Semester Success: three options
1/ Summer Workshop for rising 1st-year college students
2/ Summer one-to-one coaching for students who wish to return to college after difficult starts
3/ Coaching and accountability during the fall & spring college semesters
Semester Success is Ramp’s newest program with three options: one-to-one coaching options the fall/spring semesters; one-to-one coaching during the summer after difficult freshman years; and a college-success workshop for rising 1st-year college students in the summer before college. Based on Ramp’s 25 Tips for 1st-year College Students, new and returning college students learn to meet the expectations of college: planning, organization, study habits, life/work balance, and more. Support during the college semester includes two 1-hour one-to-one coaching sessions per week designed to help students navigate their work and stay personally accountable. Students who have done the program have seen substantial increases in course outcomes (course grades and GPA boosts). Send an inquiry to learn more.

Ramp is offering a Semester Success Summer Workshop designed for rising first-year college students before they begin college. The program includes two individual coaching sessions for each participant with Dr. John Giordano in addition to the three half-day group meetings. The program can be done from anywhere you have an internet connection.
The Semester Success Summer Workshop is discussion-based. Former Ramp Coaching clients who are now college students serve as peer mentors. Pre-recorded videos on the workshop topics can be watched before or after workshop sessions and accessed throughout the fall semester, once the workshop is completed. Peer Mentors will hold small-group discussions with participants in addition to discussions and exercises led by Dr. Giordano.
The cost is $690 for the group summer workshop and individual coaching sessions.
