Chat Coaching
Available for quick questions online, no appointment necessary. Go to our Chat page or to Razortrack to see when coaches are online. Sessions are approximately 20 minutes, but can go longer if demand for coaches is low. If you need more time, your coach can also transfer you to a full-fledged Online Coaching session if time allows.
Chat Hours
Monday 5:00pm - 9:00pm
Tuesday 3:30pm - 6:50pm
Wednesday 12:55pm - 3:55pm
Friday 2:00pm - 3:00pm
Chat Tips
Coaches will be online when they don't have students booked for online appointments, so they may be available outside of posted hours.
If the chat button isn't online at a posted time, it could be that the scheduled coach has requested time off. Be sure to check the live schedule on Razortrack if the chat button isn't online at a time listed for coaching.
About Academic Coaching

Things our coaches can help you with:

- evaluate and implement learning styles & strategies
- learn how to master reading college texts
- help in creating outlines, notes, and study materials
- review tips for effective studying & successful learning
