Our Programs
The StudyPro programs are designed to strengthen underdeveloped executive function and study skills.
We help students to identify what is slowing them down — aka their ‘friction’ — implement strategies to remove that friction, and practice those skills until they become habits for life.
Strategies for time-management, planning, initiating, active-studying, test-taking, etc. are most efficiently learned in a dedicated course.
Meeting each student where they are, coaches help create work plans and strategies to address individualized executive function goals.
Providing structure, accountability, and subject-matter support, students work through their assignments and experience what success feels like.
Writing requires process mastery, confidence, and practice. Our course and coaching teach strategies for all phases of writing and combats common “stuck points”.
