# Debra Borenstein Coaching

> Certified executive functioning coach serving elementary through college students
> across Broward County and Palm Beach County, Florida, and online nationwide.

Debra Borenstein is a Certified Executive Functioning Specialist and educational coach.
She helps students build the skills school assumes but rarely teaches: time management,
organization, task initiation, emotional regulation, working memory, and follow-through.

## Who she works with
- Elementary students (homework routines, getting started, materials management)
- Middle school students (the transition to multiple teachers and subjects)
- High school students (deadlines, workload, college preparation)
- College students (self-management without external structure)
- Young adults (systems for life after school)

ADHD-friendly. No diagnosis is required to begin.

## What executive functioning coaching is
Executive functioning coaching is structured one-on-one support for the skills behind
all learning. It is distinct from tutoring: tutoring teaches subject content, while
executive functioning coaching teaches a student how to manage their work, their time,
and themselves. Coaching supports academic, organizational, and study skills.
