Why Executive Functioning Coaching Might Be Exactly What Your Student Needs

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Executive Functioning Coaching program! While we’ve always integrated executive functioning strategies into our content tutoring, this marks the first time we’re offering a focused and formal approach to helping students master these essential skills. Whether families opt for hourly coaching or our comprehensive 5-hour course, this program is designed to give students the tools they need to take control of their daily habits and work toward their goals.

What Are Executive Functioning Skills?

Executive functioning skills are the foundation for success in school, work, and life. These skills include:

• Planning and Prioritization: Knowing how to break tasks into manageable steps and decide what’s most important.

• Organization: Keeping materials, schedules, and to-do lists in order.

• Time Management: Understanding how to allocate time effectively.

• Focus and Attention: Staying engaged with tasks, even when distractions arise.

• Self-Motivation: Setting goals and following through, even when the work feels tough.

At GOAT Tutors, we understand that these skills don’t come naturally to everyone—and that’s okay! Our coaching program is here to help students build these skills and, more importantly, apply them in their daily lives.
