Why Choose Us

Is This the Support Your Child Needs?

If your child is smart but struggling,

disorganized despite multiple reminders, or has ADHD but traditional tutoring hasn't helped—executive function coaching might be the missing piece. Executive function skills are the mental processes that help us plan, focus, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks. They're the foundation of academic success—yet they're rarely taught in school. When these skills are underdeveloped, even the brightest students can struggle.

Signs Your Child May Need Executive Function Coaching:

Knows the material but can't perform

Your child understands concepts when explained but struggles to complete assignments independently or forgets what they learned by test time

Chronic disorganization

Lost papers, forgotten assignments, messy backpack, can't find what they need despite your best organizational systems.

Time management struggles

Homework that should take 30 minutes takes 3 hours. Rushes through assignments at the last minute or can't get started at all.

My Approach:

Building the Foundation First

I don’t believe in band-aid solutions. Most students with EF challenges have been given organizational systems or study tips that don’t stick—because no one addressed the underlying skills gaps.

The Knowledge Tree Philosophy

Knowledge is like a tree: without a strong trunk, the branches can’t thrive. I start by understanding where your child is coming from—what foundational executive function skills are missing or underdeveloped. Only then do I introduce strategies that will actually stick.


This means we don’t jump straight to advanced planners or complex study systems. We build the cognitive foundation first: working memory, cognitive flexibility, impulse control, task initiation. Then we layer strategies on top of that foundation—strategies your child can actually use independently.

What's Included in ADHD & EF Coaching:

  • Initial Assessment & Goal Setting

    We start with a comprehensive conversation about your child's strengths, challenges, and goals. | assess current executive function skills to understand where to begin.

  • Personalized Strategy Development

    Every brain is different. I create customized systems for organization, time management, focus, and task completion that work with your child's brain, not against it.

  • Skill Building Through Real Work

    We don't just talk about organization—we practice it with real homework, real projects, real life. Skills are built through doing, with me as the coach and guide.

  • Metacognitive Awareness

    I teach students to understand how their brain works, what triggers their challenges, and how to advocate for themselves. Self-awareness is transformative.
