Empowering students through Executive Functioning Coaching
Serving all of Chicago and the suburbs
Executive Functioning skills need to be taught.
Many schools leave executive functioning coaching out of the curriculum, thinking these are skills students will just “pick up” naturally. Just like any other skill, most students need explicit instruction to learn skills like organization, time management, task prioritization, and work completion.
We know executive functioning skills can be taught, and that these are valuable skills that everyone needs to learn to achieve their goals in school and in life.
Here at Chicago Home Tutor, we don’t believe in teaching executive functioning skills in isolation. We’ll teach a new skill and then work with your student to practice it right away with their current work so that they see the application and importance right away!

Expertise
Executive Functioning coaching in Chicago can address many different needs!
Time Management
Students with executive functioning challenges may struggle with figuring out how long things will take and how to break up their study time efficiently.
Organization
Executive functioning coaching in Chicago addresses organizational challenges applying to all aspects of school: physical organization (backpacks and binders) and conceptual organization (outlines and class portals).
Prioritization
We all have to learn to “juggle” priorities. Your child has multiple classes with assignments due. Executive functioning coaching in Chicago can help them come up with systems and processes to figure out what to focus on and when.
Work Completion
We hear from parents all of the time that their student mastered the test material but is struggling due to missing assignments. Executive functioning coaching in Chicago helps students to complete AND turn in work.
Long-term Planning
Executive functioning coaches in Chicago help teach your child to break up large tasks into small, manageable subgoals. Having an achievable next step helps students to ditch procrastination.
Subject-specific coaching
Executive functioning skills are important across subject areas like in teaching a student to plan and organize writing assignments and to select the right process for a math word problem.
We provide executive functioning coaching wherever you need us whether that’s your home, private school, medical setting, local library or a park bench. We are your local executive functioning coaches in Chicago and throughout the suburbs.

Collaboration
We are strong believers in teamwork. Executive functioning coaching tends to “click” more when students can apply their newly learned skills directly to their classwork. That means we’d love to have access to their school portal, so we can practice with their current classwork! We also love to collaborate with school staff and any outside providers.
If you need an executive functioning coach, we’ve got you covered! Our services cover all of Chicago in person, and we serve the whole nation through 1:1 online tutoring.
