CoachBright Programme

Coaching helps students identify challenges, reflect on their experiences, set goals and find their own ways forward. The coach asks questions, offers guidance and encourages accountability rather than simply giving you the answers. Your sessions with your coach could cover:

• Developing independent learning habits
• Reflecting on academic challenges and identifying solutions
• Setting goals and tracking progress
• Building confidence and motivation
• Developing time-management and revision strategies

We will match you with a coach based primarily on the bio's we receive from yourself and the coaches. We always try to match based on shared interests and shared personalities. If you would specifically like a male or female coach, please add this to your bio or get in touch with us directly.

Coaches are allocated first based on your and their availability, we will then read over the bio you and the coaches submitted to try to get a good match based on shared interests or personalities.

Sessions do not adhere to a strict structure. Your coach will take your lead in where the coaching conversation goes and what you'd like to focus on. The session is like a conversation, and can flow in the way you'd like it to. 

Your coach will take your lead in the sessions. You can discuss what you'd like to in the sessions and when your coach asks you questions you can simply let them know you'd like to direct the conversation elsewhere. Coaches are there to guide you, but will not push you to where you feel uncomfortable.
