Executive function is the set of skills your child uses to plan, get organized, start tasks, keep track of time and hold steps in mind. It isn't a diagnosis on its own, and a tutor can help whether or not your child has ADHD.
The worksheet is at school, the book is in a locker, and the finished assignment is in the bottom of the backpack.
Getting started is the hardest part: your child sits down, gets up, sharpens a pencil and an hour slips away.
The project was assigned three weeks ago, and you find out about it at bedtime the evening it's due.
You check the bag, ask about homework and remind them to do it, every single day, and it feels like nagging.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to your family doctor, pediatrician or your child's teacher. These Canadian organizations explain the signs and how to work with your child's school:
A tutor can do more than check that homework is done. Look for one who teaches your child how to plan it, break it into steps and keep track of it, then practises those habits with real schoolwork, so your child may need fewer reminders from you.
Finished homework goes missing somewhere between the kitchen table and the teacher's desk. A tutor can help your child set up one simple place for every assignment and a quick daily bag check. Ask for a system your child picks with the tutor, so it fits how they actually work.
Your child may spend an hour sharpening pencils before writing a word. A tutor can make the first step tiny and clear, and use a timer for short work blocks. You can ask the tutor to plan breaks with a set end, so starting gets easier before worry or boredom wins.
Big projects often wait until the night before, and then the whole house feels the crisis. Look for a tutor who helps your child read a due date, work backward and put each small step on a calendar. Ask for test prep spread over several days, too.
Your child may start a three-step task and forget step two halfway through. A tutor can try written checklists, one instruction at a time and quick review when working memory gets overloaded. You can ask which supports work best, so you can use the same ones at home.
Wherever your child focuses best: online, at your home, or in a quiet study room at a public library.
A quiet study room gives structure without the distractions of home. Meet in an open study area or a booked room.

Questions about matching, scheduling or pricing? Reach us whichever way suits you, and our team will take it from there.
No. Trouble with planning, organizing or getting started can come with ADHD or a learning disability, and it can also be a skill that is still developing. Only a doctor or psychologist can assess the cause. A tutor works on what you see at homework time, with or without a diagnosis.
Usually not. Many children know what to do but struggle to do it at the moment it matters, which is why being told to try harder rarely helps. Teaching the steps and setting up supports right where the work happens, like a checklist or a timer, tends to help more than extra pressure.
Yes. Real assignments are good practice, so you can ask the tutor to work with your child's actual homework, projects and upcoming tests. Look for a tutor who teaches the planning behind the work, not only the answers, so the habit has a chance to carry over to the next assignment.
Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.
