About Beyond BookSmart

The nation’s leader in Executive Function coaching has been serving clients since 2006. Beyond BookSmart works with students and our WorkSmart Coaching division focuses on serving adults. Executive function coaching teaches students and adults how to organize, plan, prioritize, manage time, maintain focus, self-assess, and study efficiently. Self-management skills are increasingly important in a complex world with many distractions and competing priorities. People who learn these skills are better equipped to navigate the challenges of school and adult life. Many of our clients are bright, capable individuals in late elementary school to adults of all ages who are not achieving their potential as a result of ineffective work habits. Some have diagnoses such as ADHD or other learning differences and see coaching as excellent additional support to school-based interventions. Some of our clients have emotional challenges such as anxiety which impact their ability to work effectively. Other clients we work with have no formal diagnoses yet benefit from learning more effective ways to manage their academic or workplace demands. Our coaches work 1:1 online to help people learn how to manage their time, attention, effort, and emotions, as well as stay organized, plan and prioritize, self-advocate, and become more self-aware. Using our deep understanding of the nature of behavior change, our coaches help clients discover their own motivation to become more effective at school or at work. All of our coaches have master’s level degrees or higher (or equivalent) and have been rigorously vetted and trained, with access to over 400 tools and strategies to customize each client’s experience, according to their needs and preferences.

Beyond Booksmart was a life-saver for… Beyond Booksmart was a life-saver for my daughter during the first few years of high school. They matched her with a coach that was just perfect for her and helped organize herself, her schoolwork and her thoughts so she was able to tackle her challenges head-on. And early in her senior year, we brought BBS back on for a few months to help with the college application deadlines and they made it so simple for us to jump back in and then cancel when the services were no longer needed. I can't recommend them enough.

My Granddaughter Loved Her Coach My granddaughter loved her coach and learned so much from her and, in the beginning, we saw really nice improvement. She learned lots of strategies to get started with her homework and school projects; since she was a procrastinator, this was extremely valuable. Along with the other Executive Function strategies, she was doing her homework in a timely fashion and managing her time much better. Then Covid came, school fell apart because vitual learning happened so poorly and she stopped applying what she learned. The coach always stayed connected with us by sending information on what they had worked on and what was expected from my granddaughter. She also texted my granddaughter weekly to check that she was following through. We really couldn't ask for more.

A lifetime of benefits gained The executive function coaching that both our sons received from Beyond BookSmart literally changed their lives for the better. Not only did the coaching help them navigate academic and organizational challenges during their middle/high school years, it supported them in college and helped to develop skill sets for the working world and in life overall! We can't say enough about the team and the caring approach that benefited our sons. The investment in executive function coaching with BBS was invaluable. Years later, we still see it paying off, and the team is still just a phone call away if we ever need it.

Yes, try it. I have had two of my kids use Beyond Booksmart within the last few years. The staff and EF coaches are responsive and caring. BBS was an integral part of my daughter learning to work through her challenges. With her coach's perspective in the mix we were able to see the situation more broadly. My daughter changed from the prep school she was in to a voc tech. She is now a high school junior, an honors student, takes AP English and last summer did a two week precollege program at Harvard University. A long way from wondering if she was going to have to repeat eigth grade. My son is in college and was having executive functioning challenges. He's only been using the program for a few weeks, but seem to be getting something out of it as well. In his case he was not enthusiastic about his first match from our initial interview. BBS worked with us to find another match that he's much more responsive to.

Thank you for the "unscattering" of my work. Hello, I just wanted to make your team aware that I am so glad to have found WorkSmart Coaching. The intake process was very thorough, the coach match was excellent, and these past months have been invaluable to my work and life. I have recommended WorkSmart coaching to others, and provided your information to fellow healthcare professionals as an option for their clients.
