The Student Center for Academic Achievement (SCAA) is your bridge to academic success.
SCAA Peer Academic Coaches can help you make a smooth transition to CSU East Bay. They work with students one-on-one to help with navigating academics and getting the most out of the college experience. PAC has four pillars of support: Time Management, Planning & Prioritization, Communication with Faculty & Staff, and Effective use of Campus Resources.
Through one-on-one appointments, students and coaches can work in partnership to individualize support and focus on skill development for the future.
Benefits of coaching include:
- Connections with fellow students and campus resources
- Effective goal-setting and action planning
- Improved communication skills
- Increased self-confidence and independence
What is a coaching appointment like?
During your first Peer Academic Coaching session, a coach will meet with you to go over coaching policies and to set goals for the semester. In the following in-depth sessions, the same coach will check in with you about how classes are going and help you stay on track to reaching your goals. Coaches do this by asking reflective questions and helping you create weekly plans for homework assignments and tests.
How is a coach different from a tutor?
Coaches differ from tutors because they do not help students with specific subjects. Instead, coaches work with students to help them gain essential skills for college and beyond. This includes time management, planning and prioritization, communication with faculty, and use of on-campus resources.
