Engaging Minds
About
Engaging Minds is an executive function coaching center in Newton that teaches students the skills behind schoolwork: organizing materials, planning and managing time, handling transitions, staying motivated and following through. Instructors work one-on-one with students from fourth grade through college, using each student’s own assignments to practice strategies so the skills stick and homework gets done. The goal is to create independent, confident learners who know how to get unstuck in any subject.
The methodology emphasizes problem-solving that applies across reading, math, science, social studies and writing, rather than tutoring in a single subject. Middle school, high school and college students usually meet with their coach online, sharing screens and working through school portals together, while limited in-person coaching is offered for younger children. Adults can join one-on-one or small group coaching to prioritize tasks and boost productivity, and EM Academy offers enrichment electives.
