Students and parents asked for it! Over the years, I have met with students and parents who have told me:
“If I knew I had to check in with you, I would have gone to class.”
“Meghan, if she could have called you for help, she would have gotten her assignments in on time.”
“If I had just been able to call you and break the work down into smaller chunks over the semester, I would have done better.”
So…with advances in technology, I developed the Leahy Learning College Coaching Program in the summer of 2010 and it has been a huge success! For many students an hour phone session was too much, but they still needed some support while in college. Other students wanted to use their phone sessions for help with the writing process, but felt they needed additional shorter calls to discuss organization and planning strategies. Some just needed a check in to keep them confident and on track. After much research and discussion with students, parents and other professionals, I developed a workable program that has helped a large number of college students find success.
The deal:
- Two (2) twenty (20) minute sessions per week. These sessions are to be utilized for planning, discussion of study strategies and a general check in regarding progress. They may be either phone or video sessions, per the student’s request.
- Unlimited* access to Meghan via email and text messages.
- Monthly parental updates on progress.
* Within reason, of course. If you text me at 4am about a paper due for your 8.30am class, there is not much I can do, except tell you to say your prayers.
As always, regular phone/video tutoring sessions are still available to students who need additional help with writing, editing, organization or counseling.
Please contact Meghan for more details.
