Academic Coaching

Academic Coaches are fellow students who have successfully completed introductory and advanced coursework and are recommended by faculty in various subjects and classes. Our Academic Coaches are SFCC students or area university students.

Whether you are looking for help solving math problems or needing tips to organize an essay, Academic Coaches can help you. Some of the topics Academic Coaches can help with are:

• Homework questions
• Scheduling your study time
• Science labs
• Understanding vocabulary and ideas
• Ways to be successful in college Writing papers
