Academic cjorge_fondonegrooaching uses empathy, positive feedback and understanding in a one to one process.  The communication flows both ways in a natural, honest and respectful way.  It is a proven approach that increases self-awareness and performance by customizing the needs and styles for each student.  Who then learns to work smarter, not harder. Academic coaching helps students to establish and reach their academic goals

Academic Coaching is a new approach to quickly and safely develop the learning potential of students. It is based on establishing a special relationship between student and coach, who clarifies and strengthens the student objectives and constantly provide positive feedback to engage the student to his own achievements.

Essentially this same proven technique works with remedial and gifted students.   It can be use with all subjects, like Math, Science, Reading, and Writing.   It develops independent learners with strong self esteem and productivity.

We cannot rely only on the current educational system formed by public and private schools who are struggling more and more each day to maintain a basic academic level in our youth.  Our hope as parents and educators is that they will be smart, dedicated, happy and successful in their academical development.  Unfortunately, this seldom happens.  We sadly see with great concern that just a small percentage of the students in our educational system achieve academic success.  This important objective, shared by the whole society requires a strong commitment, persistence and an effective strategy not only by the educational system but by various participants.

 
 

Let’s face it.  Most teachers in public and private schools are unable to help most students beyond the classroom.  Their heavy administrative and academic work load hinder them away from the core development process and groom each child talents.

we live in a world where children already have a overload of information at their fingertips.  Unfortunately, many of these sources like VideoGames, Music, Movies, do not provide any academic development.
With traditional methods, the learning process inevitably becomes boring for the student and ineffective for the teacher.  However with the support of academic coaching the education method can become more exciting and successful.
Academic Coaching also helps to raise the self-esteem of the students and makes the parents proud of their wards.  Some students need special methods to learn the same thing. That is exactly where the power of academic coaching comes in.
Most adults recall that their best memories associated with school came from a particular coach or a special teacher that was able to touch their heart, spirit and mind on a one-on-one contact.  That is the power of Academic Coaching.Encouraging the child to remain positive and be persistent in their own success is one of the prime mantras of academic coaching.
In the practice of academic coaching, every child is serviced with his particular needs and style.  The child is encouraged and trained to think and develop a self-strategy.  Learning becomes exciting and stimulating.  The ability to solve a problem in student life helps them when they become adults. They are able to create a trajectory for their own careers.
All this is possible via the power of academic coaching.  Support your child with their need of an academic Coach.   We are professionals in the field of education and know how to develop talents as we nurture the child’s personality.  The parents are given regular feedback so that they know that the child is on the right track.
In most cases, the academic coach meets with the student at home. This is an important value added that is very appreciated by the parents, and creates a positive learning environment at home.  Each qualified coach works in an area where the student is located.

 

Some teachers spend their lives coaching children so much that it becomes a way of life for them. They are the ideal role models for young children to inculcate good morals, values and self disciple in life.  An active and reliable mentor, is one of the best ways to explain how academic coaching works.  Today’s coach is now equipped with a wealth of information, teaching tools, and experience to help catch ‘em young! A coach’s primary job is to identify the problem areas of the student under his/her tutelage. An epxreinced coach does not take long to know it and will develop a sound work chart which can also be discussed with the parents before the class begins with the child. They are adept at teaching in numbers (groups of kids) or even privately if that is a special requirement of the child. In the beginning of the term they do the following with the child and assistance of the parents:

1.       Identify the week areas where more time is needed for coaching

2.       Improving the student skills once the weakness is found. This means if there is a fear based, it is removed. Confidence is instilled naturally. This develops a trust level between the ward and the pupil.

3.       They help to remove the troublesome habits of the child-i.e distraction, focus on studies, preparing for tests and getting good grades.

4.       Diverting from the usual methods of teaching which produces mental blocks in the child.

5.       Helping the child to overcome the barriers of shyness, fear and low complex.

6.       Once they are able to create the self-awareness, the child shines.

Some academic coaches are highly specialized to focus on children with learning difficulties. With their experience they are able to help the children in private settings too. Depending on the learning disability of the child, the right professional is allowed to teach the child at home. Constant communication with the parents helps to nurture the child in the right manner. Some children require a gentle and patient approach. Slow learners are able to do well with tolerant handling of academic coaches. They help them to be on par with the other students in school and their friend circle.

An academic coach becomes a friend of the child. A school teacher may not be able to do so. The strong relationship helps the child to get good comments from the teacher. Academic coaching can be given to students at any stage. It could be from elementary, middle or high school. If the parents request then teachers are also taken into confidence. This helps them to understand the child and improve grades. And that is not the only concern, the idea is also to make the child independent thinking person. A qualified coach is able to identify even the areas which can make the child stronger through their personalized services. They give regular feedback to the parents, so that they also know the child’s progress during the term.  If requested by the student or the parent, all information regarding the student is kept confidential.
