Executive Functioning Learning Specialist (Remote)

At The Ladder Method, we believe coaching is about far more than helping students complete homework. We teach students how to learn, how to think, and how to build the executive functioning skills that lead to lifelong success.

We partner closely with families to provide individualized support that empowers students with learning differences to become more independent learners.
We are proud to serve many of New York City's most accomplished families and are seeking compassionate, highly professional coaches who share our commitment to excellence.
Our team includes graduates of the nation's leading universities, but what distinguishes our educators most is their warmth, professionalism, sound judgment, and ability to build meaningful relationships while maintaining clear expectations and accountability.
