    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care.

    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and provided significant guidance to support our daughter's speech development outside of our scheduled sessions. She established … More a great working relationship with her, and she will definitely be missed! Your business model is amazing and it was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie.

    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.
  • Avatar Gillian Davidoff ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I am going into my second year as a Themba tutor. I have met so many great individuals while working for this company. Craig and the rest of the Themba team do such an excellent job picking and choosing Themba tutors that suit each client's … More individual needs! I look forward to meeting new tutors and clients in the 2021-2022 school year!
  • Avatar carolina luttmann ★★★★★ 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. 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!) Themba Tutors. Thank you, C, K, and W!

  • Avatar Susan Wong ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Giulia Mercuri is a great Italian tutor! She was very responsive and accessible.

  • 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.

  • Avatar Fara Jones ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    Themba Tutors provided a leaning specialist that was a perfect fit for my daughter. I told them what we were looking for and they delivered. Our tutor is responsive and flexible and makes it easy for my daughter to reach out to her own … More her own, which gives her an added sense of responsibility over her learning. As a therapist myself, I now regularly recommend Themba to my patients. A much needed and well provided service to the community!!
  • Avatar Frances Simpson ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    The tutors at Themba are fantastic! Caitlyn McNeill helped our son academically, but also with getting organized in every subject, which he so desperately needed.

We're so happy to have been referred to them!

    Paul Smith at Themba has been an exceptional tutor for my son, both in terms of teaching the subject matter and teaching how best to approach the process of learning math and executing assignments. We feel very fortunate to be working with … More Paul.

    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. Edwouine just works her magic with him, he adores her and is so … More eager to follow her guidance. I have no doubt she will be a positive driving force in his academic future.

What Is Remote Executive Function Coaching?

remote-executive-function-coaching-k-12-nyc-1

Remote executive function coaching provides individualized, one-on-one support delivered entirely online. Sessions focus on building the skills students need to manage school demands independently—regardless of where they live.

Coaching addresses the process of learning, not just academic content. Students learn systems and strategies they can use across subjects, schools, and grade levels.

Executive Function Skills We Support

Remote executive function coaching helps students strengthen:

  • Time management and planning
  • Organization of materials and digital tools
  • Task initiation and follow-through
  • Sustained attention and focus
  • Emotional regulation and stress management
  • Self-monitoring and accountability
  • Independent problem-solving and self-advocacy

These skills are essential for academic success and become increasingly important as students move through middle school and high school.

WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT OUR EXECUTIVE FUNCTION COACHING

Dusty is a very caring, compassionate tutor. He provided great solutions and taught valuable strategies whenever Ren encountered writing and/or executive function issues. Dusty never pushed Ren to complete his tasks when he was overwhelmed, but knew exactly how to encourage him when needed. Thanks to Dusty’s expertise, Ren was able to turn things around quickly. He grew more confident, started to manage his tasks better, and is no longer experiencing difficulties completing his writing assignments. As parents, we appreciated Dusty providing us detailed updates after each session. We highly recommend Dusty.

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.

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.

How Remote Coaching Works

remote-executive-function-coaching-k-12-nyc-2

All sessions are conducted via secure video conferencing and are highly interactive. Coaches use shared tools, visual planning systems, and collaborative strategies to keep students engaged and accountable.

Our process includes:

  • Parent and student intake questionnaires
  • A complimentary executive function assessment
  • Personalized goal-setting using SMART goals
  • Careful coach matching based on experience and fit
  • Weekly coaching sessions with ongoing progress monitoring

Remote coaching is flexible, structured, and designed to integrate seamlessly into students’ school routines.

Support Across All Grade Levels (K–12)

While executive function skills are consistent across ages, the focus of coaching evolves as students grow.

  • Elementary School:
    Building foundational habits, routines, and parent-supported systems
  • Middle School:
    Managing multiple teachers, increased workload, and growing independence
  • High School:
    Advanced time management, long-term planning, testing demands, and college readiness skills

Remote coaching allows students to receive consistent support regardless of school transitions or geographic location.

Who We Commonly Support

We work with students from public, private, charter, and homeschool settings. Our coaches have extensive experience supporting learners with:

Our approach is strength-based, affirming, and focused on long-term skill development.

Whole-Child, Research-Based Approach

By collaborating with families and, when appropriate, educators, we support the whole child—helping students feel more confident, capable, and in control of their learning.

Rather than offering quick fixes, coaching is designed to help students internalize strategies they can use independently. Over time, students develop systems for managing tasks, time, and responsibilities that support lifelong learning, resilience, and independence—well beyond the classroom.

Truly Customized for Every Learner

No two students are alike. Coaching strategies are built around each learner’s strengths, challenges, interests, and motivation style. This personalized approach ensures that students stay engaged, feel understood, and make meaningful progress at a pace that works for them.
