Executive Function Coaching

Summit’s 1:1 Executive Function Coaching helps students build essential skills like time management, organization, and focus. These abilities are key to academic success but don’t always come naturally. Our personalized coaching equips students with strategies to stay on top of assignments, reduce stress, and perform at their best.
