Academic Coaching
Unlimited one-on-one coaching sessions are available with a professional staff member throughout the fall and spring semester, as well as during the summer.
During the 2016-17 academic year we had over 1,300 coaching sessions with students from all class years. Whether you’re interested in creating a more valuable scheduling system, a more strategic approach to your heavy reading load, or need accountability on your thesis, we’re here to help you remove the barriers to deep learning so you can experience everything a Haverford education affords.
To serve the needs of as many students as possible, initial meetings are 1-hour and follow-up meetings are typically 30 minutes. However, longer sessions can be accommodated as schedules allow. You are welcome to meet once, periodically or even weekly. We are you here for you.
Walk-Ins: Monday through Friday, 1–2:00 p.m.
