Award-Winning Executive Functioning Tutors
serving Orlando, FL

Over two decades working with students on IEPs and 504 plans taught Dolmecia exactly where the hidden breakdowns happen — the kid who understands the math but can't start the problem set, or the one whose binder is a black hole of lost worksheets. Her special education certification and finance training give her both the behavioral framework and the structured, systems-oriented mindset to build concrete routines around task initiation, material tracking, and assignment planning tied to a student's actual schoolwork.

Medical school demands serious executive functioning — juggling anatomy, biochemistry, and clinical rotations means Kaitlyn has battle-tested systems for time management, task prioritization, and breaking large projects into manageable steps. She teaches students how to build their own planning routines, from using calendars effectively to chunking study sessions so material actually sticks. Rated 4.8 by students and families.

All students can learn, however, not all students learn the same way. The key to learning and the most important part of any teachers job is helping students understand how they learn best. That is what I do well.

As a tutor for 20+ years, I bring ample experience and knowledge. I specialize in standardized testing (MCAT, SAT, ACT, GRE, & more), medical school and pre-med courses, and undergraduate STEM subjects. A former medical school student and Master of Public Health, I opted for what truly brings me joy: tutoring, teaching, and guiding students to lifelong academic success.

Planning, prioritizing, and self-monitoring don't come naturally to every student — they're skills that can be explicitly taught. Cristiana breaks executive functioning into concrete habits: using checklists to initiate tasks, time-blocking to manage sustained attention, and post-session reflections to build self-awareness about what strategies are working. Her own experience managing a demanding dual-major course load gives her practical techniques to share, not just theory.

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.

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.

Planning, prioritizing, and managing time across multiple commitments is something Sydny had to master while juggling three undergraduate majors and medical school preparation. She breaks executive functioning into specific, practicable skills — task initiation, deadline mapping, and self-monitoring — so students build routines that work independently of a tutor's reminders.

The best part of tutoring is promoting students' long-term success through mastery of reading, writing, math, study skills, organization, and critical thinking. In particular, I enjoy helping students build test-taking strategies and core skills for the ACT, SAT, and other admissions tests. I also support pre-K and K-12 students learning math and ELA. Before joining Varsity, I tutored in a Reading and Writing Lab for university students with learning disabilities where I earned a College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certification. Since joining Varsity, I have completed continuing education through the Lastinger Center for Learning. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 2021 with a BA in Cultural Anthropology. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as an instructional aide for an art program, an applied anthropology researcher, and a nonprofit program coordinator. Out of all these experiences, I enjoy tutoring the most. I look forward to working with you!

Managing art projects from concept to finished piece — juggling sketches, revisions, material prep, and critique deadlines — forced Laura to develop the exact planning and sequencing skills that executive functioning coaching targets. She teaches students to build visual workflows and concrete routines for breaking down assignments, initiating tasks, and tracking deadlines across subjects, drawing on the same project-management instincts that drive her studio practice.

Hello! I am an Arizona State University graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Biological Science. My academic background is grounded in both technical problem-solving and a deep curiosity about how systems, whether digital or human, function. Outside the classroom, I've had the opportunity to work with students across a range of ages and abilities, from mentoring engineering and premed undergraduates at ASU to tutoring high schoolers in SAT/ACT prep, as well as K-12 students through Teach for America. I am comfortable with a range of subjects and am willing to work to meet your needs. Below are some of courses I have successfully tutored for in the past.

Five years working specifically with students with learning differences taught Sydney where the real sticking points are — the student who knows what the assignment says but can't figure out where to start, or the one who chronically underestimates how long a reading response will take. She ties executive functioning strategies like task breakdown and self-monitoring directly to the English and Spanish coursework she also tutors, so students practice these skills on actual assignments rather than in isolation. Rated 4.9 by clients.

Ten years ago, I started as an elementary substitute while attending Hanover College. As my interests in the education field changed and progressed, my philosophy stayed the same; education is something that can happen anywhere, not just in the traditional classroom. I went on to gain a Master's in School Librarianship & Facilitated Learning from Indiana University-Indianapolis. During this time I had started actually teaching, first with library sciences, elementary technology, elementary science, and tutoring. Over the past six years, I have tutored; homework help, organization, special education, exam reteaching, and mentoring for students from 3rd grade through adults taking professional licensing exams (ie. PRAXIS). While things have changed, my passion is still finding what a student needs for their best learning possible, and adapting content to work with them. My philosophy is simply that I think everyone can learn, sometimes we just have to look at the education differently.

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.
