Your Child Deserves Executive Function Support Built for Their Brain
Our personalized Executive Function tutoring equips your child with strategies and tools that work with their unique brain, not against it. We focus on building lifelong skills that go beyond academics, fostering confidence, self-belief, and true independence.
You’re not just investing in better grades...
“I’m tired of reminding them to do their homework.”
“We’ve tried so many tools, but nothing sticks.”
“I feel like groundhog day is here and never ends.”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
You see your child’s intelligence, creativity, and unique capabilities (yet traditional approaches keep falling short).
That’s because the real issue here isn’t effort or motivation.
It’s executive function: the set of skills that help students stay organized, manage time, regulate emotions, and follow through on what matters.
We work with proactive parents like you who are thinking beyond grades.
You’re asking the deeper questions:
Will my child develop self-advocacy skills to navigate college independently?
Can they build systems that will support them in their future career?
Do they have the emotional tools to sustain healthy relationships?
Are they learning to work with their brain instead of against it?
You’re not looking for quick fixes or temporary improvements.
Your child needs a coach and a tutor who understand their learning style and can teach them the strategies to transform their strengths into lasting success.
With Executive Function Tutoring, you’re investing in your child’s future:
To create a life they love, form meaningful relationships, and contribute their unique gifts to the world.

Your child works directly with a dedicated EF tutor that tailors a learning gameplan based on their unique needs.
Our sessions are fully remote, so your child can learn from home (or anywhere) with the flexibility that works best for their schedule.

Are Daily School Struggles Creating Tension Between You and Your Child?
Many children face challenges in school, but if your child is falling behind (despite their best efforts), it may be a sign they’re struggling with executive functioning skills. Here are some common signs to look out for:
- Difficulty staying organized, keeping track of assignments, and meeting deadlines
- Trouble focusing on tasks and getting easily distracted
- Procrastinating and struggling to get started on assignments
- Finding it challenging to manage time effectively and juggle multiple commitments
- Struggling with emotional regulation (often feeling stressed or overwhelmed)

FAQs
Find answers to your questions about our tutoring services and what our support can bring to your child and your family.
My kid is really struggling. Have you actually helped kids like mine?
Yes! Many of the students we support come in overwhelmed, shut down, or convinced nothing will work. And that’s exactly where we begin. Whether your child avoids work until the last minute, forgets everything, or resists help, we tailor support that meets them where they are (without judgment) and build trust from there. Progress may not be instant, but we’ve helped students just like yours find their footing and become more confident and self-reliant.
Can you really teach a kid to care about being more organized?
Yes, and we do it without forcing it. Our approach isn’t about color-coded binders or rigid rules. It’s about helping students connect the dots: “When I know where things are and plan ahead, life feels less stressful.”
Once students feel seen, supported, and in control, they often begin to want more organization because it makes things easier for them (not just for the adults around them).
What happens during the session? And what do async services include?
During the 60-minute trial, we’ll talk through what’s been tough, help your child work through something real (like an upcoming test or project), and begin to identify where executive function challenges show up. It’s practical, relational, and low-pressure.
If you choose to continue, our asynchronous services include things like follow-up emails with strategies, teacher or parent communication, assignment tracking, and text check-ins. These are quiet support in-between sessions that keeps your child on track without you having to carry it all.
How are you different from a school counselor or tutor?
Great question. Counselors offer essential emotional support, and traditional tutors help with subject content. We sit in the middle. Our work focuses on how your child learns like building skills in planning, task initiation, and emotional regulation.
We also personalize our approach based on your child’s brain and needs. Plus, we loop in you and the school when needed, so your child has a full-circle support system, not just one person checking in once a month.
Is virtual really effective for this kind of support?
Yes, and for many students, it’s even better. Virtual tutoring reduces distractions and gives students more control over the space.
Our Executive Function (EF) Tutors are trained to read tone, energy, and EF patterns, even through a screen. And since most school platforms and assignments are already online, we can integrate real tools and schoolwork right into the session.
This sounds helpful, but is it sustainable for my family long-term?
We get it—families are making tough decisions. Many families start with the trial to get a clear sense of fit. We also design our services to build independence, so the goal isn’t years of ongoing support. It’s steady, meaningful progress that allows your child (and you) to breathe again.
