Peer coaching

Helping students with study skills and career preparation

Peer coaches are students who are trained to help other students with skills to assist in the classroom and beyond. Our workshops are led by coaches and are designed to help you gain tangible techniques to support your academic and career journey in 45 minutes or less.

Our workshop topics include:

  • Exam preparation
  • Study skills
  • Time management
  • Habit building
  • Resume writing
  • Cover letter writing

Descriptions for each of the academic workshop topics are available here.
