Executive Function Tutor

About Executive Function Tutors

Executive Function Tutors empowers neurodivergent students in grades 4 through college to build the executive function and academic skills they need to thrive. Many of our students struggle with organization, planning, procrastination, and focus which are essential skills for long-term independence and confidence.

We provide personalized 1:1 online executive function coaching combined with academic tutoring. Our work helps students not only complete assignments but also learn how to manage their time, prioritize tasks, advocate for themselves, and develop systems that work with their brain.

Our team brings deep teaching experience and specializes in meeting students where they are through a strengths-based, compassionate, and evidence-informed approach. Beyond academics, we help students build lifelong tools that reduce stress at home, increase self-confidence, and support long-term independence.

We are a mission-driven and growing organization. As our partnerships with families and schools expand, we are building a team of EF Tutors who want to grow with us. Team members join us at an exciting time where our marketing and family success systems are gaining strong traction, allowing tutors to focus on doing what they do best: supporting students.

We believe strongly in supporting the personal and professional growth of our tutors through collaboration, shared resources, and ongoing learning.

About the role

As an Executive Function Tutor, you’ll do more than help students finish homework. You’ll coach them in building independence, confidence, and lifelong learning skills. You’ll guide students through planning, prioritizing, and managing their workload while addressing academic gaps with targeted support. When helpful, you’ll also use digital and AI tools to make learning more engaging and accessible.

Strong communication is central to this role. You’ll send thoughtful post-session notes, collaborate with parents through Family Team Meetings, and partner with schools when needed to align on goals. Our tutors are trusted partners to both students and families, creating a supportive environment where neurodivergent learners feel understood and capable.

Lastly, the work is relational and impact-driven: you’ll celebrate small wins, adapt strategies to each student’s unique strengths, and ultimately help families experience more peace at home as their child grows in resilience and independence.
