How Executive Function Skills Can Boost Academic Success | Math Around the Corner

Fort Worth, United States – September 8, 2025 / Math Around The Corner /

FORT WORTH, TX – Math Around the Corner, a leading tutoring company serving the DFW metroplex, provides executive functioning coaching services. Families turn to these programs to meet the growing demand for complete academic success strategies. This offering aligns with research showing the critical role of executive function skills in student performance across all academic areas.

Executive Functioning Coaching & Student Progress

Executive functioning coaching focuses on developing three core cognitive abilities that directly impact learning: working memory, cognitive flexibility, and inhibitory control. Unlike traditional subject-specific tutoring, this specialized approach targets the underlying mental processes students need to succeed in all academic areas, from mathematics and reading to organization and time management.

The expansion addresses a major need in the Fort Worth educational community. A meta-analysis of over 7,900 students found that executive function skills demonstrate strong predictive power for academic performance in primary education, with particularly pronounced effects in younger students.

Addressing the Hidden Learning Gap

Many students struggle academically not because they lack intelligence or subject knowledge, but because they haven’t developed the cognitive control skills needed to apply their abilities effectively. Research tracking students with ADHD shows that children may lag up to 30% behind their same-age peers in executive function development, highlighting the importance of targeted intervention.

These challenges often get misinterpreted as behavioral problems, lack of motivation, or learning disabilities when they reflect gaps in executive functioning skills. Students may understand math concepts but forget multi-step procedures, comprehend reading material but struggle to organize their thoughts for writing, or know the answers but rush through tests without checking their work.

Personalized Coaching for Real-World Results

Math Around the Corner’s executive functioning coaching program provides individualized support to help students improve focus in school while developing important student organization skills. The program combines direct assessment of each student’s cognitive profile with explicit instruction in research-based strategies that enhance learning across all subjects.

During executive functioning sessions, trained tutors work with students to develop personalized academic success strategies that address attention span, goal-setting abilities, working memory, and organizational capabilities. Students engage in activities designed to strengthen planning skills, practice following multi-step directions, and learn flexible problem-solving approaches that transfer to classroom settings.

From Vision to Academic Success Strategies

Carol Bearden, founder of Math Around the Corner, developed the expanded program after observing the connection between executive function skills and student success in mathematics. What began as occasional support for students struggling with organization has evolved into a program that integrates executive functioning support into all subject areas.

The program particularly benefits students who have adequate subject-matter knowledge but struggle with the cognitive demands of school. Parents often report that their children are bright and capable but can’t seem to get organized, follow through on assignments, or focus during homework time.

Complete Support for Modern Students

The executive functioning coaching program serves students from kindergarten through college, offering both in-person sessions at the Fort Worth location and virtual coaching options for families throughout the DFW metroplex. Students who participate in executive functioning coaching often improve focus in school, demonstrate stronger academic performance, build self-confidence, and develop greater independence in managing schoolwork.

The program’s emphasis on developing student organization skills helps participants create sustainable systems for managing assignments, materials, and time commitments that serve them throughout their academic careers.

Math Around the Corner’s expanded executive functioning coaching services complement the company’s existing tutoring programs in mathematics, science, English, and test preparation. The integration of these academic success strategies across all subjects creates a complete support system that addresses both content knowledge and the cognitive skills needed to apply that knowledge effectively.

With a 98% success rate for students who attend weekly sessions, Math Around the Corner has established itself as a trusted resource for Fort Worth families seeking academic support that goes beyond traditional tutoring.
