Conquer Procrastination and Disorganization
Many bright students struggle to reach their full potential because, while they have the motivation, they lack the time management and organizational skills necessary to succeed.
Utilizing proven strategies and methods, this program will help students:
- Understand what factors are hindering their academic performance and develop personalized strategies to address them.
- Become successful at planning and completing assignments by prioritizing and breaking down tasks into manageable steps.
- Tackle time-management and procrastination by improving “time sense” and learning to just get started.
- Avoid distractions through mixing focused study time with short mental and physical breaks.
- Bolster studying and note taking strategies.
Our Process:
We conduct an in-depth intake process to understand the student’s needs, and to help identify their strengths and weaknesses. We then create a clear framework of the processes on which we will focus, clarifying skills and strategies that will be addressed. Using school assignments, we will practice each skill together and scaffold each student’s abilities so that they are able to learn strategies with the necessary support. We will also develop strategies for physical organization of materials and calendars. Tutors will use creative techniques to improve imperative skills like note taking and designing presentations to ensure that students are confident at organizing their thoughts in the most effective way possible.

ADHD Support
ADHD (attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder) can manifest in a number of ways, but typically impacts executive functioning abilities that are important for success, such as time management, organization, focus and motivation, and planning ahead. Working with an executive functioning tutor, students with ADHD will learn evidence-based strategies and skills to support their individual needs and executive functioning challenges. Tutors will help students to stay accountable and provide tools to keep students organized.
