GBMy Granddaughter Loved Her Coach My granddaughter loved her coach and learned so much from her and, in the beginning, we saw really nice improvement. She learned lots of strategies to get started with her homework and school projects; since she was a procrastinator, this was extremely valuable. Along with the other Executive Function strategies, she was doing her homework in a timely fashion and managing her time much better. Then Covid came, school fell apart because vitual learning happened so poorly and she stopped applying what she learned. The coach always stayed connected with us by sending information on what they had worked on and what was expected from my granddaughter. She also texted my granddaughter weekly to check that she was following through. We really couldn't ask for more.

GBOur experience with our coach and BBS… Our experience with our coach and BBS has been wonderful. They provide great value and tools for our daughter to think about and apply to her behavior. Our coach has been welcoming and trustworthy for our daughters care.

GBAppreciating BBS coaching We signed on for coaching from Beyond Book Smart this year for our daughter who is in 10th grade. She looks forward to her sessions, has a positive rapport with her coach, and appreciates the strategies she offers. Forearmed with these tools and mindsets, my daughter has decided to sign on for honors and AP courses next year. Junior year at high school is stressful enough, but the capacity to curb distractions and manage one's assignments and goals is a huge asset, well worth the price.

GBYes, try it. I have had two of my kids use Beyond Booksmart within the last few years. The staff and EF coaches are responsive and caring. BBS was an integral part of my daughter learning to work through her challenges. With her coach's perspective in the mix we were able to see the situation more broadly. My daughter changed from the prep school she was in to a voc tech. She is now a high school junior, an honors student, takes AP English and last summer did a two week precollege program at Harvard University. A long way from wondering if she was going to have to repeat eigth grade. My son is in college and was having executive functioning challenges. He's only been using the program for a few weeks, but seem to be getting something out of it as well. In his case he was not enthusiastic about his first match from our initial interview. BBS worked with us to find another match that he's much more responsive to.
