Academic Coaching for University Excellence & Outcomes
Nearly one-third of first-year college students fail out before their sophomore year. Do I have your attention?
I can offer real help. The Academic Coaching for University Excellence & Outcomes (ACUXO) is an exclusive program will support your student as they enter college and can potentially save you thousands of dollars while helping them achieve excellent results.
Most students arrive at college unprepared — not because they’re not smart, but because no one ever taught them HOW to succeed and thrive in this environment.
With over two decades of teaching the largest face-to-face classes at the country's largest public university (90,000+ students and counting,) Professor McCarthy has worked with tens of thousands of first-year students and seen firsthand what separates those who thrive from those who struggle. His experience spans the full spectrum of student outcomes—from high-achieving honors students to those at risk of academic failure—giving him rare, practical insight into how college actually works and how students can navigate it successfully from day one.
Student Testimonials
He is great professor overall. Highly recommend his unique approach to lectures made the lectures interesting. I appreciated that he didn't read off the slides, but used to them as a guiding point for him. Attendance is required, measured by knowledge checks. Gives extra credit.

He's a fantastic professor. He makes every class engaging and fun due to his untraditional style that I wish more professors had. His class I have learned the most amount of real world useful information and he is a big reason for that. One of the best professors I have ever had in my life. Take him.

I personally loved his lectures and his approach to teaching. He was down to earth and the times I attended his office hours he would give me great career advice, There's no doubt Professor McCarthy wants to see his students succeed and he gives lots of chances for extra credit too.
