Student-centered coaching is based on the belief that all students have the potential to succeed. Coaches work with students to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and then develop a plan to help them reach their goals. Coaches also provide support and encouragement, and help students to develop the self-confidence they need to succeed.

Questioning: Coaches ask open-ended questions to help students think critically about their learning.
Goal setting: Coaches help students set realistic and achievable goals.
Feedback: Coaches provide students with feedback on their progress, and help them to identify areas where they can improve.
