Executive Function Coaching Services

Helping teens and adolescents stay organized, focused, and confident.

Executive functioning skills are the brain’s self-management system, and many students need direct instruction, guidance, and consistent support to strengthen these essential abilities.

At Teach with Empathy, I work with students in a compassionate, judgment-free space, helping them develop the skills they need to succeed in school and in life.

What Are Executive Function Skills?

Executive functioning includes the abilities to:

Plan and prioritize tasks effectively
Manage time efficiently
Initiate tasks without procrastination
Stay organized
Use working memory to hold and apply information
Self-monitor progress and performance
Regulate emotions to handle stress and frustration

These skills impact everything from completing homework and studying for tests to managing long-term projects and balancing multiple responsibilitie

Key Focus Areas
