Executive Function Coaching Overview

Executive function coaching teaches people how to organize, plan, prioritize, manage time, maintain focus, self-assess, and study/work efficiently. Self-management skills are increasingly important in a complex world with many distractions and competing priorities. People who learn these skills are better equipped to navigate the challenges of school and adult life.

Who We Work With

Many of our clients are bright, capable students and adults of all ages who are not achieving their potential as a result of ineffective habits. Some have diagnoses such as ADHD or other learning differences and see coaching as excellent additional support to other interventions. Some of our clients have emotional challenges such as anxiety which impact their ability to work effectively. Other clients we work with have no formal diagnoses yet benefit from learning more effective ways to manage their academic or workplace demands.

Academic Coaching vs. Tutoring

While academic coaching includes elements of traditional tutoring, the goals and process of academic coaching reach further and deeper to teach students to become more effective learners, not simply to survive the crisis of the day.
