Executive function skills are ....perhaps the most cherished of human functions.


Phillip Zelazo - Executive Function Researcher

Executive Function Tutoring

Does your child deal with disorganization, procrastination, difficulty starting a big social studies projects, and time management? Many bright children have their natural abilities eclipsed by their executive function issues. This is especially true for students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). 


Executive function tutoring (EF tutoring) is the combination of executive function coaching (organization, planning) and tutoring best practices. Through research and careful observation, we noticed that tutoring, study habits, and executive function skills can reinforce each other. We know that elite study skills are almost impossible to develop without planning and time management. 


Although common for students with ADHD, EF tutoring works miracles for non-ADHD elementary and middle school students because they often grapple with impulsivity, short attention spans, and weak organization skills.


Whether your child has ADHD or just needs a few new skills to become more productive and efficient, we build up your child's executive function toolkit.
