“Etan has been a huge help. During our first meeting I told him that I had zero confidence I would accomplish my coding goals. I was really, really stuck. It’s bizarre to think back on that because it ended up being a turning point for me. With a little encouragement, accountability, and good advice, Etan helped get me on the right track. I very grateful to have had that support.

It has been invaluable to learn how I can learn this in the best way possible. It has been really really instrumental. Its amazing every couple weeks had such a huge impact and totally changed things for me. One takeaway is tough but the idea that this is doable, that you can do this, you just have to go one step at a time. It all starts there.

“Educational coaching was essential, I don’t think I would have finished the program with out it, I would have dropped out. Your perspective brought a lot of positivity in how I thought about things. Using a problem solving mindset more than black and white thinking. I felt encouraged and motivated after our sessions to focus on the positive framing.

I just accepted a dream software engineering position and I wouldn’t have been here without all your support and help. Thank you again so much! This is life changing for me. ”

“I am so grateful for you and your help. There is no way I could have gotten here without your help. You reminded me that the end goal was achievable because you affirmed the voice in me that says, ‘You can do this’.

“
Working with Etan was amazing! I could not have made it this far in the course without his help! I learned a lot about how to manage my time and goals from him and those skill sets I will find extremely valuable for my future endeavors! The check in calls were extremely helpful in setting my goals and being held accountable to those goals and connecting with Etan to talk through all of your individual habits.”

“The goals I set encouraged me to code daily because I knew I would be accountable. Being able to discuss what was difficult helped me not feel isolated and adrift. I also enjoyed discussing what I found helpful in my learning with Etan so he could share with other students. I felt validated and like I had genuine support. It was a huge encouragement to me throughout.

Etan was great. He was geniuine and was available for questions or feedback outside of scheduled time. He took the time to ask me the questions that were right for me and my style of learning. He listened to my goals and watched for patterns that my help or hurt my success. I am very grateful for his coaching.”

“Studying online sometimes can feel like you can go at your own pace but when you have set goals with the coach, you feel like someone is holding you accountable.”

“Etan has always been available for any questions or concerns...the wellness checks to make sure I was doing alright and not getting too stressed. Learning to code is challenging and it was really nice having him to be there when things got to be too much, he was very reassuring and friendly when it came to dealing with the pressures of a fast paced learning environment.”

“Etan had a way of making me know the if I was struggling it wasn’t out of the ordinary, and I wasn’t unintelligent, that it was normal and talked me off a ledge with that first project. Its so critical to say that you’re struggling.”

“Etan didn’t say this is right and this is wrong but really helped me fine tune what worked for me.”

“Etan was very helpful with his guidance and tips, he always had a way of reassuring me and motivating me to keep going.

“I have no doubt that the program would have taken me longer to complete if I did not have an Educational Coach. Mapping out how much time each section should take and setting deadlines was very valuable.”
