Academic Strategy Instruction is designed for post-secondary students who experience barriers to learning. Our one-on-one support helps students develop essential academic skills, including time management, executive functioning, organization, study strategies, and self-advocacy, using methods tailored to each studentβs unique learning needs.
By working collaboratively with your coach, you can feel more confident, reduce overwhelm, and create strategies that support success.
Academic Strategy Instruction is often covered by the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Students with Disabilities (CSG-DSE). We collaborate with post-secondary accessibility offices to guide students through the funding process and ensure timely access to the supports they need.
