Jamie's Master's in Special Education gave her direct training in breaking executive functioning into teachable skills — things like planning multi-step assignments, managing time with visual schedules, and self-monitoring progress without constant prompting. She builds these strategies into real schoolwork so students practice organization and task initiation where it actually matters, not in isolation.

I'm working towards my Bachelors/Masters in Chemical Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, with a special interest in math and physics! I believe that visual demonstrations alongside verbal explanations of material work best for strengthening a students ability to conceptualize material. I have experience tutoring both college and high school students, and I am particularly well-equipped to assist with math, physics, and SAT preparation.
I am a veteran college-level English instructor with more than 20 years teaching in person, hybrid, and online. My focuses are on expository writing, essay writing, research papers, and creative writing. With my background in linguistics and second-language acquisition, I can also provide understanding of how and why the English language works the way it does, both in terms of style and grammar. I believe in supporting people's learning from wherever they're starting and I will customize tutoring to meet your needs. Besides subject tutoring, I can provide support with executive functioning and study skills. Additionally, with a wide interest-base, I can help you with your writing in many disciplines, including APUSH, AP/IB Social Sciences, IB Extended Essay, CLEP, or College Admission letters.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Cognitive Neuroscience from Brown University and am currently completing a PhD in Psychology. My tutoring style is structured, supportive, and warm. I focus on breaking big goals into manageable steps, building realistic study routines, and helping students develop systems they can actually maintain. I emphasize executive function skills such as planning, time management, task initiation, and follow-through, while integrating mindfulness-based strategies to support focus, reduce anxiety, and improve confidence. Whether working with a younger student or an adult learner, my goal is to help students feel capable, organized, and increasingly independent in their learning.
Running a natural sciences department at a bilingual elementary school in Ecuador meant Joy wasn't just teaching content — she was building systems for planning, prioritization, and task completion across two languages and multiple grade levels. She applies that same structured approach to executive functioning skills like time management, organization, and breaking long-term assignments into manageable steps.
As a tutor for 20+ years, I bring ample experience and knowledge. I specialize in standardized testing (MCAT, SAT, ACT, GRE, & more), medical school and pre-med courses, and undergraduate STEM subjects. A former medical school student and Master of Public Health, I opted for what truly brings me joy: tutoring, teaching, and guiding students to lifelong academic success.
Planning, prioritizing, and self-monitoring don't come naturally to every student — they're skills that can be explicitly taught. Cristiana breaks executive functioning into concrete habits: using checklists to initiate tasks, time-blocking to manage sustained attention, and post-session reflections to build self-awareness about what strategies are working. Her own experience managing a demanding dual-major course load gives her practical techniques to share, not just theory.
Managing art projects from concept to finished piece — juggling sketches, revisions, material prep, and critique deadlines — forced Laura to develop the exact planning and sequencing skills that executive functioning coaching targets. She teaches students to build visual workflows and concrete routines for breaking down assignments, initiating tasks, and tracking deadlines across subjects, drawing on the same project-management instincts that drive her studio practice. Rated 4.9 by clients.
A PhD in philosophy trains you to hold complex arguments in your head, sequence multi-part proofs, and manage long-term research without external scaffolding — Christine now unpacks those same cognitive skills for students who struggle with planning, task initiation, and self-monitoring. Her breadth across math, writing, and business subjects means she can embed executive functioning strategies directly into whatever assignment a student is actually stuck on, whether it's a geometry problem set or a college essay draft.
Hello! I'm an educator, researcher, and lifelong lover of literature, language, and the written word. I received my Bachelor's in English and Africana Studies from Brown University, as well as a Master's in English and Women's Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Brandeis University. My academic and professional experiences have allowed me to develop a strong foundation in literary analysis, critical thinking, research, writing, and individualized instruction. I am particularly passionate about helping students become confident, thoughtful, and articulate readers/ writers.Throughout my academic career, I have worked with students across a range of ages and educational backgrounds. As a Graduate Research Assistant at Brandeis University and Learning Clinician at Lindamood-Bell Learning Center, I supported undergraduate-level academic work in courses focused on the humanities, developing my ability to engage students with analytical concepts and interdisciplinary approach.
I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with a Masters degree in Education and have been an Elementary and Middle School educator for over thirty years. I have worked with students in the inner city, suburbs, Appalachia, and Deep South. I love teaching and children, and have discovered my passion in tutoring students who are struggling in Reading and Math. I have taught children with learning disabilities to read, and coached students with dyscalculia in math and reading. I worked as a principal for the past eight years, so was working with students from Pre-K to 8th grade, coaching teachers, analyzing data, and tutoring individual students in math and reading. I have worked as a national park ranger in the past, so social studies and history are areas of strength. Students that I teach respond well to my teaching style and enjoy working with me. I believe that education is extremely important for children's futures and do everything that I can to help them be successful.
Breaking a semester's worth of assignments into weekly action plans, prioritizing tasks by deadline weight, and building consistent study routines — these are the executive functioning skills Luis teaches through hands-on practice rather than abstract advice. His experience mentoring students across math, science, and business means he adapts organizational strategies to whatever coursework a student is actually juggling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Executive functioning refers to the mental processes that help us plan, organize, manage time, focus attention, and regulate behavior—skills essential for academic success and daily life. Students with strong executive functioning can break down assignments into steps, meet deadlines, and stay organized. Many students in New Haven struggle with these skills, which can impact grades and confidence even when they understand the material itself.
Students often struggle with time management, procrastination, organization, task initiation, and working memory—difficulty holding and manipulating information while completing assignments. Many also find it hard to prioritize multiple assignments, break large projects into manageable steps, or transition between tasks. These challenges can affect performance across all subjects and grade levels, from elementary through high school.
In a classroom of 20+ students, teachers have limited time to address individual organizational and planning needs. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to assess your specific challenges, teach targeted strategies tailored to how you learn, and practice those skills with real assignments from your classes. This focused approach builds confidence and creates lasting habits you can apply across all subjects.
During an initial session, a tutor will discuss your current challenges with organization, time management, and task completion. They'll review how you currently approach homework and projects, identify specific pain points, and begin introducing practical strategies you can start using immediately. This foundation helps create a personalized plan for the sessions ahead.
Students typically see improvements in assignment completion rates, on-time submission of work, organization of materials and digital files, ability to break projects into steps, and reduced procrastination. Many also report better focus during study sessions and less stress around deadlines. Progress depends on consistent practice, but most students notice meaningful changes within 4-6 weeks of regular sessions.
Tutors teach evidence-based techniques like breaking tasks into smaller steps, using checklists and planning templates, time-blocking for assignments, creating organized systems for materials, and using reminders and tracking tools. They also help develop metacognitive skills—thinking about how you think—so you can recognize when you're getting stuck and apply strategies independently. Strategies are customized to your learning style and the specific demands of your classes.
Yes. Many students have the knowledge to succeed but lose points due to missed deadlines, incomplete work, careless errors, or disorganization. By developing stronger executive functioning skills, you'll submit work on time, follow assignment instructions more carefully, and study more effectively—all of which directly impact grades. The goal is to remove organizational barriers so your actual understanding shows up in your performance.
Executive functioning support helps students at any age, but it's particularly valuable during transitions—moving to middle school, high school, or college—when organizational demands increase significantly. Elementary students benefit from building foundational habits early, while middle and high school students often need help managing multiple classes and larger projects. Students with ADHD, learning differences, or anxiety also see significant benefits from personalized executive functioning instruction.
