Empower Your Academic Journey with Strategies for Success
Academic Coaching
Falling Behind, Feeling Overwhelmed, or Struggling to Stay on Track?
Success in school isn’t just about intelligence—it’s about having the right skills to plan, organize, and follow through. Many students struggle not because they lack ability, but because they haven’t developed the tools to manage their workload effectively. When executive function challenges impact studying, homework completion, and test preparation, school can feel overwhelming.
If you or your child experiences:
- Procrastination and incomplete assignments
- Disorganization and difficulty keeping track of materials
- Trouble staying focused, studying effectively, and managing time
- Struggles with following multi-step directions or preparing for exams
They may need academic coaching to build both executive function strategies and core academic skills that support long-term success.
Understanding Academic Skills that Promote Success
What is Academic Coaching
Academic coaching goes beyond traditional tutoring by building the executive function and academic skills necessary for sustained success. Instead of focusing solely on subject content, we help students develop effective learning strategies, manage time efficiently, and stay organized—so they can approach schoolwork with confidence. Through one-on-one coaching, students work closely with an expert to create a personalized academic strategy that helps them:
Plan & Prioritize Work Effectively
Break large assignments, essays, and projects into manageable steps
Develop Strong Study Habits & Test Prep Strategies
Learn note-taking techniques, active studying methods, and memory retention strategies
Improve Task Initiation & Homework Completion
Overcome procrastination and create structured work routines
Stay Organized & Manage Responsibilities
Keep track of assignments, schedules, and materials to reduce stress
Emotional Regulation
Managing frustration and stress during challenging tasks
Without the right strategies, students may develop coping mechanisms like avoiding schoolwork, procrastinating, or disengaging entirely. Over time, this can turn into disliking school—not because they aren’t capable, but because they don’t have the tools to succeed.
From Overwhelmed to On Track
When Academic Coaching Can Make a Difference
Academic struggles can stem from more than just difficulty understanding content—they’re often tied to challenges with time management, organization, study habits, and follow-through. When students struggle to keep up with coursework, complete assignments, or prepare effectively for exams, academic coaching provides the structure and strategies they need to succeed.

Frequently Asked Questions
You ask, we
answer
Common questions answered to support your child’s journey.
What is academic coaching, and how is it different from tutoring?
Academic coaching focuses on building executive function and academic skills like time management, organization, study strategies, and test preparation. While tutoring targets subject-specific knowledge, coaching helps students develop the tools to manage their workload, complete assignments independently, and stay on top of deadlines.
Who is academic coaching for?
Academic coaching is beneficial for middle school, high school, and college students who struggle with procrastination, time management, study skills, organization, or balancing academic responsibilities. It’s also a great fit for students with ADHD, learning differences, or executive function challenges who need structured support.
What does a typical academic coaching session look like?
Each session is personalized, but students typically:
- Review upcoming assignments, deadlines, and priorities
- Assess what’s working and where they need support
- Strategize effective study methods, time management, and organization techniques
- Plan for the week ahead to ensure follow-through and accountability
Sessions are goal-oriented, interactive, and focused on building lasting academic habits.
Can academic coaching help with ADHD and executive dysfunction?
Yes! Our coaches specialize in working with students with ADHD and executive function challenges, helping them develop customized strategies to improve focus, organization, and self-regulation. We provide structured support that helps students build independence and confidence in their academic abilities.
How long does it take to see results?
Every student is different, but many begin to notice improvements in their initial goal areas within two months. It is important to note that we often have to first “put out fires” because it is hard to work on skills while the student is behind. Long-term success comes from consistent practice and implementation, and our coaches help students stay on track through accountability and skill development.
How do you match students with a coach?
We take a personalized approach to matching students with the right coach based on their needs, learning style, and personality. Our goal is to ensure that each student has a supportive and productive coaching relationship that fosters growth.
Do you provide in-person or virtual coaching?
We are a fully virtual coaching service, which allows us to pair students with the best coach for their needs—regardless of location. Virtual coaching also offers flexibility in scheduling and session length to better fit a student’s routine.
