Executive Function Coaching

Summit’s 1:1 Executive Function Coaching helps students build essential skills like time management, organization, and focus. These abilities are key to academic success but don’t always come naturally. Our personalized coaching equips students with strategies to stay on top of assignments, reduce stress, and perform at their best.

“My husband and I want you to know how grateful we are for the extraordinary support and professionalism we've experienced since we started working with Summit last summer. Our son thinks the world of his tutor. He has been extremely helpful in easing our son's anxiety about taking standardized tests, and has equipped him with countless strategies to dissect any test he takes.”

“Our tutor connected with my daughter beautifully and kept her on track and learning. Even at late hours of the night. My daughter really felt good about her ability to learn.”

Julianne P., Parent

“Our tutor has been wonderful. She provided lots of incentive for my daughter to study hard – and Summit’s almost immediate feedback on the tests is a great help. For both of my daughters, the Summit tutors have proved to be mentors as well as instructors. It is a pleasure to work with your group.”
