Academic Coaching Dr. Sherill Anderson, sanderson@sunymaritime.edu, 718-409-7348 Academic Coaching is an ongoing partnership between student and our professional coach. It focuses on enhancing a student’s academic skills, promote self-advocacy, and increase a student’s confidence. In one-on-one conversations, the student and coach will work together to identify the student's unique learning strengths and growth opportunities. During these meetings, each student will be able to develop a unique plan to achieve their academic goals. Accommodation Services
