The next pitch session is: Thursday December 6th | 4:00-7:00pm | ANGU 435
*** Pitch sessions are open to the public and may count as a Certificate of Leadership experience as long as a reflection piece is submitted no later than 2 weeks after the experience ***

The Coaches Corner in the Chapman Learning Commons is a great resource for students looking to expand on their academic skills and knowledge. Coaches are different from a tutor because rather than help you with specific course material, a coach helps you develop your “soft” skills; things like studying, note-taking techniques and exam preparation. The coach also works to find the resources and people on campus to help you further. For example, if you’re having trouble with writing, a coach may help you identify where your problem areas are and might connect you with the Writing Centre. The coaches also highlight the student toolkits, which are collections of tried and tested student tips.
We have specialized Coaches available for Science and Arts but we encourage all students to come in and have a conversation.
Find a Coach for yourself and see the difference!
Open in the Chapman Learning Commons Monday-Friday 11:00-4:00.
