Medical school demands serious executive functioning — juggling anatomy, biochemistry, and clinical rotations means Kaitlyn has battle-tested systems for time management, task prioritization, and breaking large projects into manageable steps. She teaches students how to build their own planning routines, from using calendars effectively to chunking study sessions so material actually sticks. Rated 4.8 by students and families.

All students can learn, however, not all students learn the same way. The key to learning and the most important part of any teachers job is helping students understand how they learn best. That is what I do well.
Over two decades working with students on IEPs and 504 plans taught Dolmecia exactly where the hidden breakdowns happen — the kid who understands the math but can't start the problem set, or the one whose binder is a black hole of lost worksheets. Her special education certification and finance training give her both the behavioral framework and the structured, systems-oriented mindset to build concrete routines around task initiation, material tracking, and assignment planning tied to a student's actual schoolwork.
As a dedicated tutor with over 5 years of experience, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology from Tulane University, which informs my approach to understanding student needs. I specialize in subjects such as Algebra, Psychology, and American History, and I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships with my students, using tailored strategies that cater to their unique learning styles. I find great joy in helping students develop their executive functioning skills and confidence, enabling them to achieve academic success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational resources, which keeps my methods fresh and engaging.
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.
Candice's Fulbright teaching experience in Taiwan and her years as a classroom aide and afterschool mentor gave her constant practice recognizing when a student's real obstacle isn't the content but the inability to start, sequence, or sustain a task independently. She weaves executive functioning strategies — like breaking a writing assignment into discrete stages or building a nightly homework launch routine — directly into the English and literacy work she already does with students. That integrated approach means kids practice planning and self-monitoring on real schoolwork, not hypothetical scenarios.
I've helped several hundred students in a wide variety of subjects, from executive functioning to computer science to standardized testing. I also help students with general support in math and English. Most of my students are around 9-17, but I work well with students who are older and a little younger as well. I also work very well with students who have specific obstacles or requirements, such as neurodiversity support or schedules that change a lot. Most of my background is in computer science, from my college major to my experience hands-on over the past 10 years. Regardless of the subject, I believe every student's needs are unique and every student is able to achieve great things with the right preparation and support. My number one goal is to provide that whenever I can, both to the student and to their parents. I communicate with parents outside of sessions a lot to establish their expectations, better understand students, and recommend ways they can directly support their children in their journey as well.
Claire teaches concrete systems — color-coded planners, task-chunking methods, priority matrices — rather than vague advice about "staying organized." Her background across a wide range of academic subjects means she can tailor these executive functioning strategies to whatever coursework a student is actually struggling to manage, from essay deadlines to exam prep schedules.
Hello! My name is Sam Bicking. I am an alumni and student at The University of Pennsylvania studying Pre-health sciences before entering medical school. I have been tutoring for several years with students with disabilities (and amazing students without disabilities).
Planning a multi-step essay, breaking a semester-long project into weekly milestones, keeping track of deadlines across six classes — these are executive functioning challenges Gabby addresses directly. Her five-plus years as a tutor and writing coach have centered on building concrete systems for organization, time management, and task prioritization that students can actually maintain on their own.
I currently work for an afterschool enrichment program (Best Brains) tutoring elementary English and math, and I have 4+ years of experience as a private ESL tutor for both children and adults. I am working toward my Masters of Science in Secondary English Education and ESL at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative World Literature and Japanese, and from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master of Arts in Japanese Language and Literature. I began tutoring while I was in high school, assisting with algebra homework. In college, I volunteered as a kindergarten reading assistant through a program called Start Making a Reader Today. I later volunteered while in graduate school at a local high school tutoring students in beginner Japanese. I have also been employed by the University of Wisconsin as a Teaching Assistant, and taught in Religious Studies and East Asian Studies. In all cases, it has been a pleasure watching students progress in their academics and to see them grow as young scholars. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because of the feeling of connection that language can bring. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the smiling face of someone the moment that they finally "get" something they've been struggling with and watching their confidence boost. In my free time, I host a small book club, pen pal with friends around the world, and try my hand at new recipes.
Planning a multi-step assignment, managing time across subjects, keeping materials organized — these are skills most schools expect but rarely teach explicitly. Charles's counseling psychology training gives him concrete strategies for building these executive functioning habits, from using visual task breakdowns to teaching students how to self-monitor their own focus and prioritize effectively.
Hello! I am an Arizona State University graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Biological Science. My academic background is grounded in both technical problem-solving and a deep curiosity about how systems, whether digital or human, function. Outside the classroom, I've had the opportunity to work with students across a range of ages and abilities, from mentoring engineering and premed undergraduates at ASU to tutoring high schoolers in SAT/ACT prep, as well as K-12 students through Teach for America. I am comfortable with a range of subjects and am willing to work to meet your needs. Below are some of courses I have successfully tutored for in the past.

