Academic Success Coaching

Academic Success Coaching is a high-level partnership focused on the "mechanics" of learning. Much like an athletic coach helps an athlete refine their technique, a Success Coach helps you identify your academic blind spots and build a professional toolkit for college-level work. Our coaches focus on the cognitive and behavioral strategies that turn a good student into a great one.

What to expect from your Coach:

Executive Functioning: Advanced systems for time management, task prioritization, and "adulting" responsibilities.

Academic Endurance: Strategies for building grit, maintaining motivation, and overcoming "academic burnout."

Process Improvement: Refining your specific approach to note-taking, test prep, and intensive study habits.

Holistic Problem-Solving: Identifying personal barriers to success and developing actionable plans to overcome them.

Why choose a Coach? Choose a coach if you already know where you need to go, but you want to sharpen the skills and strategies needed to get there more efficiently.

Meet the Academic Success Coaches

Hello, my name is Rachel Elliott, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in School Counseling (K–12 and College track) at the University of Redlands, with the goal of becoming a counselor at the elementary school, high school, or college level. I also hold a Master’s degree in Child Life from the University of La Verne. Currently, I work in the Redlands Unified School District, supporting Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten students with special needs.

Outside of my professional and academic pursuits, I enjoy hiking, spending time at Disneyland, watching Harry Potter marathons, and sharing time with my family and boyfriend.

My passion for counseling stems from my own educational journey and the challenges I encountered along the way. These growing pains have given me a unique perspective, as well as strategies I am eager to share with others. I am committed to empowering students to overcome obstacles, discover their strengths, and navigate their paths with confidence.
