WHY IS MY SMART STUDENT STRUGGLING ACADEMICALLY?
Students are taught WHAT to learn. Few are taught HOW to learn—skills known as Executive Function.
Executive Functioning refers to the strategies involved in planning, focus, time management, organizing, breaking down complex work, keeping track of assignments, managing workload, and following through.

It's not about intelligence
Many students struggle academically — not because they lack ability, but because they haven't developed the systems and executive functioning skills needed to manage their workload
Pricing
What's Included & How it Works
Our sessions are $60 / hour. Students work at whatever pace is comfortable for them.
We have worked with hundreds of students of all ages to help them organize themselves and learn to manage their work effectively using our Executive Management System.
At our first session, we get to know the child’s weak and strong points. We have lots of fun and useful tools to help them strengthen all skills and start thinking about their work in a more active and involved way.
Every child works differently. Below is sample version of the Executive Learning Plan. The specifics will vary with the child and the project. We will provide an estimate when we learn about what the project or lessons entail that your child will be working on.
Sample
Session 1: Assessment - approx. 1 hour
Session 2: Organization/ planning: 90 minutes
Session 3: Research
Session 4: Rough draft – evidence, clarity timing, - 60 -75 minutes
Session 5: Organization, transitions, editing – 75 minutes
Session 6 – 8: Completion of final draft can take 1 – 3 more sessions, each approximately 60 minutes.
