    We had a very positive experience with Alissa as a tutor for our pod of 5th grade boys from January - June 2020.

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.

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

    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.

Executive Function Coaching for NYC College Students

Support for Academic Independence, Commuting, and College Success in New York City

College Executive Function Coach in NYC

Achieve Academic Success with Personalized Executive Function Coaching

College life in New York City often requires students to manage far more than academics alone. Many students balance long commutes, internships, part-time jobs, demanding course loads, and increasing independence. Our executive function coaching helps NYC college students build the systems needed to navigate these responsibilities successfully. We provide in-person coaching throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, meeting students where they study, live, and work.

Our work focuses on stabilizing academic performance for students attending universities throughout New York City, often through campus meetings, library work sessions, or structured coaching at home. With essential guidance students need, we help them become more effective students while strengthening their executive function skills.

In New York City, where many students balance demanding coursework, internships, commuting, and part-time work, executive function demands can quickly intensify. These increasing academic needs often impact motivation, focus, and consistency. For parents and students, understanding executive function provides clarity on why these challenges emerge—especially during the transition into the college experience, particularly for a college freshman navigating their first semester and preparing for adulthood.

Many students discover that the transition from high school to college requires a completely different level of independence. Without parents, teachers, and school staff providing daily structure, students often need new systems for managing schedules, coursework, deadlines, transportation, and personal responsibilities. In some cases, students experience anxiety, distractions, and difficulty managing personal responsibilities, which can interfere with their performance in classes and overall schoolwork. Strengthening emotional control and emotional skills becomes essential in managing stress and academic expectations.

Our personalized coaching focuses on the core aspects of executive functioning — time management, organization, goal-setting, prioritization, and emotional regulation — while building sustainable routines, study schedule systems, and daily habits that support academic independence and long-term life skills.

Executive Function Skills for Independent College Living

Executive function coaching provides measurable benefits that extend beyond academics and into long-term independence.

Students develop:

  • Stronger academic confidence and independence
  • Managing class schedules, commuting demands, internships, and personal responsibilities simultaneously
  • Better task initiation and completion of academic tasks
  • Enhanced critical thinking and problem-solving for complex coursework
  • Greater ability to manage stress through improved emotional control
  • Long-term life skills that support success in adulthood

 

These benefits help students navigate both academic and personal challenges more effectively.

College Executive Function Coaching to Strengthen Independence and Follow-Through

Our 1:1 college executive function coaching sessions are designed to meet the unique needs of each student. Whether you’re struggling with managing deadlines, staying organized, or navigating the increased independence that comes with college life, our executive function coaching helps students:

  • Develop time management skills to create realistic schedules.
  • Create organizational systems that enhance productivity and reduce stress.
  • Improve decision-making by building strategies to prioritize tasks effectively.
  • Overcome procrastination by breaking tasks into manageable steps and holding students accountable.
  • Integrate evidence-based tools, such as AI apps for ADHD, to streamline task management and boost productivity.

This coaching is appropriate for NYC college students with ADHD as well as students who simply need stronger structure, accountability, and systems for managing college life.

NYC College Executive Function Coach

Why NYC College Students Seek Executive Function Coaching

Students attending colleges throughout New York City often face challenges that extend beyond coursework. Common situations include:

  • Managing long subway or commuter rail schedules
  • Balancing internships with academic responsibilities
  • Navigating large university systems independently
  • Managing multiple syllabi across different professors
  • Living away from home for the first time
  • Adjusting to residence hall life
  • Coordinating classes across multiple campus buildings
  • Maintaining routines in an unstructured environment

Supporting Students at NYC Colleges and Universities

We offer in-person executive function coaching for college students throughout New York City, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Coaches regularly meet students at residence halls, apartments, libraries, study lounges, coffee shops, and campus spaces throughout New York City.

Unlike tutoring that targets individual assignments, our work builds repeatable executive systems that transfer across semesters, courses, and professors—so students can manage increasing academic complexity within demanding NYC university environments independently.

Our ADHD coaching program also helps students with college disability services and academic accommodations such as extended time on tests, note-taking assistance, and flexible deadlines.

We work with students to understand their rights and responsibilities, empowering them to advocate for support with professors and campus disability offices at NYC colleges and universities.

What to Expect: Building Skills, Goals, and Time Management

At Themba Tutors, our goal is to equip students with long-term strategies that support academic and personal growth.

  • Initial Consultation and Assessment

We begin with a consultation to understand the student’s academic needs, learning history, and current challenges.

  • Tailored Coaching Plan

A personalized coaching plan is developed to strengthen executive function skills, time management, and organizational strategies.

  • Hands-On Coaching and Skill Building

Students receive structured support in building study routines, reducing distractions, and improving follow-through.

  • Ongoing Support and Guidance

Coaches provide continued support and guidance through regular sessions, accountability systems, and progress monitoring.

TESTIMONIALS

Brian is a fantastic executive functioning coach. Super helpful, flexible with hours, and tailored the experience to our needs.

 

-Eric Fingerman     

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       

We are delighted by Chris’s work with M! He has done a great job of helping him focus and prioritize, and offering up strategies to cope with difficult/challenging academic situations. He is also a lovely guy. He and M have forged an authentic bond, and M actually enjoys their sessions. Big thumbs up!

 

-S & D    

At Themba Tutors, we take the time to help students/clients understand their strengths and progress in areas where they need to improve. We offer personalized tools for each of our clients to help them become more aware of their individual needs as they work towards short-term goals. Improving these skills will benefit our students’/clients’ long-term plans.

College Transition Coaching for Freshmen

The transition from high school to college is often when executive function challenges become most visible. Students who previously succeeded with parental oversight and structured school schedules may suddenly need to manage:

  • multiple syllabi
  • independent studying
  • self-advocacy
  • commuting
  • social demands
  • personal responsibilities

Coaching helps students establish systems early before academic difficulties escalate.

These tools help students manage tasks, set reminders, and streamline their schedules, allowing them to stay organized and on top of their work. We also introduce mindfulness techniques and behavior change strategies, such as those outlined in Atomic Habits, to foster long-term success.
