Rivers School Tutoring & Test Prep – Weston MA

The Rivers School of Weston Parent Testimonial

“My son made high honors for the first time! He has been at the Rivers School for over 3 years and in the Weston Public Schools before that. During his entire schooling he always struggled. He battles with executive function which has held him down since he started school. Before we met you, he was turning in around half of his homework assignments and many of them late. Now all of the homework is handed in on time and receiving full credit. You taught him organization and study skills that helped him cope with his executive function. My son earned high honors at Rivers in just a matter of 3 months time. We are thrilled! Thanks Y3K Tutor In Your Home.”

Executive Function Tutor

By

D. H. from Weston, MA asks, “What is executive function?”

This is a common question that we get asked a lot. As a child’s brain matures, they are able to perform higher level tasks. These high level tasks are referred to as executive function. Think of executive function as the role of a Chief Executive Officer in a company. She or he must analyze what the company needs to have done, develop a plan, identify the order these tasks must be done, make mid-course corrections as needed, and complete the job by the deadline. Someone with executive function problems may have difficulty doing any of the following:
Analyze a task
Plan how to address the task
Organize the steps needed to carry out the task
Develop timelines for completing the task
Adjust or shift these plans as needed
Compete the task in a timely way
Executive function issues in school can be devastating. If your child starts long term assignments at the last minute, loses papers, has loose papers everywhere, forgets to do homework, forgets to hand in completed homework, has difficulty with math word problems, has trouble starting and organizing English writing assignments, or studies for tests at the last minute then there may be executive function issues.

Y3K Tutor In Your Home helps many students with executive function learn how to become successful and attain high grades. Contact us if we can be of any assistance.

Organization: Saving Old Papers

By

Designate a safe place in the house to store papers that are not currently needed at school anymore. They may be useful in the future. The papers could be used to study for a test later in the year. Sometimes a teacher may make a mistake in their gradebook and mark that an assignment wasn’t turned in when it really was. By saving these papers, your student can then prove they actually did do the work.

Organization: Miscellaneous Folder

By

When creating an organizational system, never have a “miscellaneous” folder. Most kids that do have a “miscellaneous” folder end up having random papers in there. Then the student doesn’t know what is in there later because it is unorganized. Each sheet of paper should have its own place to go.
