Ekoniak Tutoring & Coaching was founded by Keaton Ekoniak in 2023, but he noticed learning inefficiencies in the classroom long before that. As he progressed through high school and college at the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), he noticed that schools focus heavily on teaching academic content but rarely teach students how to learn. Keaton believes - along with Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child - that just as math, science, and English need to be taught, so do the Executive Functioning skills that enable us to improve our ability to learn and navigate everyday life.
With this in mind, Ekoniak Tutoring & Coaching was born. Keaton's goal isn't just to deliver tutoring services that help students improve their course grades or gain a better understanding of school subjects; He wants to help young students develop the fundamental learning skills that are often overlooked in a classroom setting, such as Time Management, Organization, Note-Taking, and Study Habits.
That is why Ekoniak Tutors are trained to provide both Subject Tutoring and Executive Function Coaching. Because we believe that these are the two foundational components of a successful student. When you choose Ekoniak Tutoring, you can be assured that you'll be partnered with an expert tutor who can meet all of your tutoring needs, whether your student needs help understanding math concepts, editing their essays, or learning the best strategies to study for an upcoming test.
