Success Coaching 

Sometimes students need to strengthen their "soft" academic skills.  TASC offers Success Coaching to help with those skills.  Success Coaches work with students to create a personalized plan for both academic and personal outcomes. Assistance offered includes: note-taking, study skills, reading, time management, test anxiety, test taking, organization, stress management, learning style and memory and concentration. Success Coaches do not just focus on academic needs; they also address individual needs experienced as a first year student.
