HOW FAMILIES USE SUMMER COACHING:

Understanding what's actually getting in the way

Most students aren’t struggling because they “don’t care” — they’re struggling because something in their system isn’t working.

That’s why summer coaching is focused on building the right skills for each student to:

Get work done
Work more independently
Perform better on tests
Manage emotions along the way

We partner with students to identify what is getting in their way so they can manage any summer goals and are ready for next year.

WHAT WE WORK ON:

Have summer work that needs to get done?

Coaching provides structure, accountability, and strategies so students stay on track and actually get it done.

We focus on:

Creating a realistic plan
Breaking work into manageable steps
Checking in and adjusting as needed
Identifying what’s getting in the way

So work gets done, skills are built — and you’re not the only one managing it.

Is your student struggling with tests or studying?

For students whose test performance doesn’t reflect what they know—or who aren’t sure why studying isn’t working.

Coaching helps students look at the full picture: how they capture information, how they study, how they prepare, and how they perform during the test itself.

We focus on:

Identifying where the breakdown is — note-taking, studying, preparation, test-taking, and/or anxiety
Replacing passive studying with active strategies that actually improve retention
Building stronger test-taking habits — previewing the test, managing time, checking work, and avoiding careless mistakes
Managing pressure and reducing “worry brain” so students can think clearly and trust what they know

So students can perform with more confidence—not just study longer.

Want your student to start the school year organized and ready?

For students who need a reset before school starts.

Coaching helps set up systems before the first day — so everything is in place from the start.

We focus on:

Setting up calendars and schedules
Organizing physical and digital systems
Creating a clear plan for the first weeks of school
Tracking assignments, tests, and responsibilities

So the year starts smoothly instead of stressfully.

Want your student to be more independent?

For students who rely on reminders, avoidance, or last-minute work.

Often the issue isn’t that they “don’t care” or “just need a better planner.” It’s that something in their system isn’t working—and they may not understand why.

Coaching helps students understand how their brain works, what gets in their way, and how to build systems that work for them—not against them.

We focus on:

Understanding why starting feels hard
Identifying patterns behind procrastination and avoidance
Building routines and systems that fit the student
Managing time, distractions, and follow-through
Rebuilding confidence, ownership, and self-advocacy

So students rely less on reminders—and more on strategies they trust.

OUR COACHES / OUR APPROACH

Anyone can call themselves an Executive Function Coach—but not all coaching is the same.

At The StudyPro, coaching is never about judgment, “should haves,” or simply telling students to use a planner.

Our coaches are Master’s and Ph.D.-level educators—including special educators, school psychologists, and learning specialists—trained to recognize the executive function barriers behind procrastination, avoidance, overwhelm, and inconsistency. They help students understand how their brain works, what gets in their way, and what strategies actually work for them.

We use the same proven planning, prioritization, initiation, and time-management systems taught in our Study Skills and Strategies Course—while personalizing them to each student.

Because good strategies only work when they match the student.
