Educational coaching and consultation for students with academic challenges.
Your student is falling further behind in school. But you’re lost when it comes to teaching your student essential learning skills and getting them the help they need to succeed.
When your student is encouraged to see their learning strengths, set academic goals, and solve problems using effective strategies, self-confidence and school enjoyment increases. When you have support from an educational consultant, school planning and problem solving becomes easier.
Student Success Psychological Services offers educational coaching to help your student learn self-motivation, self-advocacy, and study skills. We also offer educational consultation to help you navigate the school system and advocate for your student.
