Helping students become the MVP of their own learning.

Ed supported our daughter through high school, helping her navigate dyslexia, ADHD, and other challenges with humor and empathy. He uses the latest motivational methods while empowering students to make their own choices, keeping parents informed with regular updates. Ed's genuine care extends beyond his students, building strong connections with entire families. We can't recommend him highly enough.

Ed is positive, friendly, and very good at what he does. He helped our student develop the tools to get organized, and stay organized, throughout the tough high school years.

I had the privilege of working with Ed for several years at Mid-Peninsula High School. A knowledgeable and dedicated educator, Ed was a strong advocate for Universal Design for Learning (UDL), consistently integrating research-based strategies to benefit both students and colleagues. His communication was reliable, thorough, and timely, and his work always focused on empowering students, helping them build self-advocacy skills and strengthen their executive functioning.

If your student struggles to balance school and extracurriculars, I highly recommend Ed. His executive function coaching helped our oldest thrive in high school, equipping him with strategies and confidence to manage his workload. Now excelling in college and accepted into a top graduate program, he's handling everything independently. When our younger son felt overwhelmed, Ed's guidance allowed him to succeed academically without giving up his passions.

I had the pleasure of working with Ed at Mid-Peninsula High School, where he served as an executive coach for my students. He consistently supported students struggling with organization or course material, going above and beyond to help them succeed. Ed's genuine care and passion allowed him to build strong relationships, making him an invaluable resource for their growth as learners.

There really is a difference between subject matter tutoring and executive function coaching, and Ed helped us realize that. If your student needs help with planning, organization, concentration skills, and focus, Ed can really help. His patience and thorough, detail-oriented approach is highly effective in teaching students the skills they need to organize themselves and plan better. A worthwhile investment!

I worked with Ed Stern for several years. He is dedicated to getting students organized and is exceedingly patient. Ed developed strong relationships with the students he worked with, and it was obvious that they benefited from his experience. I knew I could always send a student to Ed and they would get back on track and that they would improve!

Our daughter is bright and motivated, but she takes on a lot, and that tips into overachiever overwhelm fast. Ed helps her prioritize between school, homework, extracurriculars, and everything else she's interested in, and figure out what order to do things in. She looks forward to their time together.

Ed is an expert in helping students master executive function and organization. With extensive experience and a compassionate approach, he empowers learners to overcome challenges with clarity, confidence, and ease, benefiting both students and their families.
