Academic success for Dyslexic, ADHD, and Neurodivergent learners requires more than tutoring

Academic Coaching

The Engaged Brain’s Academic Coaching is built on 21 years of experience in literacy, executive functioning, and neurodivergent learning.

This is not generic homework help.  It is deep, personalized coaching that strengthens the foundations students need for long-term confidence and independence.


We honor each student’s pace, processing style, and emotional experience while building the strategies that allow them to thrive.

Ms. Bruner showed me ways to organize myself in relation to my learning style...she helped me prepare for what a boarding school experience would be like.

Our Coaching program

1. Discovery Call

3. Coaching & Implementation

2. Personalized Plan

We begin with a comprehensive 30-minute Discovery session to understand your learner’s strengths, challenges, and goals. This includes gathering background information, identifying specific areas of need, and clarifying priorities with the student (and family, if applicable).

2. Personalized Plan

3. Coaching & Implementation

2. Personalized Plan

Based on the assessment, I create a customized plan that addresses academic, executive functioning, and personal growth goals. This plan is tailored to each learner’s profile — whether that includes ADHD, dyslexia, twice-exceptionality, or other learning differences.

3. Coaching & Implementation

3. Coaching & Implementation

3. Coaching & Implementation

We then move into weekly coaching sessions. These sessions combine strategy instruction (executive functioning, literacy, organization) with mindset coaching (building resilience, confidence, and independence). Students immediately begin applying strategies to their real-life tasks, schoolwork, or daily routines.

4. Family Collaboration

5. Progress Monitoring & Feedback

3. Coaching & Implementation

For high school learners, I collaborate with parents to ensure strategies extend beyond our sessions and into home and school life. For college students and adults, the focus is on building self-advocacy and independence.

5. Progress Monitoring & Feedback

5. Progress Monitoring & Feedback

5. Progress Monitoring & Feedback

We regularly check in on goals and track measurable progress. Feedback loops allow us to refine strategies and tools as we go, ensuring continued growth and tangible results.

6. Continued Support & Growth

5. Progress Monitoring & Feedback

5. Progress Monitoring & Feedback

After the initial program, learners may continue with ongoing coaching, transition to maintenance sessions, or access specialized programs or workshops. This ensures skills aren’t just learned, they’re sustained and expanded.
