Award-Winning Executive Functioning Tutors
serving Barnstable, MA

I have over 20 years of experience in the education field and specialize in ELA for all grade levels including AP/Honors, college, ESL/ELL, special education and test prep. I also enjoy additional subject areas: assisting students with college applications and essay writing/editing, general homework in all subjects, executive functioning and preparing students for entrance exams (private school, ISEE, TEAS, or ELA section of the PSAT/SAT), college applications including essays and college or scholarship interviews. I hold a BA, M.Ed. degrees, certifications in teaching, Academic Coaching, and Tutoring. In addition, I have extensive training on working with students on IEP's or other educational plans. I focus on building skills through customized sessions. Thank you for viewing my profile, I look forward to working with your student!

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.

Breaking large assignments into sequenced steps, building weekly planning routines, managing deadlines across multiple classes — Manuel tackles the organizational side of academics that often goes untaught. His structured approach to executive functioning gives students concrete systems they actually use, not just advice to "stay organized." Rated 5.0 by students.

Graduate training in school counseling means Katherine spends her days learning exactly how students get stuck — not on content, but on the invisible skills like task initiation, planning, and self-regulation that determine whether homework actually gets done. She connects those counseling frameworks to the real academic work students bring in, whether it's a stalled college essay or a psychology reading they keep putting off. Her background across subjects like writing, human development, and AP psychology gives her concrete material to anchor organizational strategies to.

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.

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.

Balancing a double major in psychology and biology while preparing for medical school forced Karim to build real systems for task prioritization, time blocking, and breaking long-term projects into manageable steps. He teaches those same strategies — planning backwards from deadlines, organizing materials, and self-monitoring progress — so students can manage their own workloads independently.

Planning, prioritizing, starting tasks, managing time — executive functioning skills don't come naturally to every student, and they're rarely taught explicitly in school. Hannah's Special Education program at Purdue trained her in scaffolding these skills through structured routines, visual organizers, and self-regulation strategies. She builds systems that students internalize gradually rather than depend on forever.

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.

Allison's Master's in Education from George Washington University centered on instructional design — figuring out why information doesn't stick and restructuring the process so it does, which is essentially what executive functioning coaching requires. She applies that design thinking to help a student reverse-engineer a stalled essay or a missed deadline, identifying whether the breakdown was in task initiation, time estimation, or material organization, then building a repeatable system around it. Her broad teaching range across writing, math, and test prep means those systems get tested against real coursework, not hypothetical scenarios.

Ten years ago, I started as an elementary substitute while attending Hanover College. As my interests in the education field changed and progressed, my philosophy stayed the same; education is something that can happen anywhere, not just in the traditional classroom. I went on to gain a Master's in School Librarianship & Facilitated Learning from Indiana University-Indianapolis. During this time I had started actually teaching, first with library sciences, elementary technology, elementary science, and tutoring. Over the past six years, I have tutored; homework help, organization, special education, exam reteaching, and mentoring for students from 3rd grade through adults taking professional licensing exams (ie. PRAXIS). While things have changed, my passion is still finding what a student needs for their best learning possible, and adapting content to work with them. My philosophy is simply that I think everyone can learn, sometimes we just have to look at the education differently.

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.

Tutoring across 46 subjects — from elementary math to organic chemistry to college essays — means Adel constantly sees which organizational habits transfer across disciplines and which ones students are missing. His biochemistry training at Georgia Tech required coordinating lab work, problem sets, and writing simultaneously, so he teaches students concrete strategies for prioritizing tasks, estimating how long assignments actually take, and building weekly workflows that prevent last-minute scrambles.
