Tutoring Fixes the Subject.
Coaching Fixes the System.
Today’s brightest students are often overwhelmed by hundreds of unread notifications from their school portals and the natural time blindness that makes a massive AP History project look like a twenty-minute task. When a heavy honors workload meets a cluttered digital landscape like Infinite Campus, Microsoft Teams, or Canvas, even the most capable students can freeze.Signs your student is struggling with executive function:
They have 100+ unread notifications sitting in Teams, Canvas, or school email, so critical updates are lost in the noise.Their Google Drive is filled with dozens of unnamed, unorganized files, so they waste time finding or recreating work they already did.Homework stretches past midnight, not because the work is too hard, but because they don't know how to break a massive project into small, manageable daily tasks.The assignment is 100% finished and sitting on their computer, but your student forgot the final click to submit it online, leaving a zero on the portal for an assignment they actually completed.
As Director, I bridge the gap between your child's true potential and the structural demands of modern high school.The immediate relief for your family is simple: the daily burden of tracking deadlines and managing messy files shifts entirely off your shoulders and onto mine. You can end the daily friction over school notifications.Meanwhile, your student receives premier, doctoral-level strategy and mentorship to execute their work independently, building the exact self-management habits they will need to thrive at elite universities.
Why Traditional Hourly Tutoring Fails Stalled Students
My solution to the structural flaw in the traditional 60-minute model
Traditional coaching forces students into rigid, 60-minute weekly blocks. While that looks organized on a calendar, it fundamentally fights a teenager's mindset.A bright, overwhelmed student dreads sitting with an adult for a full hour, so they mentally check out, wasting some or all of that time. Plus, when the perfect plan made early in the week falls apart by Thursday afternoon, a weekly coach won't find out until the missing assignments have already piled up.High-achieving students need a fast, responsive routine that fits the reality of their school week.I designed my practice so we never waste time trying to fill an hour, and I never let your student drift for a full seven days. By splitting the week into two precisely timed, high-energy checkpoints, we maintain real-time momentum, catch digital errors early, and beat Friday deadlines.
The Framework
The Initial Digital Workflow Audit
A collaborative, 60-minute virtual diagnostic evaluation.
Before we begin regular coaching, we start with a comprehensive diagnostic session to pinpoint exactly where the systems are breaking down.The First 15 Minutes: You, your student, and I meet together to look at where the daily friction is happening at home and map out your family's specific goals.The Remaining 45 Minutes: I work one-on-one with your student, screen-sharing to evaluate their digital workspace. Together, we find the misconfigured notifications and digital disorganization that causes them to freeze up and procrastinate.The Action Plan: Within 24 hours of our session, I send you a personalized brief detailing your student’s hidden friction points, an evaluation of their current setup, and actionable steps to help them regain control.Next Steps: This initial audit is a required first step for all new families before we discuss ongoing semester coaching.

The Summer Workspace Reset
Executed across June and July to prevent the summer slide.
Running through June and July, this program ensures your student is prepared to hit the ground running when school starts.We meet virtually for one 30-minute deep-clean session each week to purge the past year's digital clutter, map out a stress-free timeline for summer assignments, and set up their digital workspace for the upcoming year, so your student walks in on day one completely unshakeable.Roster Priority: Families enrolled in my summer program receive automatic priority status for the fall semester. August enrollment is subject to remaining availability.

The Semester Momentum Framework
A split-week routine built for consistent execution.
I split the week into two precisely timed, rapid-fire touchpoints engineered to match a teenager's attention span and cognitive stamina.Monday Launch (45 Mins): Your student and I meet virtually via live screen-share to conduct a thorough deep-clean of their primary academic portals (Infinite Campus, Microsoft Teams, or Canvas). Together, we consolidate scattered teacher updates, clear out digital clutter in Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive, and map out their entire week's deadlines onto a highly visible, spatial calendar. We actively initiate their highest-friction tasks right on the call, establishing a clear, actionable game plan before the school week has a chance to get away from them.Thursday Check-In (15 Mins): We execute a rapid screen-share session to audit portals, verify digital submissions, and make last-minute study or work plans. We keep this meeting intentionally brief and high-energy to build momentum, lock in a plan for Friday tests, and meet weekend deadlines.Friday Progress Brief: I email you a concise, data-driven update detailing your student's weekly trends and progress. I provide this regular transparency so you can stay fully informed without ever having to play the role of the micromanager.

