    We had a very positive experience with Alissa as a tutor for our pod of 5th grade boys from January - June 2020. She cared a lot about the boys and worked hard to create meaningful activities for them. The pod experience was invaluable … More for all of our families during a difficult year and we were so grateful to have found this partnership! We also want to appreciate Craig for helping to match us with a tutor on very short notice after we had cycled through a few folks who were not able to see the commitment through. Thanks for sticking with us!
  • Avatar S CL ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Dusty was the exact person we needed to help our child finish out the school year. So grateful to him for the way he steadily encouraged her and helped her stay on track and organized. He is flexible, responsive to our needs/schedule as … More a family, and a delight to be with. We are also thankful that Craig at Themba Tutors really "gets it" and partnered us with such a wonderful tutor who was a great fit for our girl.
  • Avatar Nicole May ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    My child worked with Gillian D virtually for math enrichment. She is an excellent teacher. She took time to understand my child's specific learning style and provided tools that would be engaging. She was kind and empathetic- really … More made it her goal to connect with my child and build trust and rapport. My child started the school year with confidence and without the typically "brain-drain" that occurs over the summer, thanks to Gillian.

I look forward to meeting new tutors and clients in the 2021-2022 school year!
  • Avatar carolina luttmann ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Our son started in a new high school, 100% remote, and was really struggling with Latin and Physics. I found Themba Tudors online and had an initial call with Craig, who was very knowledgeable, responsive, and found 2 amazing tutors for … More us. Both the Latin and the physics tutors were fantastic, connected with my son really well and helped him go from 'failing' grade to 'honors'! I will for sure continue using (and recommending!) Themba Tutors. Thank you, C, K, and W!

    Giulia Mercuri is a great Italian tutor! She was very responsive and accessible.

  • Avatar Christine Gennetti ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    As an adult student diagnosed with a learning disability during grad school, I knew I needed help dealing with my Master's program's demanding workload. I was seriously considering dropping out when I was referred to Themba Tutors. … More I was paired up with a wonderful tutor, Julie, who was a total lifesaver. I learned many techniques that I can utilize in the future as I embark on the next phase of my career.
    I can wholeheartedly say after working with Themba for two years that I would not have finished my program without this organization. And I am so thankful I selected them.
  • Avatar Fabiola FITZPATRICK ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were introduced to a wonderful tutor: Mcedwyn. He and our son, a freshman in college, worked well together. As a result, our son’s grades significantly improved. The tutor taught our son subject content and various methods to effectively … More study for quizzes and exams. Our son was also taught time management and organization. My son’s experience with the tutor made the first year of college a less intimidating experience.
  • Avatar Jude Eugene ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We have been with our tutor, Cailin Schiller, for two years, from 5th - 7th grade. She started as an executive functioning tutor with my daughter. From the start, she demonstrated a depth of expertise and a selective use of techniques skillfully … More adapted to my daughter’s ADHD and Math disability. Cailin made Math accessible and understandable to her in a way that even her teachers had not been able to do. She differentiated reading, writing and math tasks and assignments to tailor them to my daughter’s unique learning differences. Not only did it have an effect on her grades and her work efficiency, but she finally could do her work with less anxiety. Even my daughter’s teachers used Cailin’s guidance to modify their work with her. But most importantly, she became my daughter’s favorite resource. I can’t say how invaluable Cailin has been to my daughter’s progress and well-being. I’d recommend her a million times over. She is a gem.

    Themba Tutors provided a leaning specialist that was a perfect fit for my daughter. I told them what we were looking for and they delivered. Our tutor is responsive and flexible and makes it easy for my daughter to reach out to her own … More her own, which gives her an added sense of responsibility over her learning. As a therapist myself, I now regularly recommend Themba to my patients. A much needed and well provided service to the community!!

    Paul Smith at Themba has been an exceptional tutor for my son, both in terms of teaching the subject matter and teaching how best to approach the process of learning math and executing assignments. We feel very fortunate to be working with … More Paul.
  • Avatar Monica Alzate ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    We were very lucky to have found Edwouine Swift, my son's therapist through Themba Tutors. Thomas is 12 years old, and it is extremely difficult to get him to write. Edwouine just works her magic with him, he adores her and is so … More eager to follow her guidance. I have no doubt she will be a positive driving force in his academic future.

ADHD & EXECUTIVE FUNCTION COACHING FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS IN NYC

ADHD and EF College Coaches in NYC

We Travel to Your NYC Home | Top At-Home 1:1 ADHD and Executive Function Coaches for College Students | Free Consultations and Meet-and-Greets With Our Staff

College students across NYC often struggle when the familiar structure of high school disappears. For students with ADHD or weak Executive Function skills, the sudden freedom of college life becomes overwhelming. Our coaching helps students build independence, organization, and strong academic habits so they can succeed in the demanding environment of New York City and the surrounding metro region. We serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Bronx, Long Island (including the Hamptons), Westchester, New Jersey, and Connecticut with both in-home and online support.

Why College Students With ADHD Struggle

Students with ADHD frequently experience trouble maintaining routines, organizing materials, and keeping track of due dates. College magnifies these difficulties because professors expect students to manage their own time without reminders. Many students feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or ashamed when they try to stay on top of their workload but cannot create sustainable systems. They may experience late-night cramming, missed deadlines, and emotional burnout, even when they genuinely want to succeed. These challenges are not a reflection of effort or intelligence—they are symptoms of Executive Function gaps that can be strengthened with targeted support.

Common struggles include:

  • Difficulty planning ahead
  • Chronic procrastination
  • Disorganized dorm rooms or digital spaces

These patterns often escalate without intervention, making early support essential.

