"STEM Academic Support and Strategy Sessions"

Personalized academic coaching for college students navigating demanding STEM coursework, executive-function challenges, and the transition to independent learning. 

Kelvin combines STEM academic support with organization, study planning, executive-function strategies, self-advocacy, and a clear next-step plan.

A student may bring a challenging concept, a study guide, an upcoming exam, missing assignments, a crowded calendar, an unclear syllabus, or uncertainty about how to ask an instructor for help. Kelvin helps identify the barrier, make the next step clear, and create a plan the student can carry forward.

​​

He specializes in supporting autistic and neurodivergent students, while welcoming all learners who benefit from clear, structured, step-by-step teaching.

 

Led by​ Kelvin Smith, PhD, an autistic STEM academic coach with a background in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. He brings advanced  STEM expertise, lived experience, and a practical, structured approach to supporting students.

This is a good fit for:

1. First and second year college students adjusting to the speed, workload, and independence of college.

2. Autistic and neurodivergent students who want strengths-based support.

3.Students in STEM majors or STEM-courses such as computer science, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, data science.

4. Students who need both subject support and a better system for studying, deadlines, planning, staying organized, task initiation, and self-advocacy.

I like Kelvin’s voice, speaking ability, temperament, and how he communicates.

Academic Coaching designed for Autistic Learners

I appreciated the specific examples/problems that were solved as a class. I think the lesson was extremely helpful. The examples helped me understand the concepts.

Autism Academic Coaching/Executive Function

The use of examples helped me learn to apply the equations usefully. The lecture allowed me to better understand things I didn’t grasp while reading the text.
