EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS

Essential Skills from a Student Life Coach

Swoon Learning helps students develop crucial skills like organization, focus, and time management, setting them up to thrive in school and beyond.

Executive Function Coaching

Executive functions are like the "control center" of our brains, guiding us toward achieving goals. These skills are crucial for success in school, work, and everyday life. At Swoon Learning, we work with students to build these skills by teaching them how to set realistic academic and personal goals—and, just as importantly, how to stay accountable. Through regular coaching check-ins, personalized strategies, and progress tracking, students learn to follow through and develop habits that stick.

Learn how we cultivate executive functions for our students.
