Academic Coaching

Support for every stage of your academic journey

From your first semester to your dissertation defense, coaching helps you rebuild confidence, set a steady routine, and keep making progress.

Ideal for undergraduate & graduate students

Academic Confidence & Success Coaching

For students who feel overwhelmed, behind, or unsure how to meet what their program expects of them. We'll work on the practical side of school and on how you see yourself as a student.

Doctoral Journey Coaching

The doctoral process can be isolating. Dr. Terry has mentored doctoral students through it and knows how easy it is to lose momentum. Coaching gives you structure, perspective, and steady encouragement.

Coaching, never ghostwriting

Dr. Terry coaches you through the process. She does not write, edit, research, or complete academic work for clients. Your work stays yours, and you'll leave with skills you can keep using.

Your first session

The Moving Forward Assessment

Your first paid session sets a baseline. We'll talk through five areas so we both know where you're starting from.

01Current situation. What's happening right now?
02Confidence. Where do you feel confident, and where are you struggling?
03Goals. What would you like to accomplish?
04Barriers. What's getting in the way of progress?
05Next steps. What can realistically happen before our next session?

Every session ends with your Moving Forward Commitments: three things you'll do before we meet again, and one thing you'll remind yourself.
