That’s when all schools tend to ramp up their curriculum to be more rigorous, some students don’t have the resolve to know how to put it all together, and it looks like they’re falling apart academically when they’re really falling apart organizationally.

I hate the word ‘lazy,’ it’s not that kids who struggle with executive functioning aren’t smart enough or trying hard enough. It’s that their brains can’t process the information fast enough.

I don’t take children in my practice unless I know that they want to be there, tutoring is not for the kids who are getting an A-minus, but their parents want them to get As. (It’s for) the kid who’s feeling frustrated that they’re not meeting their potential. That’s the kid who benefits most from tutoring.