Planning a multi-step assignment, managing time across subjects, breaking a big project into smaller pieces — these are skills that don't come naturally to every student. Heather's clinical psychology training gives her a framework for teaching organizational strategies that actually stick, and she tailors each system to how a student's brain already works rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all planner approach.
Hi, I'm Nur! I specialize in SAT preparation, helping students build strong Reading and Writing and Math skills, master different question types, develop effective test-taking strategies, and feel confident on test day. I create personalized SAT lesson plans based on each student's strengths, areas for improvement, and learning style, breaking down challenging concepts into clear, manageable steps. In addition to SAT preparation, I work with elementary, middle school, and high school students across reading, writing, math, and science. I especially enjoy supporting students with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and dyslexia by using structured, evidence-based strategies that make learning more accessible and less overwhelming. I also incorporate essential skills such as organization, time management, study habits, and test-taking strategies to help students become more independent learners. My goal is not only to improve grades and test scores, but also to build confidence and

Frequently Asked Questions
Executive functioning refers to the mental processes that help us plan, organize, manage time, and complete tasks—skills that are essential for academic success and daily life. Students with strong executive functioning can break down assignments into manageable steps, stay organized, meet deadlines, and regulate their emotions during challenging work. For students in Jacksonville, developing these skills early makes a significant difference in classroom performance, homework completion, and long-term academic achievement.
Many students struggle with time management, difficulty starting or completing tasks, poor organization of materials and schedules, trouble breaking large projects into steps, and challenges with working memory and attention. Some students know what they need to do but have trouble initiating the task or staying focused until completion. Others struggle to estimate how long assignments will take or prioritize multiple responsibilities. Personalized instruction helps identify which specific areas need support and builds targeted strategies to address them.
In a classroom with an average student-teacher ratio of 18.2:1 in Jacksonville schools, teachers have limited time to work with individual students on organizational systems and planning strategies. Personalized instruction allows tutors to assess each student's unique challenges, teach customized organizational systems that match their learning style, and provide real-time feedback on assignments and projects. This one-on-one approach also creates space for students to practice new strategies with immediate support, building confidence and independence much faster than classroom instruction alone.
Students typically see improvements in homework completion rates, assignment submission on time, better grades through improved organization and planning, reduced stress and anxiety around schoolwork, and increased independence in managing their own schedules and tasks. Many students also report feeling more confident in tackling large projects and better able to handle multiple deadlines. Progress is usually visible within 4-6 weeks as new systems and habits take root.
Executive functioning skills develop gradually throughout childhood and adolescence, but targeted support can help at any age. Elementary students benefit from learning basic organizational systems and time management routines. Middle school is a critical transition point where students face increased independence and multiple classes, making executive functioning support especially valuable. High school students often need help managing complex schedules, long-term projects, and college preparation. Tutors work with students at all grade levels to build age-appropriate skills.
The first session focuses on understanding the student's specific challenges, learning style, and goals. Tutors typically ask about current organizational systems, what's working and what isn't, and what areas cause the most frustration. They may review how the student currently approaches homework, manages their schedule, or tackles projects. This assessment helps tutors create a personalized plan with concrete strategies and tools tailored to that student's needs, whether it's building a planner system, creating a task breakdown process, or developing focus techniques.
Tutors work with a variety of evidence-based strategies including time-blocking and scheduling techniques, task breakdown and project planning systems, organizational tools like planners and checklists, working memory supports, and focus techniques. Some students benefit from digital tools like apps and reminders, while others respond better to paper-based systems. Tutors teach students how to use these tools effectively and help them practice applying strategies to real assignments and projects. The goal is to build skills that transfer across all areas of school and life.
