“I look forward to our weekly sessions so I can share with you my “wins and challenges”. The wins are great, especially when I can share a good grade with you. The challenges are not so scary after I 'chunk' them down with you. This means so much to me. My neurodiversity, anxiety, and ADHD sometimes makes it difficult for me to believe in myself. You always have the right words and processes to make me feel like I can do the work and be successful.”

First and foremost, we get to know you, your needs, and your goals. This understanding provides the foundation we'll use to create your support roadmap.
Success looks different for every student. Based on your family's unique challenges and goals, we'll match your student with the best Executive Function coach from our team of 200 experts.
Once your student is matched with the right coach, we provide a customized plan to help them reach their goals. Typically, this involves weekly sessions, targeted tools & strategies, parent check-ins, and collaborative goal-setting.
Our ultimate goal is to move your student toward independence. As they continue coaching, we'll assess progress, listen to feedback, and optimize our approach to ensure that your student is getting closer to their goals.
"I look forward to our weekly sessions to share wins and challenges. Wins are great, especially good grades. Challenges aren’t so scary after we chunk them down. My neurodiversity, anxiety, and ADHD make it hard to believe in myself, but you always have the right words and processes to help me feel capable. You help me believe I can do the work and succeed."
"Rachel has been my Executive Function coach since December. Since then, we have been meeting once a week during the school year. We have worked on physical organization, time management, setting priorities, stress, and study habits. Every week we organize my bag, go through helpful strategies, planning out the week, and reviewing what I need to work on. I have definitely improved in all of the above and I really enjoy working with her."
"Michael, thank you for teaching me many new tools for helping me in school this year! I have enjoyed taking in your knowledge and using it as my own now. You are the first person who was ever really able to make me understand things that I needed help on. I have also felt that you have been a very nice person to me because you were always open to listening to what I was struggling with in school. Thank you."
"I’ve been working with my coach since the summer before college. Forming a routine and staying organized has been key to my success. Coaching helped me improve study and writing skills without wasting time commuting. I’m now more confident and efficient. I complete work in advance instead of cramming the night before. My grades and confidence have improved. I highly recommend Beyond BookSmart."
“Before coaching, I struggled with organization and time management, which made academic success difficult. I began to doubt myself. Through coaching, I learned to prioritize tasks and stay organized. My grades improved, and I now stay on top of daily tasks. These skills go beyond school. My living space is tidier, and life feels more manageable. I can’t thank Beyond BookSmart enough!
