Job Description

HomeworkCoach is seeking a patient and engaging Executive Function & Academic Coach for a 10th grade student in Ashland, MA. This student has ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and anxiety, which impact his ability to stay organized, manage workload, and engage with school—particularly in reading-heavy and critical thinking subjects such as English, History, and Spanish.

He is bright, kind, and fun to work with, but often becomes overwhelmed and mentally exhausted after school. He benefits from consistent redirection, encouragement, and structured support to help him stay on track.

The goal of this role is to build sustainable systems for organization, task initiation, and follow-through, while also supporting academic performance. Sessions may take place at home or shift to a quieter environment (such as a library) if needed for focus.

This is not traditional tutoring. This role centers on executive function coaching, accountability, and helping the student build confidence and independence over time.

Responsibilities

• Executive Function Coaching: Help the student plan, prioritize, and complete assignments
• Task Initiation & Follow-Through: Break down assignments into manageable steps and keep him moving forward
• Redirection & Support: Provide patient, consistent guidance to help manage focus and impulsivity
• Academic Support: Assist with reading comprehension, writing, and coursework in subjects like English, History, and Spanish
• Routine Building: Establish consistent study habits and organizational systems
• Environment Management: Adjust session structure or location (home vs. library) to support focus
• Communication: Provide brief updates to the family on progress and challenges

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree required
• Experience working with ADHD, anxiety, or executive function challenges strongly preferred
• Experience with high school students required
• Patient, calm, and encouraging personality
• Ability to redirect without frustration and build trust with teens
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Reliable transportation

What We Offer

• $50/hour pay
• Consistent weekly schedule
• Simple onboarding and minimal paperwork
• Bi-monthly pay via online time reporting
• Training and structured materials provided
• Supportive, easy-to-work-with team
