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.

Rosie's graduate work in healthcare and her undergraduate finance training both demanded juggling complex, multi-step processes under tight deadlines — skills she now unpacks for students who struggle with planning, time management, and task initiation. She teaches across a wide range of subjects, from math to essay writing, which means she can embed executive functioning strategies directly into the academic work a student is already doing rather than treating them as separate lessons. That cross-subject perspective lets her spot where organizational breakdowns are actually happening and build practical routines around those specific friction points.
Law school is essentially a crash course in executive functioning — Yilin's Juris Doctor required managing simultaneous case briefs, seminar deadlines, and long-term research projects with zero hand-holding. She applies that same structured thinking to teach students how to prioritize competing assignments, catch procrastination patterns before they spiral, and build study workflows that hold up across subjects like math, science, and writing. Rated 5.0 by clients.
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!
I'm working towards my Bachelors/Masters in Chemical Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, with a special interest in math and physics! I believe that visual demonstrations alongside verbal explanations of material work best for strengthening a students ability to conceptualize material. I have experience tutoring both college and high school students, and I am particularly well-equipped to assist with math, physics, and SAT preparation.
I've helped several hundred students in a wide variety of subjects, from executive functioning to computer science to standardized testing. I also help students with general support in math and English. Most of my students are around 9-17, but I work well with students who are older and a little younger as well. I also work very well with students who have specific obstacles or requirements, such as neurodiversity support or schedules that change a lot. Most of my background is in computer science, from my college major to my experience hands-on over the past 10 years. Regardless of the subject, I believe every student's needs are unique and every student is able to achieve great things with the right preparation and support. My number one goal is to provide that whenever I can, both to the student and to their parents. I communicate with parents outside of sessions a lot to establish their expectations, better understand students, and recommend ways they can directly support their children in their journey as well.
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. Rated 4.9 by clients.
Jennifer's M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction trained her to design structured learning sequences — a skill she now applies to teaching students how to plan multi-step projects, estimate time for assignments, and organize materials across classes. Her experience spanning elementary through college-level work means she calibrates these systems to each student's actual academic demands, building routines around real homework and deadlines rather than abstract exercises. Rated 5.0 by clients.
I have over 20 years of experience in the education field and specialize in ELA for all grade levels including AP/Honors, college, ESL/ELL, special education and test prep. I also enjoy additional subject areas: assisting students with college applications and essay writing/editing, general homework in all subjects, executive functioning and preparing students for entrance exams (private school, ISEE, TEAS, or ELA section of the PSAT/SAT), college applications including essays and college or scholarship interviews. I hold a BA, M.Ed. degrees, certifications in teaching, Academic Coaching, and Tutoring. In addition, I have extensive training on working with students on IEP's or other educational plans. I focus on building skills through customized sessions. Thank you for viewing my profile, I look forward to working with your student!
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.
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).
I currently work for an afterschool enrichment program (Best Brains) tutoring elementary English and math, and I have 4+ years of experience as a private ESL tutor for both children and adults. I am working toward my Masters of Science in Secondary English Education and ESL at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative World Literature and Japanese, and from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master of Arts in Japanese Language and Literature. I began tutoring while I was in high school, assisting with algebra homework. In college, I volunteered as a kindergarten reading assistant through a program called Start Making a Reader Today. I later volunteered while in graduate school at a local high school tutoring students in beginner Japanese. I have also been employed by the University of Wisconsin as a Teaching Assistant, and taught in Religious Studies and East Asian Studies. In all cases, it has been a pleasure watching students progress in their academics and to see them grow as young scholars. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because of the feeling of connection that language can bring. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the smiling face of someone the moment that they finally "get" something they've been struggling with and watching their confidence boost. In my free time, I host a small book club, pen pal with friends around the world, and try my hand at new recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Executive functioning refers to the mental processes that help us plan, organize, manage time, and complete tasks—skills that are essential for academic success. Students with strong executive functioning can break down assignments, stay organized, manage deadlines, and adapt when plans change. In Dallas's diverse school districts, students face varying classroom structures and expectations, making personalized support in these foundational skills particularly valuable for keeping up with coursework and reducing stress.
Many students struggle with time management, difficulty starting or completing tasks, disorganization, working memory limitations, and trouble prioritizing multiple assignments. Others may have trouble with emotional regulation when facing frustration or setbacks. These challenges often become more apparent as students move through middle and high school, where independent work and multi-step projects become more demanding. Personalized tutoring can address these specific barriers with targeted strategies and practice.
In a classroom with a 15.3:1 student-teacher ratio, teachers focus on delivering content to the whole class and may not have time to work one-on-one on organizational systems or time management strategies tailored to individual learning styles. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to assess exactly where a student struggles, teach strategies that fit their specific needs, and practice those skills repeatedly until they become automatic. This targeted approach often leads to faster progress and more lasting habit changes.
Executive functioning support is valuable at all grade levels, but students often benefit most during transitions—moving to middle school (when organization demands increase significantly), entering high school (when independent project management becomes critical), and preparing for college. That said, building these skills early in elementary school creates a strong foundation. Varsity Tutors connects students at any grade level with tutors who can strengthen these skills before academic or behavioral challenges develop.
Students typically see measurable improvements in assignment completion rates, on-time submission of work, organizational systems (folders, planners, digital tools), time estimation and planning abilities, and overall stress levels. Many students also experience improved grades as a direct result of better organization and task management. The timeline varies by student, but most see noticeable changes within 4-6 weeks of consistent practice with personalized strategies.
In the first session, a tutor will typically assess the student's current strengths and challenges through conversation and observation—asking about how they currently manage assignments, what frustrates them most, and what strategies they've tried. The tutor will also learn about the student's classes, workload, and specific goals. This information helps create a personalized plan focused on the highest-impact skills to address first, whether that's time management, organization systems, or breaking down complex tasks.
Look for tutors with experience working with students who have executive functioning challenges, familiarity with evidence-based strategies (like time-blocking, task breakdown, and habit-stacking), and ideally some background in learning differences or educational psychology. Tutors should be skilled at teaching practical systems and tools, not just explaining concepts. Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who have a track record of helping students develop lasting organizational and time management skills.
Yes—younger students benefit from concrete, visual systems (color-coded folders, visual schedules, checklists with pictures), while middle and high school students can use more sophisticated tools like digital calendars, project management apps, and written planning systems. The underlying principles remain the same, but tutors adjust complexity and independence expectations based on developmental level. A skilled tutor will teach strategies that grow with the student and gradually shift from external supports to internal habits.
