Academic Coach (Youth Development & Academic Mentorship)

Job Summary

We are launching a student development and academic coaching program in the Katy area designed to help students build academic confidence, discipline, and direction for their future.

Duties

The Academic Coach will work one-on-one with students to provide structured academic support while also guiding them in developing study habits, organization skills, and personal growth. Sessions combine academic tutoring, academic coaching, mentorship conversations, and exposure to real-world topics such as entrepreneurship and career exploration.
