Academic support designed for how the brain learns.
EF-Informed Tutoring
What Makes This Different?
Most tutoring focuses only on content.
Our tutors are trained in executive function, so students receive help with:
• Understanding the material
• Starting assignments
• Managing multi-step tasks
• Staying organized
• Building independence
Strategy and content are supported together.
Subjects We Support
• Math
• Science
• English and Writing
• Reading Support
• Dyslexia-Informed Reading Specialist
• SAT, ACT, and Advanced Coursework
Our reading specialist is trained to support students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences using structured literacy approaches.
Who This Is For
This may be a good fit if your student:
• Knows the material but struggles to complete work
• Avoids getting started
• Feels overwhelmed by multi-step tasks
• Has ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning differences
• Needs both content and strategy support
