Executive Function Coach / Learning Specialist

Part-time · Hybrid · At least two in-person shifts per week at our McLean, VA center

About The StudyPro

The StudyPro (thestudypro.com) is an executive function and study skills center in McLean, VA. We help students in 4th grade through college become independent, confident learners. Our focus is learning how to learn.

We’re looking for a warm, student-centered Learning Specialist, Executive Function Coach or Special Education professional who understands executive function (EF) deeply and can support students with underdeveloped EF skills and study strategies.

What you’ll do

Help students build essential EF and study skills:

• Time management and planning

• Task initiation and prioritization

• Managing emotions and academic anxiety

• Study strategies such as note-taking, test prep and chunking work

Partner with students and parents:

• Use a neutral, curious approach to uncover what’s really getting in the way

• Identify underlying EF challenges and explain strategies clearly

• Write thoughtful after-session notes that show families how we see their child’s challenges and strengths

We handle the logistics so you can focus on coaching. We fill your schedule, handle billing, and train you in our approach.

Schedule and pay

• $50/hour

• In person: at least 2 shifts per week, Sunday through Thursday (Sundays 11 am–5 pm; Monday–Thursday 3:30–8:30 pm or 4–9 pm). Up to 5 in-person days available.

• Remote: additional online sessions can be added on other days if you’d like more hours.

• Minimum of about 10 in-person hours per week (can be more), with the option to grow to 18+ hours by adding remote sessions.

What you bring

• A Master’s or Ph.D. in Special Education, School Psychology, Learning Disabilities, or a related field

• Significant experience supporting middle and high school students with EF challenges in a specialized learning-support role

• An understanding of EF that goes beyond organization and planning, including the cognitive and emotional barriers behind it

• A warm, encouraging style and the ability to build strong relationships with students and families

• Reliability and a consistent weekly schedule

• Comfort with technology and strong writing skills for parent communication

• Openness to feedback and to learning our coaching methods
