We’ll do a deep dive to explore your dreams, academic trajectory, and long-term goals.
2. Initial Roadmap Planning
Your coach will create a personalized College Roadmap Plan that highlights learnings, work to-do and milestones-to-meet in a clear timeline. The Plan will detail an evolving schedule of sessions, complemented by offline support to help keep students on track for success.
3. Personal Discovery
Self-reflection and mindset to help gain clarity about the student’s identity, interests, values, and goals – laying the foundation for academic and college planning. Your Fortuna coach will help you to identify your strengths, areas for growth, and positive positioning.
