What is Educational Coaching?
Educational coaching is a personalized process that helps you achieve academic goals by providing guidance, support, and practical strategies.
Coaches work with you as a student to enhance your study skills, time management, and decision-making, empowering you to succeed academically and develop your lifelong skills.
Beyond academics, coaches also assist you in navigating your career path, setting professional goals, and developing your skills for success in the professional world.
Who is Educational Coaching for?
-
High School Students
As a high school student, you’ll often feel unsure about your future educational path. During this pivotal time, you’re still exploring your interests and forming your identity. The numerous available programs and options for young adults can be overwhelming, especially when combined with expectations from family, peers, and society.
-
College Students
An educational coach can provide you with guidance while you’re in college. They support you in academic planning, time management, study skills, and goal setting. An educational coach will also assist with exploring majors, internships, and post-graduate opportunities.
-
Students With Learning Differences
Choosing an educational path may cause a unique challenge for you as a student with learning differences. The nature and severity of these differences can vary, giving rise to various obstacles. With an educational coach who specializes with these unique needs, students can receive tailored guidance, personalized strategies, and essential support to navigate these challenges effectively.
What Is the Process Like?
Step One — Initial Assessment 1:1
Schedule your free 30-minute phone consultation. During our phone call, we’ll focus on your current status in terms of your educational plan. This allows me to gain insight into the direction we need to take. We’ll discuss a coaching plan that will best suit your circumstances and schedule a time to meet for your next steps.
Step Two — Goal Setting
We’ll work together to establish a detailed and attainable academic plan, tailored to your aspirations and challenges. These goals may cover academic achievement, study habits, time management, and other relevant areas. I’ll also develop a personalized plan outlining specific strategies and actions for you to achieve your goals.
Step Three — Regular Meetings and Check-Ins
We’ll have one-on-one sessions to discuss your progress, challenges, and adjustments to your plan. We’ll work on developing specific academic skills and implement strategies that align with your learning style.
Step Four — Follow-Up and Long-Term Support
After achieving your goals, we’ll continue to meet periodically to ensure your continued success.
I’m Luke Lorefice
Your Educational and Career Coach
I offer an in-depth understanding of gap year programs, vocational training, and the best college options for you. Whether as a therapist or assisting with educational and career choices, I aim to help my clients live their best lives through clinically driven approaches. I help you determine a suitable college or a career path based on your abilities and interests.
I specialize in working with a variety of groups, including those dealing with:
Anxiety
Depression
Learning Differences
Substance Abuse Issues
Students on the Autistic Spectrum
Considering the increasing cost of college tuition and the uncertainty of job prospects, college may not be the ideal path for everyone. I chose to take a different approach and work with individuals who are uncertain about college, who’ve left college, are seeking a career or job, or students interested in taking a gap year.
I’m here to be your mentor and supporter. I’ll tailor my approach to your unique needs and goals. Whether it’s exploring gap year programs, deciding if college aligns with your goals, or considering non-college paths, I'm here to guide you.
My mission is to empower you to take charge of your academic journey, develop essential skills, and achieve lasting success!
