What is the difference between an academic coach and a
tutor?
An academic coach focuses on study skills and strategies
that contribute to success in college, while a tutor
helps students with the content of a particular subject. In other
words, an academic coach does not focus on
content—an academic coach instead can help you to become a
better learner, improve your study skills, and find ways to plan your time, to
get assignments done. In this way, coaches can help with any subject, since
they do not focus on content, but on strategy: coaches will lead you to find
study skills and learning strategies that will help you succeed in any
course.

an academic coach and tutor can provide.
