Effective Executive Functioning Teaches Independence -
In and Out of the Classroom
Support every step of the way
Executive function is the set of mental skills that include working memory, flexible thinking, and self-control. While many of us think these skills are geared toward school or work, we use these skills every day to learn, work, and manage daily life. As an educator and executive function coach, Michael creates executive function strategies geared toward each individual's goals and objectives. From waking up in the morning to understanding what is needed to hand in that assignment or project on time, and according to the rubric, Michael understands what is necessary to move his clients to the next level.

I have worked with Mike Ross for over 3 years now and can say happily and with so much gratitude how helpful he has been throughout my college career. I first started at one university and transferred to another during lockdown and helped make my course load more manageable with lots of planning and prioritization/preparation when it comes to the executive functioning skills, especially when it comes to writing papers. It is because of Mike Ross I was always able to pass a class and can gratefully say I am on track to graduate this December. He is not only there for you academically, but is there for you personally as well and cares about all of his students success and wellbeing. He has been my biggest fan and cheerleader throughout my entire 3 years working with him. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude.
A Member of Our Family
A few years back, we were looking for an educational coach for our two sons; one in high school, the second in junior high. Michael came highly recommended by a trusted friend. This was one of the best decisions our family has made.
Michael’s endearing personality saw him bond with our sons.
He understood the areas necessary for concentration and began immediately to address them. Michael became the trusted partner we required. He has worked with our sons over the past five years and those areas of weakness have become strengths. Our youngest son is now an A student entering college. Michael remains a part of our family and continues to be an asset we call on.
I'm incredibly grateful for Michael Ross, my daughter's exceptional teacher and tutor for several years. He was genuinely invested in her success and even supported her with auditory processing challenges. Michael's patience and tailored approach helped her advance academically. He's not just a teacher but a true mentor who cares deeply. Even after his engagement with her, he continues to check in on her progress in college, showing his ongoing dedication to her success. A truly caring teacher making a lasting impact!
Michael Ross gets it and my son is thriving. From the moment I first spoke with Michael, he told me, your son needs to want this and two years later - WOW! Not only has my son learned how to be better organized and what constructive feedback looks like, Michael has successfully worked with us to ensure the DOE understands his strengths and weaknesses too. From speaking and working with my son's school to working with my son to testifying on our behalf to the DOE, Michael Ross has helped my son be a more independent and confident learner.
Michael is a one of a kind teacher with a huge heart and truly unlimited patience! We are so grateful that we met you! Thank you for everything you've done for my children and the children I referred to you!
