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.

    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.

  • 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.

EXPERT EXECUTIVE FUNCTION COACHING FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN NYC

Supporting High School Students in NYC with Executive Function Challenges

Our NYC executive function coaching for high school students is designed to support both students and adults, including middle school students, college students, and young adults, across the New York area. High school is a pivotal time for academic performance, college success, and long-term career success, yet many students struggle with planning, organization, and follow-through.

At Themba Tutors, our coaching programs go beyond tutoring. We incorporate elements of therapy-informed strategies, mental health awareness, and structured interventions to help students overcome academic anxiety, emotional blockers, and challenges related to ADHD and other learning differences.

Many families benefit from a deeper assessment of executive function challenges to better understand how cognitive skills, metacognition, and daily routines impact performance.

If your student is in middle school or elementary school, we recommend exploring our broader executive function coaching options to find the right starting point.

ADHD, Assessment, and Executive Function in New York Students

High school coaching focuses on managing complex academic workloads, preparing for college expectations, and building independent systems for deadlines, studying, and long-term planning.

This level of coaching is more performance-driven than middle school support and more strategic than elementary-level coaching.

For many high schoolers in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and across New York, executive function challenges are closely tied to ADHD and related profiles. A thoughtful assessment helps identify gaps in study skills, planning, and self-regulation, allowing us to build a personalized treatment plan.

We often collaborate with families navigating school expectations, private therapy, or broader mental health programs, ensuring that coaching aligns with each student’s full support system.

Why Executive Function Skills Are Critical for High School Students

For high school students in New York City, executive function skills are more important than ever. These skills impact every aspect of their academic and personal lives, from organizing assignments and managing time effectively to controlling emotions during high-pressure situations.

Our coaching targets the core executive function skills that high schoolers need to succeed:

  • Time Management: High school students juggle homework, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and social obligations. Our coaching helps students organize their time, create actionable schedules, and stay on top of their commitments. We focus on prioritizing tasks and using strategies such as the Pomodoro Technique to boost productivity.
  • Organization: With more complex projects, research papers, and exams, organizational skills are critical. We help students develop sustainable systems for organizing notebooks, digital files, and schedules, ensuring they stay on track academically and avoid overwhelm. Families interested in strengthening daily structure can also explore practical strategies for organization skills for students that reinforce what students practice in coaching sessions.
  • Goal Setting & Planning: High school students need to plan for future success—whether it’s college admissions, standardized tests, or other personal milestones. We guide students in setting SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) that break down big objectives into achievable steps.
  • Self-Regulation & Stress Management: Balancing the demands of high school can be overwhelming. Our coaching teaches students how to manage academic stress, regulate their emotions, and reduce anxiety. These self-regulation strategies help students stay calm, focus on tasks, and approach challenges with resilience. Parents looking to strengthen follow-through at home may also find helpful guidance in these 3 keys to accountability in teens.
  • Focus & Attention: The digital world can make it difficult for high school students to maintain focus. We help students reduce distractions, build sustainable focus habits, and learn how to use tools that promote attention and productivity.
  • College Readiness: Preparing for college involves more than just academic skills. Our High School Executive Function Coaching in NYC helps students navigate the college application process, manage deadlines, and stay organized through every step, from writing application essays to scheduling interviews.

Many families begin coaching during grades 9–11 to build systems that support GPA stability, standardized testing, and college application readiness.

TESTIMONIALS

Real Success Stories: High School Student Testimonials in NYC

I’m so happy we were connected with Themba Tutors. Our high school daughter was struggling in a way very common to kids with ADHD. After an initial conversation to learn our needs, Themba put us in touch with a great tutor, Felicia, who has been teaching our daughter the executive and organizational skills she needs. Felicia’s been a crucial support, and we’re delighted she’s working with us.

 

-Mary Jean B.

I have currently secured two excellent Themba Tutors for my son, a junior in a NYC High School. My son really enjoys working with these tutors, Matt and Anthony. He finds their methods clear and inspiring. Matt works with my son on college entrance test preparation (ACT and SAT), and Anthony works with my son on written expression, executive functioning and attention skills.

 

-Kristina K.

Jacob is a great tutor who worked with my son over the course of two years providing much-needed guidance on his executive functioning and organizational skills and overcoming a variety of challenges posed by my son’s learning disabilities. His patience in learning about my son’s disabilities provided him with insight into developing the best strategies possible to overcome my son’s multifaceted obstacles. He built up a great rapport with my son and I would recommend him highly to other parents seeking specialized tutoring services.

 

-JB & AK     

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!
