Academic coaching and tutoring are both forms of support that aim to help students improve their academic performance, but they differ in several key ways.

Tutoring is typically focused on providing subject-specific support, helping students to understand and master a specific subject or course. Tutors work one-on-one with students to review material, provide explanations, and answer questions. Tutors can also help students develop better study habits and test-taking strategies, but the main focus is on the subject matter itself.

Academic coaching, on the other hand, is a more holistic approach that focuses on helping students develop the skills and strategies they need to succeed in school. An academic coach will work with the student to identify areas where the student needs support and help the student develop strategies to overcome any challenges. This may include assistance with time management, organization, study skills, and test-taking strategies.

Academic coaches may also help students set goals and create an action plan to achieve those goals. This may involve setting short-term and long-term goals, and breaking those goals down into smaller, more manageable tasks. As the coaching process continues, the coach will provide regular feedback and support to help the student stay on track and make progress.
