Our Approach
Consultation
& Diagnostic
Executive functioning coaching is a highly personal process, which is why every family receives a free consultation and optional cognitive assessment.
accountability Check-ins
In addition to live-sessions, Marigold Prep’s coaches proactively check in with their students several times per week to establish accountability and build consistency.
Goals, Systems, Redundancies
We start by setting goals and developing systems students can "touch and feel," like identifying priorities and breaking tasks into managble chunks.
Metacognition & Self Control
Once students are effectively managing their day to day, we develop less tangible skills like metacognition and self-control to enable long term and autonomous success.
Executive functioning coaching is $200 per hour, and includes 2-3 accountability checks ins per week.
What we cover
Our executive functioning coaches arm students with the following tools:
Time Management
We help our students develop calendar and reminder systems using tools tailored to their learning style, resulting in fewer late assignments, less procrastination, and more time to pursue what brings them joy.
asking for help
Asking for help can be intimidating, and many students aren't aware of the resources available through their school or community. We help them identify appropriate resources and develop self-advocacy skills to make the most of them.
prioritization & initiation
With the demands students face in middle, high school, and college, it can be hard to know what to tackle first. By helping students identify the urgent vs important, they minimize their stress and maximize their efficiency.
Physical Organization
A clear mind starts with a clean space, but maintaining oranization can fall to the bottom of a busy student's to-do list. We help students understand and take control of the benefits of having an orderly physical and digital space.
Study Skills & Remediation
Challenges in executive functioning can lead to gaps in academic content. Our educators support all major high school and college subjects, while emphasizing strong study habits and efficient note-taking.
coping mechanisms
Procrastination and avoidance can damage a GPA, but can also be signs of something more serious. Generally stemming from anxiety, exhaustion, or self-fulfilling prophecies, we help students understand the "why" behind these habits and the strategies to face them.
FAQ & Contact
Who is this program for?
We work with students from middle school through college. Each program is tailored to an individual student's needs because students develop these skills differently.

How is the program structured?
Students generally meet with their tutor once or twice per week for 60-90 minutes per session. In addition to live session time, tutors proactively check in with their students 2-3 times per week to ensure accountability and consistency.
What tangible results can I expect?
We always start by developing skills and systems a student can "touch and feel," like calendaring, prioritizing and breaking own upcoming tasks. We do this because 1) telling someone to get organized for the sake of getting organized is ineffective, and 2) this should result in a tangible increase in good habits and confidence.
By helping students learn to manage their day-to-day, we enable long-term, less tangible skills such as internal motivation and metacognition. Our goal is to quickly generate and celebrate wins while empowering autonomous, sustainable student success.
How does this fit in with subject tutoring?
Sometimes grades suffer from a lack of time management or study skills. Other times, they suffer because students don't understand the subject matter. Most often, they suffer from a combination of both. Our academic experts provide feedback on what is a study skills issue vs a content issue and tailor instruction accordingly. The Marigold team can tutor in all major high school and college subjects to ensure there are no academic gaps at the start of a new school year.
How do you pair students with their tutors?
Executive functioning and study skills development are highly personalized processes, and a student's trust in the process is critical to their success. We take time to get to know your students' needs, strengths, and learning styles so we can pair them with someone they "click" with off the bat. First sessions are always risk-free to ensure this is the perfect fit.
What's the cost?
Transitional tutoring is $200 per hour. This covers live session time and 2-3 accountability check-ins per week.
