Academic Support
We have a team of learning professionals called Academic Coaches. They are available to help you with all aspects of learning, whether you have fallen behind or you are ready to get ahead.
Focused Help with Your Studies
Meet with an academic coach for topics such as time management and planning, coping with stress, motivation, test-taking strategies, reading textbooks and journal articles, developing presentations, and more. An academic coach can also help you build a learning plan when you need to catch up or keep up with the demands of your semester.
Academic Content Coach
If you would like to dive deeper into philosophical, biblical, and theological concepts, or if you have questions about some of the abstract concepts in your courses, you can email Marcus to set up a session or join a group session. Marcus works on the Richmond campus but can come to Langley by request.
Students can have up to three 30-minute sessions per semester at no cost. For focused weekly coaching sessions, go to your add/drop section and register for SKLS 003. There is a fee of $500.
To book an appointment with an academic coach, visit our Learning Commons booking platform. Remember to use your @mytwu.ca email address.
Every semester, we offer a Study Skills course to help students gain a greater awareness of what it takes to face the rigours of university academics.
Topics include:
- Time management
- Note-taking
- Effective reading
- Memory techniques
- Test-taking
- Procrastination and goal setting
- Critical thinking
SKLS 001 is open to all students and is offered in the Fall and Spring semesters. The cost of Study Skills is $195. You can register for it the same way you register for your other courses.
