Full-Time: Academic, ADHD & Executive Function Coach

Creating Positive Futures•Atlanta, GA

12d•$50,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We are an Academic & ADHD coaching practice founded in 2013 to help teens and young adults earn better grades with less stress by improving their executive functioning, organization, time management, and study skills. We’re seeking positive, engaging coaches who can build trust with middle school, high school, and college students while helping them develop practical skills they can use in school and life. Most of your time will be spent in 1:1 coaching sessions, with your remaining time spent preparing for sessions, communicating with families, supporting student progress, and collaborating with our team. This is a full-time coaching role, not a therapy or tutoring role. Coaches use rapport-building, reflective listening, motivational interviewing, collaborative problem-solving, progress tracking, and accountability to help students make meaningful changes in their behavior over time. Because we work with students, coaches should expect to spend a significant portion of their week meeting with students after school and/or on weekends. Most schedules include several weekday evenings between 4 PM and 8 PM and at least one weekend day, with some flexibility based on client needs.
