📚 Tutoring vs. Coaching — What’s the Difference?
At NWCS, both play an important role—but they serve very different needs.
🔹 Tutoring focuses on what to learn. It’s subject-specific help: think math problems, essay editing, or test prep.
🔹 Coaching focuses on how to learn. It’s about building routines, planning assignments, staying motivated, and developing executive functioning skills.
Most of our students don’t struggle because they can’t understand the material—it’s because they need support with time management, organization, and follow-through. That’s where coaching makes all the difference.
