Meeting Students Where They Are Now –
Helping Them Excel Academically in the Future
A certified and experienced Executiive Function Coach, I work with academically struggling students on organizational and prioritization skill building. Academically “struggling” students, whether based a diagnosis or generalized anxiety, can almost always be overcome with my gentle approach to establishing and maintaining academic routines, such as school portal and calendar access, email communication, and upkeep of physical organization of backpack and workspaces.

Does your teen have trouble completing her homework? My daughter is a bright kind hearted kid who struggles with executive function disorder. Therefore, she has difficulty self- regulating, planning, problem solving, and completing her work. This situation makes attaining her academic goals nearly impossible… Her executive function coach, Anna Bean, identified her strengths and weaknesses, and taught her how to plan, organize, focus and sustain effort toward a goal. It wasn’t magic, but slowly my daughter learned how to complete her assignments. She developed confidence as her grades improved… She trusted the process and was accepted into the college of her choice.

We are so grateful for Dr. Anna Bean. Our son had access to executive functioning support through high school and we didn’t know what to expect when he went away to college. We are delighted that his weekly Zoom meetings with Dr. Bean along with her clear email summaries help him stay on track, and also give us insight into what he’s doing. She’s also very responsive to questions/suggestions from us. An extra bonus is that our son not only recognizes the value of Dr. Bean’s coaching but also really enjoys meeting with her. In short, Dr. Bean is a critical part of our team and we highly recommend her!
