"I am passionate about CollegePlus! because I know firsthand how wonderful it indeed is! As a student, I was familiar with and excited about the concept of accelerated distance learning, and had tried to "do" ADL on my own...but it just wasn’t working. When I signed up as a student with CollegePlus!, not only did I receive academic help, but they offered so much more on top. Every phone call, my coach was there to encourage me in my spiritual walk as well as in my academics.

I am excited now as a coach to be able to assist my students not only in their academic studies and pursuits, but also to encourage them in their walk with our Lord. My heart's desire is to encourage them to live every day and do everything (be it studying for a CLEP or washing dishes!) for our King."

+ How Are the Coaches Selected and Trained?

Our coaches are chosen based on three criteria. They must:

Be dedicated Christians and proven teachers of others.
Be thoroughly familiar with the accelerated distance learning process through personal experience.
Possess strong verbal and written communication skills.

Once coaches are selected, CollegePlus! provides them with an intense training and certification process in which they learn the systems and processes unique to CollegePlus! The coaches also receive ongoing training and performance feedback from our management team and clients.

+ How Do We Assign Students to Our Coaches?

Coaches are assigned first by gender, then by availability, and finally by degree similarity and student/coach personality. CollegePlus! has a policy of assigning male students to male coaches and female students to female coaches. This allows for a deeper relationship to develop between the students and coaches. While CollegePlus! works with a large quantity of students, our focus remains on offering a service of consistent quality.

Where possible, degree similarity between the student and his coach is taken into account. However, because CollegePlus! coaches have access to all the program’s resources, and to each other, they are capable of offering assistance to any student, regardless of their degree.
