Unlocking Potential, Nurturing Excellence: Executive Edge - Coaching, Tutoring, and Behavioral Solutions for Bright Futures.

At Executive Edge, we create an individualized plan based on your student's unique challenges. Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all curriculum doesn't apply to every student, our sessions emphasize key areas such as organization, time management, flexible thinking, emotional regulation, study skills, and effective strategies. We go beyond managing homework, projects, and calendars, extending to the creation of SMART goals.

Each session is meticulously crafted to suit the student's needs, incorporating a hand-picked curriculum. The ultimate objective is to guide students toward carrying over these skills more independently over time. For students grappling with executive functioning challenges, coaching becomes a vital tool in imparting these crucial skills. The overarching aim is to empower them to apply these skills autonomously throughout their daily routines.

Testimonials

I.F.

My family absolutely loves working with Danielle. Over the last couple of years Danielle has supported my children in their emotional regulation and social skills development, and more recently, executive functioning with my older one. She is familiar with the local school curriculum and can complement my kids’ learning experience at school through her lessons. She makes her lessons fun and relevant through games and the children’s own experiences. There is communication with parents at the end of each lesson (and as hoc as needed) which is incredibly helpful and often therapeutic. My kids have made great strides with Danielle, and we can’t thank her enough!

Danielle is one of the most dedicated individuals I have come across in the academic realm during the 11 years that my children have been in the NYS public school system. We luckily found her to help our teenager with executive functioning issues; she has worked with our daughter starting in 9th grade, and will hopefully continue through at least the end of my daughter’s current year in 10th grade. She has come to each tutoring session overly prepared with not only a schedule of what school-related tasks she wants to work on with our daughter, but also with articles to review with her about relevant topics, etc. If an issue arises, academic or otherwise, which affects our daughter’s ability to move forward productively with the executive functioning session, Danielle seamlessly pivots and jumps in head on to help address the current challenge. Danielle is attentive, patient, and conscientious. I highly recommend her.

Danielle has been an exceptional addition to our son's academic life. She tailors the work to the student's personal needs. Our son started on the basics of letters and handwriting, etc. Now they are moving on to creative writing and sentence structure, etc. Danielle is exceedingly patient and kind, and her calm demeanor allows her to naturally deal with our son’s frustrated moments. Our son also enjoys working with her and looks forward to his sessions.
