College will definitely test your executive functioning skills — or, if it already has, and your results lacked flying colors, let’s learn from your mistakes, and map out the most effective way for you to succeed.
Once we team up, we’ll build a game plan tailor-made for your situation, to ensure that you organize your work into manageable chunks, stay focused, and see things through. We’ll also ensure that you build another important skill that you can use for the rest of your life: knowing when to ask for help.
Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. At college, especially, it’s a sign that you know how to put the available resources to work on your behalf. The staff at the tutoring center and the library, your advisor and your professors: they all want you to succeed. Their job is to help you. So, even if you’re doing fine, and you’re not asking for help, you’re not letting them do their job. A key part of my job, too, is to ensure that you don’t try to go it alone.
