[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My student has an executive function coach that meets with her (virtually) Monday morning and Friday morning and reviews upcoming tests, papers, deadlines, etc.   They develop a study plan to the week and then for the weekend. It has been immensely helpful.  I doubt we will do it all four years, but it has been a good start.[/quote]

NP here. How did you find this? DC is getting their butt kicked in two classes this first semester - political science and history classes. They’ve met with the professors and the repeated comment is they aren’t analytical enough in their essays, seem to be able to regurgitate the readings but have trouble applying the concepts, etc. (This was a 4.0 kid in HS with all 5s on their 15 APs incl every social science offerring. They are feeling very demoralized.) I am not sure what kind of tutoring to even suggest that DC seek, but I suspect they need some “back to basics” type tutoring teaching them how to note take and study. [/quote]
