12. A peer coach is an alumna/us or a current student (undergraduate or graduate) trained to guide and encourage other students in improving their academic performance and developing as life-long learners. What do Peer Coaches Do?: Peer coaches assist students by focusing on enhancing general study skills, tutoring in specific content areas, navigating through college resources, and developing study strategies within their Areas of Study. Peer coaches work in both face-to-face and virtual environments. They are trained by the staff of the NEC Office of Academic Support following internationally recognized certification standards set forth by the College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA) for peer tutors. Peer Coaches work as volunteers, work-study, or practicum students.
