Peer Academic Coaching

• Do you feel overwhelmed by your studies?
• Are you sometimes unprepared for classes and exams?
• Are you struggling to balance your schoolwork with other commitments?

The Learning Studio has Peer Academic Coaches ready to help.  Each Peer Academic Coach (PAC) is a Columbia College student trained and supervised to assist you to be more successful in all of your courses.

What is Peer Academic Coaching?

• The PAC program is an opportunity for you to learn how to be more successful in all of your courses.
• It is NOT tutoring.
• Sessions are voluntary.
• You meet for 30 minute sessions with a PAC.
• Sessions can be one time only or on a weekly basis

What happens in a session?

• You and the PAC get to know each other and discuss concerns about learning.
• You learn to organize assignments and make a plan for success.
• You develop strategies for better managing time, taking notes in class, preparing for tests, and getting the most out of studying.

How do I meet a PAC?

• Call 312.369.8130 or come to the Learning Studio to make an appointment for a PAC session.
• Come by yourself or bring a buddy if you like.
