The Academic Coaching and Tutoring Center
Academic coaching is an approach to tutoring which combines
consistency, responsibility, and efficiency. The mission of the Academic
Coaching and Tutoring Center at York Technical College is to help
students become independent, self-confident, and efficient learners.
Our services help foster student success and retention through the
mastery of academic skills and course content.

Academic Coaching and Tutoring Center Goals:
Academic coaching sessions give students experience and exposure to tools and methods
that can help them develop some of the skills of expert learners and can positively impact
their future success. The significance of academic coaching is that students develop
academic strategies and tools that help them achieve academically and progress on
their path from novice learner to expert learner. Academic coaching is designed
to help students evaluate the effectiveness of their study techniques and to help
students to learn how to learn. Because learning is a personal matter, there
is not one strategy that works for every person in every situation.
Therefore, these academic coaching sessions help students develop
the skills to determine the best approach for a given situation.

This service will allow access to tutoring and coaching services to students from other YTC campus locations and will give students with difficult schedules a chance to access tutoring.
