Executive Function Coaching for College Students in Manhattan
In-person and virtual executive function coaching for college students in NYC — time management, planning, accountability, and follow-through, on campus or at home.
College in Manhattan means independence arrives all at once — unstructured schedules, competing deadlines, and a city full of distractions. DES provides one-to-one executive function coaching for college students in NYC, building the weekly systems that turn capable students into consistent ones.
Why College in the City Is Different
NYC college students juggle coursework alongside internships, jobs, commutes, and an always-on social scene. Without the structure of high school, executive function gaps show up fast: missed deadlines, all-nighters, avoidance, and the second-semester slide. Coaching replaces scramble with systems.
Who We Coach
We work with students attending Manhattan-area colleges — including NYU, Columbia, Barnard, Fordham, The New School, Pace, and CUNY campuses — as well as NYC students home on leave or studying remotely. Coaches meet students near campus, at our Upper East Side office at 501 East 87th Street, in-home, or virtually.
What College EF Coaching Works On
Weekly one-to-one sessions build a durable operating system: semester and weekly planning, task initiation, time blocking, assignment tracking, study routines, professor communication, and honest accountability between sessions. The goal is independence — the coach works themselves out of a job.
ADHD Coaching and Academic Probation Support
Many of our college students have ADHD or other executive function challenges. We also support students on academic warning or probation with structured recovery plans — and we keep parents informed without helicoptering.

Do you work with current college students in Manhattan?
Yes. We provide college executive function coaching for students at NYU, Columbia, Barnard, Fordham, and other campuses — planning, time management, study systems, and follow-through — in person in Manhattan or virtually anywhere, including students on academic probation.
My student has ADHD and deadlines are chaos. Where do we start?
With a free consultation. For students with ADHD, we typically anchor everything to a college executive function coaching plan first, then layer tutoring or test prep into that structure — order matters.
Can parents stay involved once a student is in college?
Coaching moves accountability from you to your student. Families choose the level of visibility that fits — many parents get a monthly progress rhythm without being in the middle of every deadline.
Is this tutoring or coaching?
Coaching. We build the systems — semester maps, weekly plans, reading and assignment routines — that make every course easier. When subject help is needed, our academic tutors work alongside the coach in one plan.
How do we start?
Schedule a free consultation. Aron personally matches your student with the right coach, typically within 24–48 hours.
