What is it like to work at EFS?

Your Day

As an Executive Function Specialist, you will engage in one-on-one remote coaching with students to strengthen their executive functioning skills.

You will evaluate their initial executive function skills, match with an appropriate coach, and guide them through regular sessions.

You'll also facilitate Family Team Meetings to celebrate progress, identify new goals, and assign responsibilities. You will be challenged by parents and students to draw clear boundaries and maintain

Are you up for the challenge?

Your responsibility

You will be held accountable for the successful development of your students' executive function skills, their progress, and the effectiveness of the interventions you design.

You are also responsible for maintaining open and clear communication with the students, their families, and your team members.

You will need to be flexible, creative and brave -- students and families will challenge you to not only show how much you know, but how much you care.

This job is not easy, but it can be incredibly empowering, for students, families, and specialists.

Does this sound attractive to you?

Why might this not be the right fit for you?

You Struggle with Demanding Situations: If you find it difficult to work with demanding parents or have challenges in setting firm boundaries, this role might not be suitable for you. Our coaches need to maintain professional yet empathetic relationships with both students and their parents.
You Have An Inflexible Schedule: The nature of our work requires flexibility in scheduling to accommodate the varying needs of our students. If you prefer a rigid work schedule or are unable to adapt to changing time requirements, this position may not align with your preferences.
You are Frequently Traveling: Consistency and dependability are key in this role. If you are often traveling or unable to commit to a stable schedule, it could impact the continuity and effectiveness of the coaching process.
You Are Seeking a Less Challenging Role: This position can be demanding and requires a high level of professional resilience. If you are not looking for a role that challenges and pushes you to grow, this might not be the right fit.

What is the difference between an Educational Therapist and a tutor?

While a tutor generally focuses on teaching specific subject matter, an educational therapist’s focus is broader. Educational therapists work as a team with parents, teachers, and other professionals to set goals and develop an intervention plan that addresses not only academic difficulties, but also psycho-educational and socio-emotional aspects of life-long learning through an eclectic combination of individualized intervention strategies.
