. Amy encourages her students to self-advocate with professors, assists them in receiving accommodations, and teaches strategies for time management and organization. Most importantly, Ms. Shalita implements individualized techniques for personal reflection to ensure overall success.
Ms. Shalita offers comprehensive support to help college students stay on track. Amy effectively advocates for mental health and learning services at specific colleges and advisors when necessary. Sessions are tailored to meet the needs of each child. Students meet with her on a weekly basis and also communicate via phone, email, or text. Ms. Shalita advises at American University, Bard College, Drexel University, City Tech College, Ithaca College, Lynn University, New York University, Rollins College, Syracuse University, Tulane University, the University of Georgia, the University of Colorado Boulder, the University of Denver, the University of Michigan, and Wellesley College.
Depending on the student’s location, Ms. Shalita meets with students in person or on virtual platforms.
