Success Coaching

Exceed Your Own Expectations.

Victoria College's Total Learning Center offers success coaches to help students navigate the world of college. Success Coaching strives to provide the support, resources, and accountability that students need to be successful.

Working 1-on-1 with a Success Coach helps students develop their strengths, discover new strategies and resources, and come up with a plan to reach their goals.

Success Coaching is available to all Victoria College students by appointment only.

What will I gain with Success Coaching?
In Success Coaching, students and coaches develop working relationships through scheduled meetings. Coaches meet with students to help:
- Facilitate a successful transition to Victoria College
- Establish priorities and set goals
- Demonstrate various study strategies.
- Demonstrate strategies for organizational management
- Encourage use of daily schedules and routines
- Through various decision-making processes
- Increase awareness of procrastination and identify ways to get back on track
- Identify strategies for breaking down projects into manageable and achievable tasks
- With exam preparation and test-taking strategies
- Introduce campus resources
Success Coaching sessions are not:
- Subject tutoring
- Paper-editing workshops
- Individual course tutoring
- Personalized homework assistance
- Quick fixes/instant improvements for academic struggles
To fully benefit from the coaching experience, students must commit to attending appointments on time and consistently. They must also follow through by implementing strategies that have been discussed in the session.
