Confidence Coaching

SAT and ACT coaching sessions occur two months prior to the student’s desired testing date. Weekly, over seven consecutive sessions, learners meet the College Coach in small groups of two to four for two hours at a time. During the meetings, the College Coach demonstrates proven strategies for test taking success. Test takers learn to predict problem formats, answer with confidence using proven strategies, troubleshoot wrong answers, and use simpler methods to cut down on answer times and errors. In week six, the College Coach grades a full test for each student and creates a personalized packet of review materials tailored to that student’s needs. In week eight, students who have followed the College Coach’s success protocol, take the test and increase their scores, on average, 220 points.

Carolyn O’Donnell, a professionally certified Florida English and Social Science educator, graduated at the top of her high school class with SAT scores in the 95% national percentile. After earning a Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University in 2002, she began coaching undergraduate and graduate students in test taking strategies. At that time, she sought out her own teachers to learn self-reflection practices that would give her the courage to live a more impassioned, conscious life.
