Y3K Tutor In Your Home has been working with us going on six months now — and we are definitely seeing a difference in our son’s organizational skills, motivation and ability to work independently. Our tutor is calm and non-judgmental. We would recommend Y3K Tutor In Your Home to any parent seeking to improve and enhance their child’s learning experience.

Sometimes students with executive function issues respond well to visual cues. Use images rather than words. Pictures and colors work great.

Executive function students can benefit when you say things more than once if needed. Be sure to simplify and slow down if there are processing issues.

Executive function students can be overwhelmed with multi-step directions. Be specific with directions and in as few words as possible.

The Y3K Tutor In Your Home owner has worked with my high school student for the past two years, helping with executive function, study skills, organization, time management, and homework coaching. I am so grateful for his ability to act as coach, cheerleader and drill sergeant, often all at once. He enters our home with great energy no matter how late it is or how many students he may already have seen, and is instantly asking my student about last week’s test or homework assignment. He remembers the details of my student’s assignments – often better than the student does! The tutor presses gently but persistently until the results or outcomes are revealed. He has helped our student understand the importance of taking homework seriously and keeping up with it. He has contributed greatly to our student’s ability to track the volume of work and plan ahead for the coming week. This tutor is able to hold our student accountable and encourage the best effort in a way we, the parents, cannot do without a huge fight. We’re really grateful for his work and highly recommend him without reservations.

Make “To Do” lists. Students with executive function can use these lists to stay on task by focusing on what they have remaining to do and what has already been completed.

Maintaining schedules usually helps students with executive functioning issues. These include separate daily schedules, weekly schedules and monthly schedules.

Organize homework supplies and have them in an easy to access location. A shelf, box or cabinet works well.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
