Learning & Examination Coaching

Learning and examination coaching is about working effectively and goal-oriented on difficult situations during the course of studies. Reasons for coaching can be, for example, exams, special tasks during studies or the optimisation of one's own learning and working behaviour.

In one-on-one coaching, we will work out individual solution approaches with you, from which you can choose the variant that is best suited to you. The background and scientific principles of the solution-oriented methods used can be clarified in an initial discussion.

Dates

Participation in learning and examination coaching is only possible after prior registration (for registration see contact on the right).
