Academic Coaching
Academic coaching is a type of performance coaching designed to help students of all ages and skill level to meet their scholastic demands. It is not tutoring or homework help. When you work with an academic coach, you are taught strategies that relate to many different areas of your school work.

How does academic coaching work?
At your first coaching session, Dr. Romirowsky will ask you questions about your academic performance and challenges. She will also review transcripts and any school psychology reports you may have. Together you will set goals for yourself and a schedule for your coaching sessions. At each subsequent session, you will focus on a particular skill and review progress achieved thus far. An emphasis will be placed on using strategies that can be applied across different situations and adopting a problem-solving stance that will serve you for years to come.
