It’s already on your payroll.
When a kid is struggling in school, the parent carries it all day: the calls, the emails, the worry. It shows up as last-minute PTO, long lunches on the phone and good people quietly cutting back.

What is executive function?
It’s the set of skills that run the work: getting started, planning, keeping track, managing time and following through. School assumes kids already have them. Plenty of smart, capable kids don’t yet, and the parent ends up as the reminder system.
Executive function coaching teaches those skills on the kid’s real schoolwork, week after week, until they can run their own week. It isn’t tutoring and it isn’t therapy. It’s the missing middle.
Help at every level a family needs it
Most families need a little. Some need a lot. The benefit covers both.
A parent video series and toolkit
“From Chaos to Calm,” four short recorded talks parents watch on their own time, with practical tools to use that night.
- Calmer homework evenings
- Stepping out of the reminder role
- A bounce-back plan when grades slip
Parent coaching
One-on-one coaching for the parent: how to step back, back their kid up and stop carrying it all.
- Private sessions on Zoom
- Focused on what the parent can change
- Parents get their focus back at work
Coaching for tweens and teens
Real coaching on real schoolwork, in a small group or one-on-one. I meet every family first and place each student where they’ll do best.
- Grade recovery in 4 weeks
- 12-week group or private coaching
- All on Zoom, from anywhere
Simple for HR. Easy for families.
You share one link
HR sends employees a page and your company code. That’s the whole rollout.
Families sign up privately
Name, email and code. Nothing about the child, and nothing comes back to you.
I take it from there
Parents get the series right away. Anyone who wants more books a free call, and I place each student.
No one has to raise their hand at work.
Families sign up with your company code. That keeps it private for them, and it lets me show you how many families use it when it’s time to renew.
- You see totals, never names. No total under three is ever reported.
- Groups are mixed. Never a group made of only your employees’ kids.
- One-on-one is fully private. Always.
- Year-end reporting so you can show the benefit is being used.
I built the benefit I wish I’d had.
A few years ago I left a job I cared about because my kid’s struggles at school took over our family. Our benefits were great, through my job and my husband’s. They just had a hole right here.
I’m a Certified Executive Function Coach with an MBA, the founder of BestEFC and 605Tutor, and a teacher and tutor in Sioux Falls.
“Natalie has been a wonderful addition to our child’s line up of resources as they enter the Jr High world and begin to navigate their life with more autonomy! With Natalie’s helping she’s learning skills like calendar planning, goal setting, and also has someone who holds her accountable outside of our household.”

The quick answers
We already have an EAP. Isn’t this covered?
Most EAPs and parent apps coach on behavior and mental health. We coach the kid on the actual schoolwork, and the parent on how to step back. It works alongside what you have.
Is this tutoring or therapy?
Neither. Tutoring teaches the subject. Executive function coaching teaches the skills around it: planning, starting, organizing and following through.
Does it work for remote or spread-out teams?
Yes. Everything runs on Zoom, so families can join from anywhere.
How is it priced?
Three annual packages, each with the parent series and a coaching fund I draw down as families are placed. We’ll find the one that fits your budget on the call.
What ages does it cover?
Tweens and teens, plus their parents. Groups are split by age.
How much work is it for HR?
Share one link and a company code. I handle sign-ups, scheduling and reporting.
Let’s talk about your people.
