Academic Skills Peer Coaching

Academic Skills Peer Coaching

Peer coaches are here to help undergraduate and University College students stay organized in online classes, find a study routine, learn about evidence-based study strategies, communicate with instructors, manage test anxiety, and more!

Peer Coaching will resume in Fall 2023!

You will be prompted to log in with your WUSTL credentials to access the scheduler. All Coaches are available for video appointments; in person appointments, if available, will take place in one of the small conference rooms outside the Learning Center’s office on the lower level of the Mallinckrodt Center. Peer Coaching appointments must be scheduled in advance; there are no drop-in hours at this time.

Please note that the scheduler displays all times in your local time zone.

Other Academic Skills Resources

In addition to Academic Skills Peer Coaching, the Learning Center offers robust services to help undergraduate students achieve their academic goals.

We provide support for a variety of academic skills, including:

• Note-taking
• Avoiding procrastination and increasing persistence
• Collaboration
• Managing test anxiety
• Approaching instructors (and other course-related resources) and utilizing office hours effectively

Academic Skills Self-Assessment

The Academic Skills Assessment can help you identify your strengths and opportunities for growth. This survey should take you less than 10 minutes to complete, and you can take it as many times as you’d like in order to track your progress throughout your college career.

Your results, which you will receive via email after completing the survey, are confidential and are intended for your own personal reference, though you can also choose to forward them to an Academic Skills Peer Coach or Learning Center staff member prior to meeting with them.

Academic Skills Workshop Series

During the Fall and Spring semesters, our Peer Coaches lead a series of workshops about time management, organization, study strategies, and more! During these interactive sessions, Peer Coaches provide evidence-based strategies to help students reach their academic goals, share their own experiences, and answer students’ questions on a wide variety of topics. Information about these workshops is usually available about a month after classes start, and details can be found on our Workshops page, Announcements feed, and virtual calendar.

Online Resource Library

Our academic skills resource library includes videos, worksheets, apps, and more! You can filter by specific academic skills (study strategies, time management, etc.) or browse the entire collection.

Meet with a Learning Center Staff Member

Learning Center staff are also available to meet one-on-one with University College students and answer questions about academic skills resources. Email learningcenter@wustl.edu to set up an appointment with a staff member.
