Sam Lee
Hi everyone! I have been working as an Academic Success Coach at UW-Green Bay since January 2021. Previously, I worked in education for ten years as a high school science teacher, instructional coach and administrator.
As an educator, I enjoyed my opportunities working with students to break down science concepts, increase science vocabulary and develop lab skills. As an Academic Success Coach, I strive to help students become more successful, whether it is to manage their time, become more organized or develop efficient study habits.

Seek Support
"It's just natural to seek help from others. Academic Success Coaching has really helped me out. I was procrastinating constantly on my assignments. They really helped me space out my study periods and get me on track. My grades improved a lot, and with better time management, I was able to spend less time worrying and doing my assignments."
