Deaveris coaching connects students with SAT tutors through a privacy-first dashboard. Coaches invite or accept students, view the progress each student chooses to share, leave feedback on completed challenges, and send announcements or direct messages. For students under 18, guardian approval is required before any coaching relationship begins.
Overview
Deaveris provides a privacy-first coaching system that connects students with tutors while keeping students in control of their data. This guide covers everything you need to know about our coaching features.
For Coaches
Getting Started
Coaches can join Deaveris in two ways:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Apply as a Coach | Submit an application through your dashboard to become a verified coach |
| Accept an Invitation | A student invites you to be their coach, and you accept |
Accessing Your Dashboard
Your coach dashboard gives you a complete view of your coaching practice:
- Client list, See all students who have connected with you
- Progress overview, View each student’s recent activity and skill levels
- Pending requests, Accept or decline new coaching invitations
- Announcements, Manage your broadcast messages
Managing Clients
| Action | How to Do It |
|---|---|
| Invite a Client | Enter a student’s email to send a coaching invitation |
| Accept Requests | Review pending requests from students who want to connect |
| View Progress | Click on any client to see their dashboard (based on their privacy settings) |

Providing Feedback
After students complete challenges, you can leave personalized feedback:
- Navigate to the student’s completed challenges
- Click Add Feedback on any challenge
- Write your feedback (guidance, encouragement, or areas to focus on)
- Students will see your feedback in their results
Feedback helps students understand their mistakes and feel supported in their learning journey.
Sending Announcements
Communicate with your clients efficiently:
| Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Broadcast | Send the same message to all your students at once |
| Direct Message | Send a private message to one student |
All messages include read receipts, so you know who has seen your communications.
Understanding Permissions
Students control what coaches can see. This privacy-first approach means:
- Students choose which data to share with each coach
- Some students may share full progress; others may share limited data
- You’ll always see what they’ve explicitly permitted
