Academic Coaching is a unique relationship focused on helping students succeed in college. Ms. Shalita and your child examine specific learning styles, habits of studentship, and current barriers to success. Amy aims to increase awareness, support academic success, and help 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 rewarding. Amy encourages her students to self-advocate with professors, helps them secure accommodations, and teaches time-management and organizational strategies. Most importantly, Ms. Shalita uses individualized reflection techniques to support overall success.
Ms. Shalita offers comprehensive support to help college students stay on track. Amy advocates effectively for mental health and learning services at specific colleges and with advisors when necessary. Sessions are tailored to each student’s needs. Students meet with her weekly and also communicate by phone, email, or text. Ms. Shalita advises students who attend American University, Bard College, Boston University, Drexel University, City Tech College, Ithaca College, Lynn University, New York University, Rollins College, Syracuse University, Tulane University, University of Georgia, 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.
