Peer Academic Coaches take private appointments with any student interested in guidance on how to plan and study effectively for UT courses. They must respect differences in individual learners and academic backgrounds, plus have effective listening and collaboration skills. Coaching occurs in two formats: a) a long version in which coaches work with the same students weekly for the semester and b) a short version in which coaches post one-hour appointments on single topics to be claimed by interested students. Common appointment topics include preparing for tests, test-taking strategies, planning and time management, improving concentration, adapting to online courses, reading and note-taking efficiency, and motivation/procrastination. Professional learning specialists provide coach training on metacognitive learning techniques.

A Peer Academic Coach virtual information session will be held on Tuesday, March 26, at 7 pm at this link. Interested applicants are welcome to attend to learn more and ask questions.
