EQUIPPING COLLEGE STUDEnTS WITH THE EXECUTIVE FUNCTION AND STUDY SKILLS THEY NEED TO THRIVE

Why Academic Coaching?

Academic coaching helps students organize their academic life, improve study skills and manage their time more efficiently. I work with college students to improve executive functioning, enabling them to achieve balance, reduce stress, and gain confidence in their ability to succeed. 

Academic coaching can be tailored to the needs of any student. It can be especially useful for students with ADHD, learning difficulties, anxiety and depression. It can also help motivated students who need extra support with the increased academic and organizational challenges that educational transitions bring.

I often help students with…

  • Managing multiple classes and professors

  • Tracking assignments and due dates from multiple sources

  • Note taking and what to do with notes 

  • Setting up accommodations with the school

  • Setting priorities and managing workload

  • Finding routines that students will stick to

  • Breaking assignments into smaller chunks so that they are easier to start

  • Teaching study skills including when and how to study

  • Working on time management and a work/life balance

  • Uncovering roadblocks that lead to procrastination

about nancy

As a California Credentialed teacher with 20 years experience teaching in Bay Area schools, I realized there is a need to help students beyond the classroom. I became a Certified Anti-Boring Learning Lab Coach so that I could combine my passions for education, organization, and supporting families. When someone is struggling in school, it can be an overwhelming feeling, and I specialize in helping students take charge of their academic progress and achieve the success they want. 

When I’m not coaching, you can find me golfing, hiking with friends or doing Pilates. My husband and I enjoy our electric bikes and riding with friends all over town.  We spend time with our two adult children and travel with them whenever we can.

  • "Nancy was amazing!

    I really do not know what we would have done without her.  She helped my son learn to organize and be a more productive student.  Best of all, she helped him feel more confident and gave him life long skills.”

  • "Nancy taught me how to

    structure my before, during, and after tasks for my classes. I became aware of how to spend my time effectively by utilizing practice questions, and struggling through the material on my own. Thank you Nancy. I am grateful to learn from you.”
