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.

Five years working specifically with students with learning differences taught Sydney where the real sticking points are — the student who knows what the assignment says but can't figure out where to start, or the one who chronically underestimates how long a reading response will take. She ties executive functioning strategies like task breakdown and self-monitoring directly to the English and Spanish coursework she also tutors, so students practice these skills on actual assignments rather than in isolation.

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
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.
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. Rated 5.0 by clients.
I am persuasive and capable of developing rapport and trust, as well as experienced in influencing the attitudes and ideas of others.
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).
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 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.
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.
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.
My goal is to ensure every student I tutor understands math and builds the confidence to bring about fundamental changes about how they solve problems, even if they haven't seen it before.

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 everyday life. Students with strong executive functioning can break down assignments into steps, stay organized, manage distractions, and follow through on goals. Weak executive functioning often shows up as difficulty starting assignments, losing track of deadlines, or struggling to organize materials, which can impact grades even when a student understands the content.
Students across Fort Worth's 12 school districts often struggle with time management as workloads increase through middle and high school, difficulty organizing multiple assignments and deadlines, procrastination and task initiation, and managing distractions in busy classroom environments. With an average student-teacher ratio of 15:1 in Fort Worth schools, many students don't get individualized support to develop these critical skills, which can compound over time.
In a classroom setting, teachers focus on content delivery to many students at once, leaving limited time for individualized strategy coaching. Personalized tutoring allows tutors to assess your specific challenges—whether it's planning, organization, or follow-through—and teach strategies tailored to how you learn and work best. You'll practice these skills with immediate feedback and adjustments, building habits that transfer across all your classes and activities.
Your first session focuses on understanding your current strengths and challenges through conversation and observation. A tutor will ask about your biggest struggles—like managing homework, organizing materials, or planning long-term projects—and learn about your learning style and daily routine. From there, you'll develop a personalized plan to build specific skills, starting with one or two strategies you can practice right away.
Executive functioning becomes increasingly important as students progress through school. Middle school is a critical transition point where organizational demands jump significantly, making it an ideal time to build strong habits. High school students often benefit from support managing multiple classes, projects, and college prep, while elementary students can develop foundational skills like following multi-step directions and organizing their workspace.
Improvement shows up in concrete ways: completing assignments on time, keeping track of deadlines without reminders, organizing materials so you can find things quickly, and starting tasks without procrastination. Many students also notice improved grades as they submit work more consistently, better focus during study sessions, and reduced stress around schoolwork. Your tutor will help you set specific goals and track progress toward them throughout your sessions.
