Between football games, pumpkin patches, and holiday plans, fall can pull students' attention in every direction. Staying organized is what keeps schoolwork on track without giving up the season's best moments.

Set clear boundaries for homework and study time, then schedule breaks for the activities your child looks forward to. When fun has a place on the calendar, it's easier to stay focused during work time.

Want more strategies for managing distractions? Contact us to learn how executive function coaching can help your child thrive this fall.

Notre Dame is reinstating the SAT/ACT requirement for Fall 2028 applicants.
Why are more and more colleges rolling back test-optional policies? Recent research has found that standardized test scores are strongly correlated with first-year GPA.

Our take: earning a high test score takes practice and grit. Preparing for the test and persevering through challenging material builds the study habits that matter most in a student's first year of college.

At Pollak Tutors, we help students build those foundations and reach their full college potential. Call us today to see how we can prepare together for the best outcomes.

Missed deadlines, messy backpacks, and forgotten assignments are often mistaken for carelessness or lack of effort. In many cases, they point to executive function challenges, which are skills that can be taught and strengthened.

Through coaching, students build practical strategies for planning, organizing, and following through, so they can succeed in school and beyond.

SAT or ACT?

Hot take: Try both full length mock tests!

Have your child take a full-length mock SAT and a full-length mock ACT (we offer both Mock SAT and ACT at Pollak Tutors). Most of our students come away with a preference, and their scores usually point the same way. Once you know which test feels better and which one they score higher on, focus all their preparation there.
What not to do? Prepare for both. Success on these exams comes as much from mastering the format as from knowing the content, so we strongly recommend choosing one test and sticking with it.

Maybe staying organized feels tricky. Maybe big projects are hard to start. Maybe keeping track of everything that's due feels overwhelming.

Those are skills and skills can be learned.

Executive function coaching helps students discover the tools and strategies that make school feel manageable, even enjoyable.

As the school year picks up speed, a quick reset of your child's workspace can make a big difference. Clear off the clutter, then set up a simple system for tasks, such as a folder for assignments to complete and another for finished work. This is a GREAT way to start every month!

A tidy space reduces mental fatigue and makes it easier for your child to focus and stay productive.

Executive function is the ability to thoughtfully and logically see, assess, plan and execute in everyday life. For example, to complete a project, executive function allows us to understand the goals, and plan the steps we need to achieve that goal. It allows us to start work when needed and re-evaluate each step and adjust to complete the task.

Executive function ability forms in the frontal lobe of the brain, which research has found doesn’t fully form until a person is in their early to mid 20s! But that doesn’t mean we don’t have the potential to get better at executive function until then. Executive Function Coaches can help teach and reinforce strategies to help students become the absolute best version of themselves, and the confidence to excel in school.

If your student needs help to succeed in school, whether its organization, project completion, study habits, we can help design strategies for them to succeed!
