Our team of Student Success Coaches are students, too. They need time to study for classes and relax in between their tutoring sessions, so we've limited their individual availability to 10 hours a week.
If you believe the Psychology Student Success Center could benefit from additional Student Success Coaches, please provide that feedback! A survey will be emailed out to you after each tutoring session.
