We think the most important measure of the impact of educational coaching is the feedback we receive from students at UTHSC.  See below for feedback we’ve received on coaching:

I absolutely love my educational specialist. She has been a tremendous help in reducing test anxiety, helping me prepare a study schedule, and stick to it. When we meet, she asks such great questions to get to the heart of what issues I'm facing and helps me problem solve to better prepare for tests. Every minute with her is valuable.

My educational specialist was so friendly and honestly helpful. She gave me at least 3 strategies, specific for me, that I was able to start using. I did see an improvement in my study habits and reduction in stress before my exam. She made me feel more confident in my ability to focus and I will continue to use her advice!

My educational specialist is a wonderful human being who always makes my day so much better and really helps me get to the heart of whatever is going on.  She always takes time to ask about how I am doing outside of school, which is really impactful.  She meets me on my level and carefully evaluates what change is reasonable for me in my study plan. SASSI is great and my educational specialist is amazing.

Students can meet individually or in a group with a SASSI Educational Specialist to develop personalized learning strategies and discern areas of strengths and weaknesses to enhance success. Appointments are available for students to meet in-person, online, or over the phone during the hours of 8am-5pm CST, Monday-Friday. Educational Coaching/Consultation appointments can be scheduled via phone, email, or by using our online scheduling system.
