Can personalized coaching combat academic difficulties?

Academic difficulties can affect any student regardless of grade level, class or age.

This state of affairs is not solely due to educational inequalities. Today, we can no longer analyze school failure without taking into account the strategies that claim to combat it, including supportive pedagogies.

Schools often set up systems that offer a lot of support to students. These systems may work for some students but, unfortunately, not all. Indeed, as we know, everyone learns and understands in their own way. There is no single pedagogy or learning technique, nor is there a single method of teaching.

It is therefore not possible for schools to adapt to each student individually, it is up to the student to adapt to the school’s program and its requirements.

However, this personal adaptation, which requires great flexibility, is not given to everyone. It is not easy for an individual, whatever his age, to analyze himself in order to think about the best methods to succeed by himself and to modify his learning habits, in a system already predefined.

The level of requirement and the notion of mastery of the subjects often depend on the schools, the teachers, the topics and the evaluation scales.

How do we find our way around as parents or students?

It is not always easy if the student, despite his or her best efforts, is not able to enter the system and reach the required level. And the school cannot always cope with all these pedagogical, cultural and social differences.

However, school failure is not inevitable, there are ways that can work for each student depending on their needs and motivation.

School coaches nowadays embody the reality of the problem and propose solutions. If something can be done for a student, it must be done, and done quickly, to give that student every opportunity to succeed.

Academic coaching treats symptoms such as lack of self-confidence, difficulty concentrating in class or on homework, or the use of ineffective learning techniques or inadequate test preparation methods.

To each his own! The only thing you need to know is that if you are dealing with a good academic coach, they will find effective solutions and if the student is not ready to move on, then they will be honest enough to tell you so and stop the coaching quickly.

Coaching can only work if the student is motivated and follows the valuable advice of the coach.

However, a coach’s job is also to find the keys that will develop the student’s self-confidence, motivation, thirst for learning and desire to succeed .

Therefore, when a good synergy is created between the coachee and the coach, it can produce amazing results.

This positive relationship can become a catalyst in the student’s life both academically and personally.

In conclusion, a qualified and competent coach will be able to propose effective strategies to overcome the student’s difficulties and help him find concrete solutions quickly.
