Peer coaching

Helping students build academic and career preparation skills

ASAP’s peer coaches are students who are trained to help other students with skills to assist in the classroom and beyond. Our workshops are designed to help you gain tangible techniques to support your academic, career and wellness journey in 45 minutes or less.

We break our workshops into two main categories: Core Academic Skills and Everyday Digital Management

Skill Surge is a 5-week series with our peer coaches who lead you through hands-on exercises to help you master essential techniques. You can join the first few weeks of each semester. Rather than signing up individually, you can sign up for the series and potentially meet others although all workshops are personalized and tailored to meet your needs.

Topics Covered

1) Time Management
2) Learning Styles & Study Skills
3) Critical Reading
4) Exam Preparation
5) Building Habits
