Courses in Time Management, Organization, and Planning Skills for the Bend, Oregon Area

Through my classes, time can be your friend.

Picture
Are you looking for a tutor for your adolescent child who needs help in school? Are you an adult with ADHD or in a relationship with someone with ADHD? If you have a child who struggles with school work, can't get homework turned in or live with someone who is on screen and can't get off, there are teaching strategies that can improve the working memory and help to young people and adults alike to develop executive function skills.

My classes are geared towards middle schoolers, high schoolers, college students and adults who want to be successful in school, at work, and in life, but are struggling with time management, organization, and planning issues. Whether they're seeking to improve their classwork, prepare for college, "up their game" in sports, get a promotion at work, get along better with their spouse or boss, or they just want to have a better handle on life, my classes can make a significant difference at a critical time.

​It can be frustrating being a teenager, or an adult with ADHD like symptoms, but it can also be frustrating being a parent or spouse. You wonder - why can't my child get their homework done? Why can't they get better grades? Why are they only motivated to play video games? But here's the reality: your kid isn’t lazy - and your kid definitely isn't dumb. Their brains just haven't developed yet! 

Or, for your spouse with ADHD, you wonder, why do they keep forgetting what I've asked them to do? They just don't seem to be listening to me. I feel like I'm parenting my spouse and I want to get back to being in a partnership with them. 

Getting your child or partner back on track is a team effort and that's where my classes come in. Through a simple and approachable process, you'll both learn strategies so your child or partner can manage their time more effectively and get things done - what we refer to as "executive functioning." As an added benefit, you  will discover some great planning and organizational tips that apply to "adult living" as well.

Some of these hands-on strategies include the following:
  • You and your child or spouse will learn how to “see” time by using analog(!) clocks and watches. (Yes. There is still a place for analog in our increasingly digital world.)
  • You and your child or spouse will learn to use various kinds of timers as a way to understand the time each task takes. 
  • You and your child or spouse will learn how to create daily, weekly, and monthly calendars to visually understand how to plan ahead. ​ ​
  • You will all have a better understanding of each other's brains and how we are all wired differently. Compassion and understanding can often be the first step to working through Executive Function challenges with your child or spouse.

Coursework: The Sklar Process​® and Sara Wiener Consulting Unite

My coursework is based on a combination of The Sklar Process® and Sara's unique perspective, focusing on the client's strengths and discovering creative ways to develop functional strategies to get things done.  My coaching goes far beyond traditional time management training.

​I also offer refresher classes for a "tune up" after a student/family has gone through the class series. Additionally, if your student is on their way to college, contact me about a special pre-college course and online coaching from afar.

  • Four individual family classes. The first session is 90 minutes and the following three sessions are 60 minutes.

I'm happy to offer a free 30-minute consultation to see if we're a fit.

Note: I come to you. No need to get in your car!  I offer my tutoring services for you and your family in your home. (If, for some reason this won't work, a Bend, Oregon library room can be reserved by the client in advance of scheduled sessions. An additional travel charge may be added if you live over 25 minutes from downtown Bend. Oregon.) 

References are provided upon request. My cancellation policy and professional disclosure statement will be presented after your free consultation if my services are desired. If your student has a referring therapist, doctor, counselor, or school professional, I may ask for a signed consent to share information, (ROI- Release of Information). This is optional based on your wishes.
