Academic Support
Makshivim Net provides psychological, academic and social support for students suffering from emotional distress, who are afraid of seeking personal assistance.
Support is provided online, primarily through chats. It strengthens the student and helps them integrate into academic life.
The virtual service we provide gives emotional, social and academic support to help the students advance within the academic setting.
Many students who suffer from emotional distress have difficulty obtaining the assistance they truly need. They are also concerned about being stigmatized and are afraid of beginning relationships with students who are tagged as suffering from psychological, social or learning issues. The various assignments and grades lead them to feel uncertain and afraid.
This situation can make them feel that they are failures and have problems coping, particularly among students suffering from emotional distress. Sometimes, the situation may be so bad that the student wants to give up and quit their studies.
We offer:
- Online mentoring by a skilled mentor, which allows the student to remain anonymous and facilitates easy communication
- Creation of a personal academic program
- Assistance adjusting to academic life
- Encouragement to complete assignments as required
- Tools to teach coping skills
- Online chats with other students coping with similar challenges
