Do you want to make a BIG difference in the lives of struggling students?

Then you are in the right place ✅

I'm Sean McCormick, the founder of Executive Function Specialists and the author of this course. When I started tutoring as a side-business in 2020 from my main job as a special education teacher, I had no idea how vast and deep the need for executive function coaching was. Within 10 months of starting my business I needed to hire team members to meet the demand and was able to resign from my tenured teaching position in a school district because SO many people need help with their executive function challenges. After two years of refining and perfecting my process for providing executive function coaching, I am laying out the foundational steps provide this type of support for students and families in this course. I am confident that if you invest the time, energy and enthusiasm into learning the skills I teach here, you too can make a BIG impact on the lives of families and students. It won't be overnight, but this course is most certainly an EXCELLENT step in the direction of being an Executive Function Specialist.

Social proof: testimonials

"...it will help me guide students to be confident, motivated, and self-reliant learners."

Amy Minkley

As a teacher of 16 years, I took the "Becoming an Online Executive Function Specialist” course, so I could effectively guide students to build these essential skills, empowering them to be organized, successful, and independent learners. I learned current research and best-practice strategies to build executive functioning skills, while also positively engaging with students and their families. The course included many practical tools to help students break down their goals into achievable steps, utilize technology and support structures, and communicate effectively with their teachers. Given that research indicates executive functioning skills are the most important skills that determine academic success, this course would be useful to teachers, tutors, and parents. It will help you guide young people and may help you personally; I consider myself well-organized, and I learned new EF techniques that are now helping me to reach my personal goals. Most importantly, it will help me guide students to be confident, motivated, and self-reliant learners. And as a bonus, I love that I can easily teach EF skills online.
