  • Student testimonials

    This is what other students have said about our first coaching track:

    ‘It helped a lot! I thought coaching would be horrible, nothing for me. But I was desperate and did not know how to get my thesis done, ever. I was trapped in this vicious cycle of procrastinating and feeling bad about myself. In the three meetings with my coach I got more insight in what could help me, but also what does not work for me. I got some really helpful tips and he helped me apply them immediately. After over a half year of not getting anywhere, I finally feel like I will get my thesis done at some point in the near future.’

    ‘The coach helped me take a step back and relate where certain issues stem from. The sessions helped me relax and approach issues in a different light.’

    ‘I would say the sessions helped me to gain more self-awareness, it helped me to ask myself important questions and provide answers to them. it also helped me to gain knowledge in things i was curious about. simply put the sessions are about helping you help yourself with the right guidance. ‘

    ‘If you are experiencing stress, pressure or simply not feeling yourself due to whatever reason. You should really check out these coaching sessions. With my coach I was able to pin down the underlying reasons of my study stress and why I didn’t felt bad about myself. Its reflective, helpful and insightful. I can only say that if you struggle a bit or are stuck a bit you should definitely consider joining this program. It helps you overcoming your current obstacles in order to become a happy person again, at least in my case.’
