Is This Your Child?
If you found yourself nodding while reading these… you’re not alone.
Starting Homework Is a Battle
They know they have homework… but somehow an hour disappears before they even begin. Every assignment feels overwhelming.
Organization Feels Impossible
Their backpack is overflowing, assignments get lost, deadlines sneak up. Their room, folders, and thoughts often feel scattered.
They Know What To Do...
They just can’t seem to actually do it consistently. They’re intelligent… but getting going, staying on task, and finishing work is hard.

What Are Executive Functions?
Executive functions are the mental skills that help us plan, organize, start tasks, manage our emotions, remember information, and follow through on goals.
Think of executive functions as the brain’s “management system.” They help students decide what to do, when to do it, and how to stay on track when distractions or challenges arise.
While some students naturally develop these skills with ease, many benefit from direct instruction and practice. Executive function coaching provides personalized strategies that help students strengthen these skills over time.

Skills We Build Together
Why Choose HiTech Yeti?
For nearly two decades, I’ve worked with students of all learning styles—from children just beginning elementary school to college students studying advanced programming and mathematics.
Over the years, one pattern became impossible to ignore. Many students didn’t struggle because they lacked intelligence—they struggled because no one had ever taught them how to organize their work, manage their time, or approach challenging tasks effectively.
Executive function coaching grew naturally out of years spent helping students develop these skills alongside math, science, programming, and problem solving.

My 13-year-old daughter took the Minecraft Electrical Engineering class with Chris at HiTech Yeti. It was a fabulous class. Chris explained clearly and patiently and kept my daughter engaged and enthusiastic. She learned all about logic gates, repeaters, switches, etc. I can’t say enough good things about the class.
- Samantha Cooper
My son enjoyed this class and the teacher. He is looking forward to more Minecraft advanced classes!
- Yasodara Córdova
My son had several of his friends join him to launch summer with Dungeons and Dragons camp. They all LOVED it! It was a huge hit! Now we own the board game the kids are finding ways to play together remotely. We're signing up for another week of D & D camp along with a few friends!
- Kristen Paral
I highly recommend!! My son has taken both the Minecraft and Dungeons and Dragons class with Chris. He was patient and a fun instructor. During the Minecraft class, my son's game got corrupted and Chris took many extra steps to make sure that he didn't miss out on anything. My kid is asking to take another class!
- Ari Wagner
My son took Minecraft Electrical Engineering class with Chris. My son had great experience in the class, he learned a lot and had fun. Chris teaches very advanced EE topics through engaging games and projects. After clases, my son would come out and constantly talk about amazing things he has done in the class.
- Danijela Bedic Babic
I highly recommend!! My 13yr old son absolutely loved the D&D camp. It was his 1st time playing and really enjoyed it. It has sparked a new hobby for him! Thanks HY!
- Marc Yanga
This teacher, Chris made it so fun for me and my friends. He went above and beyond and made it so special and fun. I have done many Minecraft camps and %100 this was the best.
- Meredith Haberfeld
Chris truly went above and beyond and delivered a fun and informative gaming and coding experience for my daughter. He both worked with us on a schedule overlap we had one day, and did an excellent job communicating. He also did a great job handling it when there was a small kerfuffle/confusion in play with another kid, and my daughter was enthusiastic enough to want to do another week.
- Jennifer Harris
Truly excellent class! My son loved the class, teacher Chris, and the structure of the class time which allowed for some play time with the other students. Was very fun - thank you!!
