Coaches are Best-in-Class I've worked with 3 coaches and they've all been fantastic. BeyondBookSmart seems to hire only best-in-class professionals from therapists to executives. The WorkSpace is a perfect setting to hold myself accountable without needing to ask a colleague. It's reliable and private.

Yes, 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.

So far so good So far so good, but we have just barely begun our coaching journey. Perhaps timing this review request a little further into the process would make more sense.

My 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.

A lifetime of benefits gained The executive function coaching that both our sons received from Beyond BookSmart literally changed their lives for the better. Not only did the coaching help them navigate academic and organizational challenges during their middle/high school years, it supported them in college and helped to develop skill sets for the working world and in life overall! We can't say enough about the team and the caring approach that benefited our sons. The investment in executive function coaching with BBS was invaluable. Years later, we still see it paying off, and the team is still just a phone call away if we ever need it.