Understanding Executive Function and Its Impact on Academic Success

Executive Function refers to the mental processes that allow individuals to organize, plan, prioritize, stay focused, regulate emotions, and follow through on tasks. These skills are essential for college-level independence and academic performance. When students have difficulty with Executive Function, they may feel capable mentally but unable to perform at a level that reflects their true potential. Strengthening EF skills allows students to navigate their coursework more confidently, manage their responsibilities more effectively, and feel more in control of their academic experience. Through targeted coaching, students learn practical strategies to overcome EF barriers that interfere with their performance.

How Executive Function Coaching Helps Students Grow

ADHD and EF College Coaches in NYC

Executive Function coaching offers personalized structure and accountability that strengthens a student’s ability to manage their responsibilities. Coaches guide students through weekly planning sessions, organize digital and physical spaces, and create predictable routines that make academic life easier to navigate. Over time, students learn how to prepare for exams earlier, stay consistent with assignments, and communicate proactively with professors. Many students report feeling more capable, confident, and steady once they have tools that genuinely work for their learning style.

Students typically experience improvements in:

  • Time awareness and scheduling
  • Study habits and daily routines

These gains make college more manageable and less emotionally draining.

Signs a Student May Need Support

Families often seek coaching after noticing specific patterns of struggle. Students may appear capable yet continually fall behind in ways that create stress for everyone involved. Common indicators include inconsistent attendance, missed deadlines, emotional shutdown during stressful weeks, avoidance of communicating with professors, and difficulty balancing academic, social, and personal responsibilities. When these patterns persist, coaching can stop the cycle of overwhelm and help students regain control of their academic life.

Why Families Across NYC Choose Themba Tutors

Families throughout New York City and the surrounding metro area choose Themba Tutors because our approach delivers real, measurable improvements that help college students gain independence and stability. Below are the core reasons parents consistently trust our program and continue recommending us to other families.

1. Highly Qualified Coaches With Advanced Degrees

Our coaches are specialists—not general tutors. They hold master’s degrees, doctorates, and extensive training in ADHD, Executive Function, and learning science. This level of expertise ensures students receive targeted support backed by research and real-world experience

2. A Coaching Model Built for NYC’s Academic Pressure

NYC college environments move fast and demand high-level organization. Our coaches understand the expectations at competitive schools like NYU, Columbia, Fordham, Pace, and Baruch. They help students navigate demanding workloads with structure and confidence.

3. Personalized, One-on-One Coaching Tailored to Each Student

We never use generic plans. Every student receives individualized strategies based on their learning style, personality, strengths, and academic challenges. Whether a student needs help with planning, motivation, emotional regulation, or communication, we customize the approach.

4. In-Home Support That Addresses Real Environments

Many EF challenges begin in the student’s living space—digital clutter, crowded dorm rooms, lack of routines, and workspace chaos. By working directly in their real environment, coaches can implement systems that immediately improve focus, organization, and follow-through.

5. Online Coaching Designed for Flexibility and Accountability:

For students with busy schedules or those outside NYC, online coaching offers structure with full accountability. Through video sessions, shared calendars, and digital organization tools, students stay on track no matter where they study.

6. Comprehensive Support That Complements Therapy and Tutoring:

Therapy helps students understand their emotions. Tutoring helps with subject content. Executive Function coaching fills the missing link: daily management and follow-through. We bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it consistently.

7. Clear Communication and Consistent Parent Updates:

College students need independence, but parents also deserve clarity. We provide respectful, structured updates so families know how progress is unfolding—without having to manage day-to-day academic responsibilities themselves.

Families choose Themba Tutors because our coaching doesn’t just improve grades—it strengthens independence, confidence, resilience, and long-term academic success. It’s support that students feel immediately and carry with them far beyond college.

What Makes Our Coaching Model Highly Effective

Our coaching is effective because it focuses on real-life, real-time support. We help students organize their living spaces, manage digital platforms like Canvas or Blackboard, and break down complex assignments into manageable steps. Sessions are focused, practical, and tailored to each student’s goals, challenges, and personal routines. Coaches also help students learn emotional regulation strategies that reduce academic stress and promote resilience. This combination of structure, academic strategy, and emotional support enables lasting transformation.

How Our Coaching Process Works

Our process begins with a free consultation to understand the student’s needs, academic history, and personal goals. We then match the student with a coach whose background and coaching style align with their learning profile. Weekly sessions take place in-home or online, depending on preference and location. Between sessions, students receive check-ins and guidance to maintain accountability and momentum. Parents receive periodic updates, which helps them remain informed without needing to manage daily academic tasks themselves.

Skills Students Develop Through Coaching

Coaching equips students with essential life and academic skills. They learn how to create functional schedules, maintain organized workspaces, and manage their time more effectively. Students also develop stronger communication habits, learning how to approach professors, participate in office hours, and request accommodations when necessary. Emotional regulation is another key component; students gain tools to manage stress, stay grounded during exams, and recover quickly from setbacks. These skills serve them throughout college and into professional life.

ADHD and EF College Coaches in NYC

The Long-Term Value of Executive Function Coaching

Executive Function coaching is a powerful investment in a student’s academic and personal future. By strengthening core skills such as planning, organization, emotional regulation, and task follow-through, students become more confident and self-reliant. This support helps prevent academic setbacks, reduces stress, and encourages students to take ownership of their responsibilities. Over time, these skills extend beyond college into internships, careers, and adult life. Families gain peace of mind knowing their student is building a foundation for long-term success.

Take the First Step Toward Greater Confidence and Independence

Your student does not have to face these challenges alone. With the right support, they can learn to manage their responsibilities, stay organized, communicate effectively, and feel more confident in their ability to succeed. Themba Tutors offers the structure and guidance needed to help your student build stronger habits, reduce stress, and thrive in college and beyond.
