Frequently Asked Questions

Coaches and Coaching

  • 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?

    Each coach is part of a coaching team. The team provides a space where coaches can collaborate on problem solving for each student. Additionally, if a coach is ill for a day, another member of the team can step in to ensure consistency.

  • How will the coach interact with my child?

    It depends on which coaching plan you select. Options span a combination of video or phone calls, and messaging via chat on the Coachbit app.

  • How much time does coaching take?

    Live video or phone calls take approximately 15 minutes. The daily tiny step takes between 5-15 minutes to complete. Our program will gradually integrate with their homework/studying/productivity routines, but it does this in a way that ends up saving time.

  • 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?

    Yes, if you select a video coaching plan. Otherwise, all communication happens via chat on the Coachbit app (just like texting a friend).

  • My child is anxious about video calls

    No problem – this is common. You can stick with chat only, or coaches can begin with chat and progress steadily to voice messages, then video messages, then live phone calls and eventually live video calls. This gradual progression mimics how we steadily upgrade habits too.

  • 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.

Billing

  • How much does it cost?

    You can view prices on our pricing page.

  • How does payment work?

    Behavior change takes time. So we recommend signing up for our 6 or 12-month subscription plans. You can pay upfront (and get a 15% discount!) or pay monthly. If you’d prefer to test out coaching first, we also offer a month-to-month plan. All payments are securely processed through Stripe, one of the world’s most trusted payment platforms, and you can use either a credit or debit card.

  • How do I update my billing information?

    You can update your card details or billing information on your parent dashboard, under My Account, Billing. If you do not have access to the parent dashboard, please reach out to support at: support@coachbit.com.

    Yes, you can add as many kids to your subscription as you would like. Get 10% off your subscription if you sign up more than one child.

  • Can I pause coaching?
