Executive Function Skills

Academic Coaching That Goes Beyond Tutoring

Revolutionizing Academic Support: Our Executive Function-Informed Approach

At Frankenberger Associates, we’ve pioneered a transformative approach to academic tutoring that merges subject-specific expertise with critical executive function skill development. Our Tailored Academic Tutoring program is designed to address a common struggle for neurodivergent students: while they may understand the academic concepts, they need help applying them effectively, due to challenges with executive functioning. Whether seeking a math tutor, writing coach, or comprehensive academic support, our executive function-informed approach provides the tools for lasting educational success.

Customized Learning Plans

We begin with a MAPS™ Discovery Session to assess each student’s executive function skills, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. This forms the foundation for a personalized tutoring curriculum.

Executive Function Integration

Our tutors don’t just teach subjects; they weave executive function skills into every session. This includes strategies for organization, time management, task initiation, and emotional regulation – all crucial for academic success.

Comprehensive Subject Coverage

We offer expert tutoring across all academic subjects, including language arts, math, science, and history. Our approach ensures that students grasp the content and develop the skills to apply their knowledge effectively.

Targeted Strategy Instruction

We provide direct instruction in essential academic strategies—including written expression, reading comprehension, annotation, note-taking, test preparation, and math. These skills are taught explicitly and applied in real-time to help students become confident, independent learners.

Skill Building in Real-Time

We focus on practical, applicable skills that students can immediately use in their academic lives. From breaking down complex projects and managing daily homework to developing study skills and test taking strategies, our tutoring equips students with real-world tools for success.

Continuous Support and Adaptation

Regular check-ins with parents and students allow us to refine our approach continuously, ensuring that we meet evolving needs and celebrate every milestone.

An Inside Look at a Tutoring Session: Where Learning Meets Strategy

What can you expect when your child sits down for a tutoring session with Frankenberger Associates? Let's take a peek into a typical hour:

Check-In and Goal Setting

The session begins with a brief review of the past week’s progress and setting clear, achievable goals for the current session.

Targeted Academic Support

This is where the magic happens. In a coaching session, the tutor might guide the student through complex problems while teaching strategies for breaking down assignments. The tutor might focus on essay structure in a writing session while introducing tools for organizing thoughts and managing longer writing projects.

Executive Function Skill Building

The tutor introduces or reinforces specific executive function skills relevant to the day’s work. For instance, they might practice using a digital calendar to plan steps for a science project or work on techniques for maintaining focus during challenging reading assignments.

Recap and Planning

The session concludes with a summary of what was accomplished and a plan for applying the new skills before the next session.

With us, your child is not just another student; they are the next success story waiting to unfold.

A Legacy of Empowerment

Trusted by Genius People

Frankenberger Associates has had the privilege of helping thousands of families, schools, and students transform their learning experience.

What an absolute relief!! Since my son has worked with Katherine, he has grown in leaps and bounds. Katherine has also been a major support for me as well! He and Katherine have a really good rapport. He proclaimed 'She’s the one , mom, the one who knows how to help me.' That says it all!

Parent

The organized and thoughtful approach to Tailored Academic Tutoring through Executive Function Coaching at Frankenberger Associates has truly transformed my son’s academic performance. As a parent, I appreciate how they have built trust with me through open communication and with my son who feels supported and confident under their guidance.

Parent

With Katherine’s help and guidance, I have come leaps and bounds academically. Before I started meeting with Katherine, I never took notes in class, wrote my assignments in a planner, or studied for tests and quizzes properly. Over the course of two years, I have sharpened these three important skills and my improvement in grades is a testament to this. I owe all these academic improvements to Katherine’s skill as an executive functions coach.

Student

My child received a 5 on her AP Gov’t exam! She is beyond excited and so am I. It’s been a journey and you were instrumental in getting her through that class. Your services have been invaluable!

Parent of a High School Graduate

My experience with my coach and executive function coaching as a whole has been life changing. Coaching has altered various facets of my daily life, from my morning routine to strategies aiding productivity at school, and a much needed introduction to self-care practices like yoga and meditation. Further, my coach has opened my eyes to the world where negativity does not rule my life. I am now able to recognize my thoughts and actions and reframe them into a more positive outlook. With the guidance of my coach, I have been actively combatting my dependency on extra stimuli that my...

All seems to be progressing well, small changes leading to better overall functioning, less anxiety and more productivity are the goals being addressed. Looking forward to continued improvement.

Parent

It was really good. Katherine helped me out a lot with my work, study habits, organization, decoding and more. I’m going to try on my own for a little bit to see how far I can go on my own now that I’ve met with her many times and developed my skills more.

Parent

Thank you for this great update! We see a huge difference in our daughter’s confidence in approaching written assignments this year. We also see her eagerly asking for help from teachers or the math lab, something she was previously reluctant to do. Her class load and overall schedule are a lot of work but she seems confident that she has the strategies; some days she’s not sure she has enough hours. Thanks, Jennifer

Parent

Thank you so much for setting my husband up with such a fantastic coach! I have observed his organization, task initiation, and vulnerability increase exponentially. The classes have been so helpful, and he told me tonight that he will be signing up for more sessions. He is starting a new job and wants to make sure he does not fall into the same habits that have hindered his success before.

Spouse

One other amazing thing about this program is the close interaction I have with Annie. This way I can share my ongoing observations, so that my son’s sessions are truly individualized and based on his input, and also on observation. She has been for me a great source of education on my son’s condition and much needed support. Somehow, I feel I am doing a better mom job, certainly with less anxiety. She showed so much empathy, flexibility, made everything possible to meet our needs. I feel so grateful to have this wonderful support in our life. And I thank...
