Coaching is a process that takes time and commitment. Typically, our students are best prepared for independence after 8-12 months of consistent coaching. Our coaching level assessment will provide you with a more tailored estimate of the expected length of your child's coaching journey based on your child's unique needs and profile.
When you sign up for online coaching, you'll be starting a transformative process. Your coach will work toward forging a trusting alliance with your child as they begin to work on your child's goals. The coaching relationship forms a solid foundation for honest reflection and an environment where students feel truly supported as they take on new challenges. Coaching occurs in 4-week auto-renewal cycles until your child has achieved their objectives. Most students are prepared for fading from coaching support in 8-12 months of consistent work with their coach.
How much does Beyond BookSmart cost? Pricing is based on membership level, and weekly rates begin at $134/week for level one coaching students who prepay for 24 weeks. Your student receives 1:1 online personalized coaching with a highly trained coach matched to their needs in weekly 45-minute sessions. 60-minute and 75-minute sessions are also available (pricing upon request). Our members also receive unlimited access to our library of on-demand webinars and video tips.
We have 2 levels of coaching programs, Level One and Level Two that relate to the student’s needs and challenges. At every level, all of our coaches must have a master's level degree in education or a related field, or equivalent, and have experience working successfully 1:1 with students or adults. They all must go through a rigorous vetting and training process and pass our comprehensive exam in order to be an Executive Function coach with Beyond BookSmart. Coaches also receive ongoing mentorship on a regular basis and receive ongoing professional development through Beyond BookSmart’s Professional Development Team.
Our coaching level survey will help determine which level of coaching is the best fit for your child.

Developing Executive Function skills is a process that takes time and consistency, much the same as any ability you may want to improve. Can you imagine, for example, achieving a goal of playing the piano or running a marathon without committing to ongoing practice? It's not likely that you'd see the improvements you desire if you worked toward these goals only when you felt like it. Similarly, with Executive Function coaching, we see the best outcomes when clients mindfully set aside a consistent time each week to work with their coach 1:1. (You can think of it as having a personal trainer for your brain!) Our program is a good fit for parents who understand that their child's coaching journey is oftentimes the better part of a year until the student can independently and consistently apply their personal toolkit of strategies.
While each child is unique, the sample descriptions below will provide you with examples of students who thrive in each level of our coaching program.
Lauren is a 6th grader who struggles with keeping her materials organized and knowing what she needs to do for homework in each of her classes. She did well in elementary school, but once she encountered a schedule with multiple teachers with different expectations, she became overwhelmed and embarrassed about forgetting and losing assignments. Her mom has stepped in to oversee her work and speak with her teachers, but she understands this won’t work well for their relationship in the long run. She wants to see Lauren become independent and learn the skills she needs. Lauren has been diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type, which is well managed and has been seeing a therapist for mild anxiety for the past year. She enjoys connecting with caring adults.
James is a 9th grader who struggles with managing most aspects of his schoolwork. He is very bright yet his grades do not reflect his potential. In middle school, he was able to get by with last-minute pushes for projects, helped by his dad, and his fast processing speed, which allowed him to understand classroom content without additional study time. Now that he’s in high school, he’s resisting the idea that he has to change his tactics and learn time management and study skills. He has daily conflicts with his parents over his screen time. His parents have tried numerous times to intervene and they are at a loss. James was diagnosed with ADHD hyperactive type and mild ASD. He can be quite rigid in his thinking but has made a couple of nice connections with his science teacher and his Robotics Club leader in middle school. He does not want to engage in coaching at this time, but his parents are making it a condition of him getting screen time.
