Frequently Asked Questions

How is my child's coach selected?

Our expert learning strategists will assess your child's needs and match them with the most suitable coach.

Who are the coaches?

At Coachbit, our coaches come from diverse backgrounds and excel in their respective fields. They undergo thorough screening, training, and background checks. You can explore their coach profiles here.

What is a coaching team?

At Coachbit, we've designed a system where your child not only has their main coach for regular support but also has access to a whole team of coaches. Our coaching teams collaborate to provide different perspectives and expertise for a holistic coaching experience. It is basically like having a group of specialists working together to help your child succeed.

This approach ensures that your child receives comprehensive support tailored to their needs, giving them the best possible chance to thrive and grow along their Coachbit Journey.

How will the coach interact with my child?

Your child's coach will communicate with them through voice, video, and text messages within the Coachbit app, which is available on iOS and Android devices.

How much time does coaching take?

Depending on the coaching plan, your child will have live sessions either weekly or daily, with each session lasting approximately 15 minutes. On days without live check-ins, they will complete a small task in the app. This regular schedule helps them stay accountable and consistent, which is essential for developing habits, routines, and skills.

Is coaching suitable for college students?

Coaching is highly beneficial for college students. We specialize in building productivity routines tailored to task management and study skills, which are essential for success in college. Additionally, our foundational routines support students in maintaining consistent morning and evening habits, addressing common challenges like lack of sleep and disorganization, which can hinder college performance.

Is coaching done via live video call?

No, coaching sessions don't happen through live video calls. Instead, coaches communicate with students through text, video, and voice messages within the Coachbit app. The app also includes tools for organization and studying. We do this for a few reasons. Some students feel anxious about live video calls and might skip sessions. Also, using text, video, and voice messages makes the program more engaging and familiar for kids.

Can I request a specific coach?

Once you've completed payment and shared your child's preferred schedule, we'll check your preferred coach's schedule and availability. If they're free during those times, we'll gladly pair them up with your child!

Can the coaching journey be customized for my child?

Yes, the coach will customize the coaching journey to meet your child's needs.

At what age can my child start coaching?

We welcome students starting from 10 years old, covering both school and college/university levels.

Our coaching supports continual growth, offering varying levels of difficulty in habits and skills and ensuring ongoing support without a fixed graduation period.
