Testimonials

Nick, Student for 13 months
"I recently downloaded this eBook for my two high-schoolers, and I have to say it was actually better than I thought it would be. The author provides practical tips and strategies for understanding EF Skills and understanding how I can help my two very different students be successful - on their terms. The content is well-organized, and we will continue to use it for the rest of the school year."
Sofia, Student for 5 months
"Ok to be honest I did NOT want to do this with my Mom. But we had a really good conversation about the things that I'm really strong in and the other places where I struggle. I didn't realize I was struggling but talking through it with the quizzes and examples make it so much more clear. And now I can do something about it!"

A word from the author

I've been the student who needed help and didn't know how to ask for it, the teacher wanting to make a difference, and the parent feeling helpless in supporting my child.

 These experiences shaped my mission to raise awareness and provide teaching and coaching on Executive Function Skills for students, parents, and teachers.

I created this guide to spark important conversations, enhance personal understanding, and offer immediate application—three steps that can positively impact any student's academic and personal growth. Teachers and parents benefit too!
