What is inlcuded in Academic Coaching through Beyond the Books:
Academic Coaching/Tutoring
Helping students master their coursework—with confidence and clarity
I work with students across a range of subjects, focusing not only on content but also on the skills that make learning more effective and lasting. Whether they’re struggling with math, reading comprehension, or essay writing, we take a step-by-step approach to break down challenges and build understanding. My coaching style is encouraging, patient, and adapted to each student’s unique learning style.
Includes support with:
Core subject instruction (math, language arts, science, etc.)
Homework support and assignment breakdown
Test preparation and study planning
Reading strategies and writing skills
Executive Function & Study Skills
Turning overwhelmed students into organized learners
Many students are bright and capable but struggle with the “how” of school. Executive functioning challenges—like planning, focusing, or remembering assignments—can hold them back. I help students build real-world academic habits that reduce stress and lead to success.
Focus areas include:
Organization and time management
Task initiation and follow-through
Prioritizing and breaking down assignments
Creating sustainable routines and systems
Goal setting and self-monitoring
Social-Emotional Support
Supporting the learner behind the learning
School pressures can take a toll on mental and emotional health. I provide a safe, supportive space where students can express frustrations, learn emotional regulation, and rebuild confidence. While I don’t provide therapy, I coach with a strong awareness of student well-being.
Support may include:
Tools for managing school-related anxiety and stress
Building self-advocacy and self-awareness
Cultivating a growth mindset
Encouraging healthy screen and sleep habits
Empowering students to reflect and self-correct
What additional services and resources can help your student:
Parent Partnership
Because progress works best when we're a team
You know your child better than anyone. That’s why I collaborate with parents to ensure we’re aligned in our goals and strategies. I provide consistent updates, clear communication, and a respectful partnership rooted in trust.
This includes:
Optional monthly or quarterly parent check-ins
Weekly progress summaries and actionable feedback
Guidance for supporting your student at home
Communication with teachers, counselors, therapists, and other caregivers.
Study Hall Membership
Flexibility and Support
Study Hall is a drop-in support space, open Monday through Thursday, 6:30–7:30 pm CST. Students can join whenever they need it; there's no set schedule and no pressure to attend every night. It's simply a reliable, supported hour where they can get homework help, work through tricky material, or just have a quiet, focused space to get things done, with me right there if they need me.
How is Study Hall different than Academic Coaching?
Academic coaching is one-on-one with a student, whereas the Study Hall membership is a small group. The coaching and tutoring support is very similar, but in smaller increments to allow space for all students to ask their questions. Students have the ability to stay in the main classroom and learn from the questions I am answering or jump into a breakout room where they can raise their hand as they need more support. The group is limited to high school students only, and enrollment is capped at 10 students.
