College Transition Program
College Transition Advantage is a program designed to help students refine or develop the skills necessary to be successful in college. The first year of college may be a daunting transition for many students, and our goal is to help them start college on the right foot.
Students will be matched with one of our coaches, who will work closely with them throughout the semester. Our coach will introduce them to the differences between high school and college academics, identify resources specific to their university, help them understand what is needed to succeed on midterm and final exams, and cover everything from study skills to useful apps to assist with organization. Coaches will then provide updates to the parent after each session.
The program includes 10 sessions, and meetings will be held virtually. Additional sessions, available by request, will be billed at a rate of $175/session.
