A Momentum Mentor will walk with you as you complete each part of your college application. This will propel your admissions process and ensure you are ready to move on to the college-readiness assessments (TSIA 2).
Under the guidance of a Momentum Mentor, you will work in a self-paced online program to prepare you for the TSIA 2. Colleges use this assessment to determine appropriate placement in early college courses.
We’ve found that anxiety and unfamiliarity are often stumbling blocks that inhibit young adults from beginning their college journey. By creating and maintaining a personal relationship with your college advisor early on, you’re likely to feel more comfortable advocating for your specific learning needs throughout your entire college experience. Once you’ve established this relationship, personalized short term and long term degree planning will follow.
You will have dedicated time built into your schedule each week to work on any necessary college course work. A Momentum Mentor will be there for any desired tutoring and/or guidance through classwork or assessments. Independent work & study time will be highly encouraged.
