    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.

    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!)

  • 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.

    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.

What is Executive Function Coaching for K-12 Students?

Executive functions (EFs) are core cognitive skills that govern planning, working memory, self-regulation, impulse control, and problem-solving. These skills strongly predict academic and life success.

Approximately 6–7% of U.S. students experience executive dysfunction. Difficulties with focus and organization may also be linked to anxiety or depression , which is why our approach addresses both skill development and emotional awareness.

With constant digital distractions—Americans check phones over 350 times per day —students must learn how to manage attention intentionally . Our coaching builds sustainable focus strategies that reduce dependency on external controls.

How Executive Functioning and ADHD Affect Learning

Executive functioning skills—such as working memory, planning, and problem solving—are the “management system” of the brain. For many students with ADHD, activating these skills requires extra effort, which can lead to behaviors often cited as executive dysfunction examples, such as fidgeting, restlessness, or difficulty staying seated. This short video from the University of Central Florida illustrates the difference: although it looks like two different students (because of different t-shirts), it’s actually the same child. When watching an entertaining clip, he’s calm and still. But when he’s asked to use executive functions during a math lesson, his body becomes restless and fidgety. This striking contrast helps families see why children with ADHD may seem inattentive in demanding tasks, even though they can focus during preferred activities.

This contrast helps families see why children with ADHD may seem inattentive in demanding tasks, even though they can become deeply hyper focused during preferred activities. Our goal is to help students harness that intensity and redirect it toward their academic responsibilities.

For students with learning differences or ADHD, we also offer NYC Special Needs Tutoring.

TESTIMONIALS

My son got to a point in his writing where he just hit a wall with brainstorming. He needed some extra 1:1 time outside of school with someone who could handle the executive functions aspect, the anxiety piece, the extra time/silence my son sometimes needed, and the warmth and creativity that is his native space. Jake was beyond perfect. I just couldn’t have dreamt up a better fit. In addition, he documented his process, what was working with my son, so that I have a collection of emails to look back on when I need reminding about how to help my son when he’s feeling stuck – which is now very seldom. If I had five thumbs, they’d all be up. So I’ll just say, 5 stars! Thank you, Jakek and thank you, Themba Tutors. (By the way, this was affordable, to boot.)

 

-Micaela B.     

Khalilah has been a fantastic science and executive functioning tutor for my daughter. She was quickly able to assess the best and most effective methods for teaching. She is also high energy and extremely dedicated to making the most out of her sessions. Highly recommend!

 

 

-Meredith J.     

I was referred to Themba Tutors to help my daughter strengthen her executive functioning skills. Craig was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He provided us with a few different tutors to meet in order to find the right fit. We’ve been working with McEdwin “Mackie” he’s been wonderful. My daughter has worked with several tutors over the past 5 years and Mackie is the first tutor she happily meets with. This is a huge win!.

 

-Kristin S.     

 

Dr. Netta is a lovely, extremely reliable, professional, approachable, attentive, and very caring professional. Our daughter had different organizational needs than a typical high school student so Netta was open to communications with me as the three of us planned a course of action. The fact that Dr. Netta is also trained as a psychologist was extremely valuable. Our daughter always enjoyed her executive functioning sessions with Netta and looked forward to it weekly. We were very happy with Netta’s coaching services and highly recommend her!

 

-C.P., Mother     

At Themba Tutors, we take the time to help students understand their strengths and make measurable progress in areas where they need additional support. Many of the challenges families notice—such as difficulty with task initiation, weak planning habits, or becoming overwhelmed—are common executive dysfunction examples, especially for students with ADHD.

We offer personalized tools for each client to help them become more aware of their individual executive functioning profile as they work toward short-term goals. Improving these essential skills supports long-term academic planning, emotional regulation, and independence. Your executive function tutor will guide this process, helping students move from frustration to confidence and sustainable success.

Key Executive Function Skills We Develop in Students

At Themba Tutors, our executive function coaches work closely with students to strengthen the foundational skills required for academic achievement and independence. These skills are integrated across all programs we offer.

  • Time Management for Students: Students learn structured planning systems to manage assignments and deadlines. We teach practical tools like the Pomodoro Technique and use of an assignment calculator to break large tasks into manageable steps.
  • Organization Skills for Kids: We help students create sustainable organization system for backpacks, binders, and daily routines using strategies such as school day launchpads, backpack organization hacks, and effective school planner use.
  • Task Initiation Techniques & Overcoming Procrastination: Coaches help students move past avoidance using evidence-based habit strategies such as understanding procrastination and the two-minute rule.
  • Self-Regulation Skills & Impulse Control Strategies: Students learn how dopamine, motivation, and technology impact attention and behavior. We address common ADHD challenges such as emotional overload and emotionally dysregulated symptoms, while building routines that support calm decision-making and emotional control.
  • Working Memory Improvement & Cognitive Flexibility: We use targeted working memory strategies and tools such as mind mapping to strengthen retention and flexible thinking.
  • Problem-Solving Skills & Metacognition Coaching: Using the SOAR framework , students learn to plan, reflect, and adapt their learning strategies independently.
  • Improve Focus and Attention: Students learn the four types of attentional focus  and how attention can fluctuate. We help students understand when they are hyper focused on preferred tasks and how to transfer that focus to less motivating academic work using supportive tools such as ADHD apps and executive functioning apps.

Our Personalized Executive Function Coaching Approach with Academic Support

Deciding between a tutor vs executive functioning coach depends on whether the focus is on subject mastery or developing essential learning strategies. At Themba Tutors, we offer both.

We provide Executive Function Coaching with Academic Support for students who need help with executive function skills alongside academic subjects such as math, science, ELA, and standardized test preparation. This integrated model ensures that students are not only completing assignments, but also learning how to plan, prioritize, and work independently.

Our ADHD executive function coach and executive function tutor for neurodivergent students tailor coaching to each student’s self-regulation profile. For students who struggle with focus, we help build healthy routines and environmental supports. For students with stronger self-regulation, we guide them in using intentional digital breaks and flexible productivity strategies.

We understand the difference between an executive function coach and a therapist . While therapists focus on emotional processing and mental health, our coaches focus on building practical, transferable skills that support daily academic functioning. This work complements any therapeutic support your child may already be receiving.

For students who need learning differences support — including ADHD tutoring, autism spectrum academic support, dyscalculia tutoring, dysgraphia help, non-verbal learning disorder support, and 2e learner support — our coaches work with evidence-based strategies that build confidence, independence, and long-term academic resilience.

We also offer social activities for individuals with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. Learn how to empower neurodiverse learners in New York City through our programs and groups.

NEW SOCIAL SKILLS GROUP FOR TEENS

We teach students how to design environments for success, utilizing the 4 principles of behavior change for children and university students, and insights from atomic habits. Our academic support strategies seamlessly integrate these approaches with day-to-day school demands, preparing students for long-term success and helping them reach academic potential.
