Executive functioning skills—sounds impressive, right? Think of them as the brain’s command center, responsible for organizing thoughts, setting goals, managing time, and adapting to new tasks. They work like a maestro leading an orchestra, ensuring all cognitive processes stay in sync.
When these skills aren’t fully developed, students may find it difficult to keep up with assignments, focus during class, or effectively manage their workload.
That’s where our X-Skills program comes in. Designed to strengthen these essential abilities, it helps students build the tools they need to learn efficiently, stay organized, and develop habits for long-term success.
Introducing X-Skills
Picture a world where your child tackles schoolwork and daily challenges with confidence, resilience, and a sense of self-assurance. That’s the future we help shape at Tutor Doctor Santa Monica through our X-Skills Coaching Program—empowering students with not only academic excellence but also the critical life skills they need to thrive.
Over the course of this 12-week foundational program, we go beyond teaching—we empower. Your child will build essential life skills like goal setting, time management, organization, and focus, equipping them for success in and out of the classroom.
With the guidance of a dedicated coach, each student will develop personalized strategies and habits that align with their unique strengths and needs. Step by step, we’re fostering independence and lifelong skill development, ensuring they’re prepared for whatever comes next.

X-Skills Coaching vs. Tutoring: What’s the Difference?
Tutoring focuses on helping students master specific subjects, such as math or English. If a student is struggling with understanding concepts or applying what they’ve learned in class, a tutor provides targeted academic support to bridge the gap.
X-Skills Coaching, on the other hand, goes beyond subject-specific learning. It’s about building essential, transferable skills that help students stay on top of their workload—like managing assignments, organizing school materials, and setting and achieving goals. These executive functioning skills are the foundation for academic success and lifelong learning.
For students in Santa Monica, our X-Skills program provides the tools they need to become confident, independent learners—both in school and in everyday life.
