We are a group of thoughtful coaches and learning experts. We work across the US with students ages 10-22. Our students have ADHD and/or executive functioning challenges. Many of them struggle academically.

We offer ADHD/EF coaching, academic tutoring, test prep tutoring, and our signature Homework Partners service.

Through one-on-one partnerships, our students not only get better grades, but also experience less conflict with their parents. They also grow more self-confident.

“Elena and her team are an incredible asset to a student's learning. Any student I refer to them has seen success and improvement in their academics. Elena in particular has a way of connecting with her clients which makes her easy and fun to work with. If Stronger Foundations has time in their schedule to work with your child, don't miss out!”

-Director of the Learning Center at St. Ignatius College Prep

“Elena is an amazing tutor! I had done all of the GRE practice books and had private tutors and was unhappy with my verbal score after the first time I took the exam. I then worked with Elena and increased my verbal score by 8 points! I attribute all of my success to Elena. She is very conscientious, thorough and knowledgeable. Elena knows all of the tricks and strategies necessary for the exam and will ensure that you have mastered these skills and all concepts before test day. I highly recommend Elena if you want to do well on the GRE verbal section!”

“Writing isn't my strong suit, so I was struggling with how to effectively communicate my ideas through my personal statement. However, after receiving coaching and one-on-one help from Stronger Foundations Coaching (shoutout to Elena!), I can happily say that I was able to produce an essay that fully translated all my ideas onto paper. In the process, I picked up new writing skills that allow me to stay focused on the message I want to get across as well as how to use language and sentence structure to clearly communicate my thoughts. I not only could apply these skills to the rest of my college writing process, but could also apply these skills to writing in all my classes as well. Throughout the whole process, and still now, I truly felt supported in both an academic and mental/emotional sense.”

“Elena worked her magic with our son for the personal essays and short questions required for boarding schools' admission. The level of the essays submitted is beyond what we thought our son could write, even with our help. With Elena's methodic and empathic guidance, she helped our son identify key differentiating topics to highlight his unique personality, but also taught him what a good essay is. It was not only coaching but great tutoring, as I can see him applying his new skills for school writing assignments!”
