Adolescence is  a critical period of human development.

During adolescence, the brain fundamentally rewires how teens think, feel, and interact with the world. As teens journey towards independence, navigating increased responsibilities, high-stakes academic demands, and complex social dynamics, this stage often presents unique “challenges” that require specialized coaching approaches. 

Executive function coaching sessions are more than “help with homework” or content-area specific tutoring. Each session is tailor-made to meet the specific executive function needs of the learner. Sessions provide tangible, individualized strategies to address the learners’ challenges with:

• Working Memory: The ability to hold and manipulate information in mind over short periods

• Inhibitory Control: The capacity to resist impulses and filter out distractions

• Cognitive Flexibility: The ability to switch between tasks or perspectives

• Planning and Organization: The ability to create and follow through with steps to complete tasks

• Time Management: Efficiently allocating time to tasks and meeting deadlines

• Emotional Regulation: Managing and responding to emotions appropriately
