Are you a parent looking to support your child’s academic journey? Are you a college student or young professional seeking to enhance your organizational skills for academic and career success? You’re not alone. Studies have shown that difficulties with executive functions (EF)—the mental skills that help us manage tasks and regulate our behavior—affect people of all ages, from elementary students to young professionals.
Specifically, a notable percentage of individuals in each age group, including young professionals, report challenges that can be linked to executive function issues. Research indicates that approximately 80% of children with ADHD demonstrate a deficit in at least one executive function. In contrast, such deficits are observed in about 50% of typically developing (TD) children. Additionally, children with ADHD tend to exhibit a broader range of deficits across various executive functions compared to their TD counterparts.
Len Adler, M.D., a prominent figure in adult ADHD research and a psychiatry professor at New York University, asserts that a significant portion, estimated at 75% of adults with ADHD remain unaware of their condition. This widespread lack of awareness detrimentally impacts those individuals and their relationships with family and friends.
Organizational coaching provides tailored strategies to enhance organizational skills, time management, and task completion across all ages, from elementary students to young professionals. Organizational coaches are adept at addressing executive function issues, which are prevalent across various age groups, by imparting effective techniques for focusing at home, organizing backpacks, school binders, and school planners, and adopting productive habits. They underline the significance of a structured environment, like creating a school day launchpad and utilizing tools such as Fantastical for schedule management. Moreover, they share strategies to conquer procrastination, such as the two-minute rule, boosting working memory, completing homework on time, and setting up an environment for productivity and success.
Organizational coaching also fosters the development of gateway habits, ways to build good habits while breaking bad habits, understanding the 4 principles of behavior change, how mindfulness can enhance executive functions, and how to manage time blindness. Incorporating Carol Dweck’s principles of Fixed and Growth Mindsets, organizational coaching emphasizes that success is significantly influenced by how one perceives one’s abilities. By tackling how dopamine contributes to the difficulties in disconnecting ourselves from using technology and preparing students for academic and professional challenges, Executive Functioning Coaching equips individuals with the 13 executive function skills essential for success in both school and career.
TESTIMONIALS
Dusty has been fabulous—positive, supportive, and full of great ideas. My daughter really likes him and connects easily with him.
-Maggie
Working with Jordan was an extremely positive experience for our family. I contacted Thema Tutors with deep concerns about my son. This incredibly book-smart teen is an extremely disorganized person whose grades suffered due to a lack of organizational skills. My son was responsive to Jordan’s suggestions and methods of organization. They worked through using a planner, calendar, alarm clock, and other methods and systems to help plan for each week. Most importantly, Jordan was a voice of reason (someone other than the nagging mother) to instill the importance of organization and task initiation. Understanding why this was so important was a huge step in moving forward and seeing progress. After a few months of working together, Jordan and I agreed that my son was ready to work independently on his executive function skills. I also learned some helpful tools and tips, and we will continue monitoring the situation to see if we need Jordan’s assistance in the near future. We are grateful for the organizational support he provided us. Grades are now all up. I am grateful that my son has learned lifelong skills to set him up for lifelong success.

I’m so glad we were referred to Themba Tutors. After a great initial conversation to learn our needs, we were connected with an excellent tutor, Felicia, who is helping our high school daughter learn better organizational and executive skills. Highly recommended.
-Mary Jean Babic
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 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.
