What Is Executive Function Coaching?
Executive function coaching helps students strengthen the mental skills that power learning - like planning, organization, time management, and emotional regulation. These are the “invisible skills” behind academic success, and when they’re not working smoothly, even bright students can feel overwhelmed or stuck.

The Results: Real Parent Feedback
“Our high schooler is smart but scattered. She’d start assignments at midnight because she forgot about them, or lose track of where she saved drafts. Her Lit-Lab executive function coach helped plan her week and clean up her digital life. Now she actually knows when things are due and starts them early. Her grades jumped because she has the skills to keep up.”
— Ming Y., parent of an 11th grader
“Before Lit-Lab, I felt like I was running a full-time reminder service and homework always ended up in tears. Now she does her nightly ‘quick-check’, keeps her stuff organized (!!!!), and checks in with her Lit-Lab coach about her goals each week. I’m not micromanaging anymore!!!”
— Misha, parent of a 6th grader
“My son has ADHD and doesn’t need a tutor, he needs structure. He had total time blindness. His executive functioning coach taught him routines, timers, and little tricks for planning that actually work for his brain operates. He’s finishing homework now on time and without meltdowns and even remembers his materials. Huge difference in our house.”