System Teacher of the Year | AP & Special Education Educator
I specialize in Executive Function Coaching for high-achieving teens who are struggling to manage the demands of rigorous academic tracks. Having spent more than 20 years in virtual and face-to-face high school classrooms, I have seen firsthand how chaotic digital learning platforms can either empower a student or paralyze them.My work bridges the gap between learning science and modern technology. I don't just help students manage their homework; I teach them how to design a practical digital workflow that organizes their minds and builds genuine independence.Because I maintain an active role as an educational leader and do not run a high-volume agency, I intentionally limit my private coaching to a selective circle of families each semester. This ensures your student receives my direct, doctoral-level oversight, uniquely tailored to handle the heavy AP, IB, and Honors workloads common in the region's top public and private schools.
Practice Boundaries & Exclusions
To ensure every student receives a premium, highly personalized level of attention, I limit my coaching practice to a small number of families each semester. Admissions operate on a rolling basis, and once my capacity is reached, qualified students are placed on a priority waitlist.This practice is designed specifically for capable, high-achieving students managing rigorous academic tracks who are ready to actively partner with me to build their own independent systems.My expertise is strictly focused on structural organization, digital workflow management, and execution skills. I do not provide subject-matter tutoring, medical or behavioral therapy, or specialized support for severe clinical needs.

TERMS OF SERVICE1. Institutional Exclusion & Location Firewall
Dr. Leah Franklin, Ed.D. / DrLeahFranklin.com operates in strict compliance with local educational conflict-of-interest regulations and ethics policies. Under no circumstances are private coaching services available to students currently enrolled in, or residing within the district boundaries of, the Director's primary institutional employer. By submitting an application or initiating a subscription, the Client certifies that the student does not violate local conflict-of-interest parameters. Discovery of an institutional conflict will result in the immediate and retroactive termination of services without a refund for the current billing cycle.2. Capacity & Admissions Discretion
To maintain an elite, high-touch case management standard, active enrollment is subject to seasonal capacity limitations determined solely by the Director. Admission operates on a highly selective, rolling basis. The Practice reserves the absolute right to refuse service to any applicant or to terminate an active client relationship at any time, for any reason, at the sole discretion of the Director. If the Director terminates a framework subscription mid-month, a prorated refund based strictly on the full weeks remaining in the current billing cycle will be issued, and all further coaching obligations will cease immediately.3. Subscription, Cancellation, & Services are billed as a flat-rate monthly retainer. By initiating a subscription, the Client authorizes the Practice to securely store their credit card on file and automatically charge it on the first (1st) day of each calendar month for the upcoming month of service. Subscription rates are locked upon active enrollment and guaranteed for the duration of the current academic term; subsequent terms may be subject to market rate adjustments at the sole discretion of the Director.The monthly retainer represents a flat-rate seasonal enrollment fee and is not calculated based on the number of individual sessions or calendar days in a given month. Monthly retainer rates remain constant throughout the academic term and are not prorated or discounted for scheduled school holidays, institutional closures, or academic breaks (including Thanksgiving, Winter/New Year, and Spring breaks), during which all active coaching sessions, formal communication, and administrative services will completely pause to allow students and the Director an intentional reset.To pause or cancel services, the Client must provide a strict 30-day written notice via email. Mid-month cancellation requests will apply to the following calendar month's billing cycle, and virtual coaching sessions will continue through the end of that final paid month. No partial refunds, prorations, or roll-overs are provided for missed student sessions, illness, vacations, or late arrivals. The retainer secures the student's dedicated roster spot and the Director's weekly availability; missed touchpoints are forfeited. At the sole discretion of the Director, and strictly subject to availability, a makeup session may occasionally be offered as a courtesy, but is never guaranteed.To maintain an elite standard of care, active enrollment is structured as a continuous annual cycle. Roster slots are strictly capped. To guarantee academic scaffolding and roster continuity into the upcoming Fall term, subscriptions must remain active through the summer months (June and July) via the Summer Workspace Reset framework. Voluntarily pausing or canceling a subscription for the summer term constitutes an immediate forfeiture of the student's active slot, which will be instantly reallocated to the priority waitlist for the upcoming school year.4.
