Executive Functioning

At ALB Tutoring, executive functioning is the foundation of our collaborations with students.

We support students in gaining awareness of and improving their self-management skills. Students learn how to become confident, independent learners.

Executive functioning refers to the set of mental (neurological and cognitive) processes that support the management of oneself and of one's resources in order to achieve a goal.

ORGANIZATION

STUDY SKILLS

SELF-REGULATION

Learning these skills as students is imperative to navigating the challenges of adolescence, college, and adult life. The more they are implemented and practiced, they more these skills are effortlessly accessible when life’s distractions constantly vie for our attention.

Students and families are often introduced to executive functioning following a neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation. Interpreting the complex results and creating and executing a game plan can be overwhelming. ALB Tutoring’s executive functioning specialists guide families in interpreting results, setting strategies, and establishing attainable, realistic goals, all in pursuit of improving student functioning and confidence while achieving objectives.

What students & parents say

  • "Alessandra is a smart and dedicated professional who works tirelessly to understand the individual needs of her students. She is passionate, sensitive, and caring, and has a unique and talented balance of recognizing the social/emotional and academic needs of her students. She also collaborates extremely effectively with schools and families to better understand how to support each individual student and meet their needs. Alessandra is a true gem and I would recommend her to any student or family."

  • "Alessandra has helped our daughter tremendously over the past few years with developing organizational skills, studying techniques, and test taking skills. She took the time upfront to really understand our daughter and her struggles and then helped her to grow, gain confidence, and succeed. She also stayed connected with us as parents so we could all be on the same page. An amazing success story! We are forever thankful."

  • "I started working with Alessandra over a year ago and she has changed the way I approach learning. I struggled with executing tasks and organizational skills but Alessandra has provided me with the necessary tools to be successful beyond the classroom. The subjects I struggled in are now some of my best classes thanks to the way Alessandra approaches the material and answers my questions. Alessandra also helped me with the college process and the way she approached writing essays and choosing schools alleviated so much of my stress and I felt prepared for my application deadlines. I wish I started working with Alessandra years ago and am grateful for all of her help!"

  • "Our daughter struggled with organizational skills, execution of completed work, and did not have the tools to be successful academically. With Alessandra’s guidance, she has gained the skills to become a confident and successful student. Our daughter has not only increased her grades, but she is happier and is excelling to become the best version of herself. Our only regret is not working with Alessandra sooner."

  • "My daughter's level of confidence improved dramatically as a direct result of Alessandra’s ability to gain her trust, navigate the challenges together and put an achievable plan in place. With Alessandra’s help, my daughter has improved her study skills, has learned to self advocate and has seen an improvement in her grades. All this after only a few weeks. We are so grateful to Alessandra for giving our daughter the direction and caring support she needed."

  • "Alessandra’s approach to learning has had a significant impact on my daughter. Using a holistic strategy, Alessandra works to understand the whole person so that the learning solutions she recommends hit the mark on all levels. She quickly builds trust, boosts confidence, and teaches skills that can be applied both in the classroom and in life. Alessandra is an absolute pro and is highly recommended to anyone looking to watch their child grow exponentially right before their eyes."
