College prep and support

I have enjoyed supporting students as they navigate their independence and balance essential

life components. Following an intake preview of learning style and preferences, the student

lets me know their specific goals and challenges:

• Advocacy: How to talk to your professors and what you want them to know about you

• Creating balance: What are the individual needs for down time, social time, sleep,

school work, jobs, food, exercise, etc.

• Creating flexible calendars

• Reflective time: Checking in with yourself-How are you doing physically, emotionally and

mentally?

• Academic check in: At least a weekly check in with assignments and grades, teacher

check-ins

• What’s ahead? What does the week ahead look like? What is due? Important Project

dates

• Diagramming assignments: Get the big picture and the smaller details

• Successful student tips

• Preview classroom presentations

• Process information soon after class

We typically start with an initial information gathering session and then determine if we are

going to meet weekly, twice monthly or monthly to support and monitor progress for the

semester on an as needed basis. These check-ins are done online
