Learn to Organize with Ekoniak Tutoring

---

Does your student struggle to stay organized with their homework assignments, tests, and daily to-dos? With Ekoniak Tutoring, we'll teach your student practical ways to improve their physical organization skills. 

Ekoniak Tutoring & Coaching is dedicated to helping students succeed academically by providing comprehensive subject tutoring and executive function coaching services in Menlo Park, Atherton, and the surrounding areas. Keaton Ekoniak, the founder of Ekoniak Tutoring, realized that schools only focus on teaching students about specific subject material (math, science, etc.). He noticed that schools often overlook a set of skills that are equally as important to a child's learning journey: executive functioning skills. Executive functioning skills define a variety of soft skills such as time management, organization, planning, note-taking, and test preparation. Without these skills, students often struggle to succeed in school, not because they have difficulty understanding their course material, but because they don't know how to effectively manage their learning process.

In this article, we'll be talking about one of our executive function coaching topics: Organization. Our tutors are trained to provide expert organization help tailored to the needs of their students. With us, your student will learn how to create functional systems for organizing their homework, notes, tests, and other class-related materials. Our tutors provide in-person organization help in Atherton, Menlo Park, and the San Mateo county area and offer virtual organization services to students across the country. 

Organizing Class Material

The first step to becoming an efficient student is staying organized. Too often, students overlook the importance of separating homework, notes, and returned tests for each of their classes. By organizing their classwork, students will create a functional system that they will know how to use if they need to complete an unfinished homework assignment, dispute a homework or test grade, or review notes before a test.

Create a Structured Workspace

Once a student has organized their course materials, it is important for them to identify and structure a workspace that they can use explicitly for school work. Having a workplace dedicated to school work promotes focus and reduces distractions. Our tutors will work with your students to understand if they prefer working at home, at school, or at a local library, as well as coming up with strategies to further reduce external distractions and promote focus. 

Organizing Schedules and Time Management

Students often don't understand how important it is to organize and plan their daily and weekly schedules. Our tutors will help your student to create weekly to-do lists, organize their weekly activities, and learn how daily schedules can be used to block time designated to work on homework or study.

Ekoniak Tutors are hand-selected for their abilities to teach students complex concepts and connect with students to create fun, engaging learning environments. Our tutors all come from top-tier universities across the world, and have extensive teaching or tutoring experience prior to joining Ekoniak Tutoring & Coaching. With our Ekoniak Tutors, you can expect the following:

1-on-1 Personalized Tutoring

We understand that each student is unique. That's why Ekoniak Tutors develop personalized learning plans tailored to their student's individual strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. Our goal is not only to help our students achieve success in school, but to become independent as they navigate life. 

Mentors, Not Tutors

Ekoniak Tutors are more than just tutors, they are mentors. In our interview process, we look specifically for students who are outgoing, personable, communicative, and responsible. We realize that a student's tutor often acts as a role model in their lives, and that is exactly what we aim to provide. 

Flexible Scheduling Tailored To You

We realize that life is busy, and that your schedule may change. That is why all of our clients are provided with direct contact to their tutors. If your schedule changes, don't sweat it! You can easily reach out to your tutor to reschedule with your tutor, as long as you provide ample notice as mentioned by our cancellation policy.
