Executive Function Coaching

What is Executive Functioning?

Executive functioning is a set of important skills that help students organize, plan, manage time, and problem-solve—skills that are essential for success in school, college, and beyond. When students build strong executive functioning, they learn how to set goals, break tasks into manageable steps, stay on top of assignments, and advocate for themselves when they need support. These abilities help students discover and use their strengths, overcome challenges, and feel confident in their ability to handle responsibilities.

How is Executive Function Coaching Different ?

Executive function coaching is different from tutoring, educational therapy, and counseling.

Tutoring helps students with specific academic subjects, like math or reading.
Educational therapy provides strategies for learning and processing information.
Counseling focuses on emotional well-being and mental health.

Executive function coaching empowers students to develop practical life and learning skills. It’s about building routines, organization, and self-advocacy so students can use their strengths to succeed, both academically and personally. Coaching may include:

Learning how to break down assignments and projects into manageable steps
Creating personalized systems for organizing materials, schedules, and deadlines
Developing strategies for effective time management and prioritizing tasks
Building routines that support consistency and reduce stress
Practicing self-advocacy by communicating needs and asking for help
Strengthening problem-solving skills to overcome challenges
Setting realistic goals and tracking progress
Increasing confidence and independence in school and daily life

Who Is Executive Function Coaching Right For?

This coaching program is designed for high school juniors, seniors, and college students who are ready to take an active role in their growth. The best fit is a student who wants to improve their organization, time management, and self-advocacy skills, and is motivated to try new strategies and make real changes.

Families play an important part in the process, and your involvement helps support your student’s progress. Coaching is a commitment of at least 12 weeks, with weekly sessions, so that we can build momentum and see meaningful results together.

If your student is ready to work toward greater independence and confidence, and your family is willing to participate in the journey, executive function coaching can be a powerful step forward.
