Award-Winning Executive Functioning Tutors
serving Nashville, TN

Breaking a semester's worth of assignments into weekly action plans, prioritizing tasks by deadline weight, and building consistent study routines — these are the executive functioning skills Luis teaches through hands-on practice rather than abstract advice. His experience mentoring students across math, science, and business means he adapts organizational strategies to whatever coursework a student is actually juggling.

Planning a multi-step project or breaking a semester's worth of material into a weekly study schedule requires the same structured thinking Andrew used throughout his engineering and MBA programs. He teaches students concrete systems for prioritizing tasks, managing time, and organizing materials so that deadlines stop feeling like emergencies. Rated 4.8 by students and families.

Jamie's Master's in Special Education gave her direct training in breaking executive functioning into teachable skills — things like planning multi-step assignments, managing time with visual schedules, and self-monitoring progress without constant prompting. She builds these strategies into real schoolwork so students practice organization and task initiation where it actually matters, not in isolation.

Planning, prioritizing, managing time, and shifting between tasks — these executive functioning skills underpin academic success but rarely get taught explicitly. Derek tackles them as teachable skills, building concrete systems like task checklists, color-coded planners, and structured routines that students internalize over time. His doctorate focused on how curriculum design shapes learning behavior, which gives him a research-grounded toolkit for strengthening these cognitive habits.

As a dedicated tutor with a Master's degree in Forensic Psychology from George Washington University and a Bachelor's in Psychology with a Minor in Special Education from James Madison University, I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment for my students. With over 2 years of experience in special education, I utilize a personalized approach that focuses on each student's unique strengths and challenges. My teaching philosophy centers on creating engaging and interactive lessons that promote critical thinking and confidence. I am motivated by the opportunity to help students achieve their academic goals and develop a love for learning. I have a passion for the language arts and love reading and writing while also valuing math and science. In my free time, I enjoy playing and watching sports, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

Balancing a double major in psychology and biology while preparing for medical school forced Karim to build real systems for task prioritization, time blocking, and breaking long-term projects into manageable steps. He teaches those same strategies — planning backwards from deadlines, organizing materials, and self-monitoring progress — so students can manage their own workloads independently.

As a dedicated tutor with over 5 years of experience, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology from Tulane University, which informs my approach to understanding student needs. I specialize in subjects such as Algebra, Psychology, and American History, and I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships with my students, using tailored strategies that cater to their unique learning styles. I find great joy in helping students develop their executive functioning skills and confidence, enabling them to achieve academic success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational resources, which keeps my methods fresh and engaging.

Hello! My name is Sam Bicking. I am an alumni and student at The University of Pennsylvania studying Pre-health sciences before entering medical school. I have been tutoring for several years with students with disabilities (and amazing students without disabilities).

A PhD in philosophy trains you to hold complex arguments in your head, sequence multi-part proofs, and manage long-term research without external scaffolding — Christine now unpacks those same cognitive skills for students who struggle with planning, task initiation, and self-monitoring. Her breadth across math, writing, and business subjects means she can embed executive functioning strategies directly into whatever assignment a student is actually stuck on, whether it's a geometry problem set or a college essay draft.

Kenneth's cognitive neuroscience degree means he understands the brain science behind why some students struggle to initiate tasks, regulate attention, or hold a plan in working memory — and that understanding shapes how he teaches these skills rather than just assigning them. He connects executive functioning strategies like sequencing and self-monitoring directly to the academic work students bring in, whether that's structuring a college essay or mapping out a study plan for chemistry.

Planning, prioritizing, starting tasks, managing time — executive functioning skills don't come naturally to every student, and they're rarely taught explicitly in school. Hannah's Special Education program at Purdue trained her in scaffolding these skills through structured routines, visual organizers, and self-regulation strategies. She builds systems that students internalize gradually rather than depend on forever.

Claire teaches concrete systems — color-coded planners, task-chunking methods, priority matrices — rather than vague advice about "staying organized." Her background across a wide range of academic subjects means she can tailor these executive functioning strategies to whatever coursework a student is actually struggling to manage, from essay deadlines to exam prep schedules.
