In the heart of the city that never sleeps, where every corner holds a new adventure and every moment is filled with excitement, managing your academic responsibilities can be daunting. Our tailored 1:1 NYC executive function coaching is designed to enhance your academic performance and overall well-being by focusing on what is executive functioning.
Estimates indicate that about 16% of college students in the United States have reported experiencing executive function issues. These problems can manifest as difficulties in planning, organization, time management, and controlling emotions.
Learn to differentiate between habits and routines and discover atomic habits that can transform your daily life. Our EF coaching teaches you to break bad habits and cultivate gateway habits that initiate broader changes. We integrate the 4 principles of behavior change into our coaching, helping you foster Carol Dweck’s Growth Mindset: How You Think Can Determine Your Success.
Addressing common pitfalls like time blindness and executive dysfunction, we offer strategies like 3 tips for brainstorming the right way and the best way to take notes. Our approach includes 10 tips to study smarter, leveraging tools like Fantastical to maintain deep work sessions that enhance your working memory and goal-setting abilities
Our NYC executive function coaching also emphasizes the importance of understanding dopamine and how it contributes to our difficulties disconnecting from technology. We explore how mindfulness can improve EF skills and teach how to let go of procrastination using the two-minute rule.
Moreover, understanding the pivotal role of an accountability partner and implementing non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) is your key to unlocking unparalleled personal growth and academic achievement. This is your chance to take control and make a real difference.

My first session went really well. I think Giulia has been a tremendous help. I have been making good progress with regard to my study habits and my executive functioning.
-C. B.
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
