Certified Executive Functioning Tutor
Dolmecia
BA Florida Southern College • AS Valencia College
4+ Years Tutoring

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.

Jennifer

Jennifer's M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction trained her to design structured learning sequences — a skill she now applies to teaching students how to plan multi-step projects, estimate time for assignments, and organize materials across classes.

Derek
PhD Walden University • MS Walden University
1+ Years Tutoring

Planning, prioritizing, managing time, and shifting between tasks — these executive functioning skills underpin academic success but rarely get taught explicitly. Derek tackles them as teachable skills, building concrete systems like task checklists, color-coded planners, and structured routines that students internalize over time. His doctorate focused on how curriculum design shapes learning behavior, which gives him a research-grounded toolkit for strengthening these cognitive habits.

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.

Monica
MS University of Pennsylvania
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Mary
MS University of Wisconsin - Madison
3+ Years Tutoring

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.

Kenneth
BA University of Pennsylvania

Kenneth's cognitive neuroscience degree means he understands the brain science behind why some students struggle to initiate tasks, regulate attention, or hold a plan in working memory — and that understanding shapes how he teaches these skills rather than just assigning them. He connects executive functioning strategies like sequencing and self-monitoring directly to the academic work students bring in, whether that's structuring a college essay or mapping out a study plan for chemistry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Executive functioning refers to the mental processes that help us plan, organize, manage time, and complete tasks—skills essential for academic success and daily life. Students with strong executive functioning can break down assignments into steps, meet deadlines, and stay focused on goals. Many students struggle with these skills, especially as coursework becomes more complex, and personalized instruction can help build these foundational abilities.

Students often struggle with time management, organization, task initiation, and working memory—difficulty starting assignments, losing track of materials, or forgetting multi-step directions. Others find it hard to prioritize competing demands or shift between tasks smoothly. These challenges can affect grades and confidence even when a student understands the actual subject material, making targeted support valuable.

In a classroom of 16-17 students per teacher (the Orlando average), teachers can't tailor strategies to each student's specific challenges. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction focuses entirely on your student's unique patterns—whether they need help with planning long-term projects, organizing materials, or managing distractions—and builds skills directly into their actual assignments and routines.

Students typically see improvements in assignment completion rates, deadline management, organization of materials and notes, and ability to break complex tasks into manageable steps. Many also report increased confidence and reduced anxiety around schoolwork. Progress is often visible within a few weeks as students apply new strategies to their current classes.

Executive functioning skills become increasingly critical in middle school (when independent work expectations rise) and high school (with longer projects, multiple classes, and college prep demands). However, students at any grade can benefit from building these skills earlier—elementary students develop foundational organization habits, while college-bound students refine advanced planning strategies.

The tutor will assess your student's current challenges through conversation and observation—looking at how they organize materials, approach assignments, and manage their time. They'll identify specific areas to focus on (like planning, task initiation, or working memory) and begin introducing practical strategies tailored to your student's learning style and actual schoolwork.

Look for tutors with experience in learning strategies, study skills coaching, or special education who understand how executive functioning develops and where breakdowns occur. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who have demonstrated success helping students build organizational and planning skills, and who can adapt strategies to fit your student's specific needs and school environment.

Absolutely—in fact, combining them is often most effective. A tutor can help your student apply executive functioning strategies directly to math homework, essays, or test prep, building skills in real-world contexts rather than in isolation. This approach helps students see how organization and planning improve their actual grades across subjects.
