Tutoring and Academic Support

Academic Skills Coaching

What is Academic Coaching?

“I feel like I never have enough time.”
“I study and study, but it doesn’t show on my exams.”
“I’m just not feeling motivated to do my work.”

Does this sound familiar? You're not alone. Academic life at Stanford can be challenging.

Explore Academic Coaching resources to address time management, procrastination, reading comprehension and retention, and other skill sets to help you become a more sophisticated and effective learner. If you have any questions, please write to CTLtutoring@stanford.edu.
