To receive Southern State's coaching services, you must complete the Learning Services Registration

• Learning Services Registration

Once the form is completed, you are eligible to utilize the coaching resources which include drop-in labs, one-on-one sessions and online coaching through Canvas.

• Learning Style Questionnaire

Everyone learns and processes information differently. Some students like to see how a problem may be resolved while other students may prefer to be hands on when introduced to a subject. Ever wonder what your Learning Style is? Take this brief online Learning Style Questionnaire and you will discover which style works for you. Connect with a Learning Coach to learn more about your results and how to best utilize your learning styles and strengths.

Our mission is to develop independent, responsible, lifelong-learners by promoting active learning, increasing student motivation and instilling confidence. The center strives to create an open, inviting atmosphere conducive to learning. Coaches will seek to identify learning styles and assist the student in developing sets of learning strategies which address their needs.

If you think coaching is about failure, think again! Learning Services offers students an opportunity for academic success. Use the available resources to:

• assist with time management;
• build and reinforce basic knowledge;
• discover Southern State student support services;
• identify learning styles and strategies;
• improve grades and overall GPA;
• develop & enhance mathematical skills
• obtain feedback on written assignments;
• prepare for exams and standardized tests;
• receive assistance with formatting papers;
• stay on top of coursework; and
• tackle difficult concepts.

The staff of Learning Services are here to provide you with support and guidance. Feel free to contact them with any questions you may have!
