Get Connected to a Great Exectuive Functioning Tutor Today
From kindergarten to 12th grade, every minute of a student’s day is planned: homeroom, classes, lunch, and study hall. Every night is reserved for sports, homework, and extracurriculars, all with parents checking in on your progress.
Students moving on from high school to college find themselves with more freedom in their schedule than they’ve previously experienced, often with class taking up only 6-8 hours a week. Classes are harder than ever before and require lots more heads-down study and work time after class than high school required. There are also many more distractions that college brings-- long lines in the cafeteria, newfound friendships, Greek life, sports, and more. Not every student can manage all of this time independently, and they may need professional help to review syllabi and make a plan for each week of the semester to best utilize this time.
Do you find yourself or your student struggling with organization, time management, or staying focused on tasks?
A personal tutor can empower you to overcome these challenges and enhance your overall efficacy. The skills modeled and taught by an executive functioning tutor will impact a student's academics, future career, and overall organization of daily life tasks.
The mission behind our executive functioning tutors is to work with students who struggle in areas such as time management, organization, initiating tasks, cognitive flexibility, and creating healthy habits. Our expert tutors use various strategies and resources to teach and reinforce skills that enable students to become enhanced independent learners.
What are executive functioning skills?
Building on skills such as working memory, organization, emotional and/or self-control, time management, and metacognition. The purpose is to have a student become a problem solver or an independent learner and not lean on others to be successful!
Metacognition is the awareness and understanding of one’s own cognitive processes.

“Tutoring By A College Professor has truly helped my son in his pre-med college courses in Chemistry and Biology. The tutors are well matched who have majors in these areas and are also heading on to medical school. Very grateful for this program and the knowledgeable tutors that explain and help him with any questions on course work or give him pointers on studying for his exams. The tutors make themselves available when needed as he needs help. He is not just confined to those subjects, but for other courses if needed they will get him the help. Very happy parent!!”
