Coaching Executive Function and Study Skills
My name is Linda Schurman. I am the sole owner of Schurman’s Skills for Success LLC. For forty years I was both a teacher and counselor for students in 5th through 8th grade. I have worked with many students on executive function skills and study skills. Helping students be the best they can be and achieve not only academically but in life is a great passion of mine. I have left the school setting and started this business in the fall of 2021 so that I can give individual time to students. I look forward to working with students that need this support.
Linda Schurman has successfully encouraged and taught my son how to successfully use his planner. We have been battling over his lack of time management all year. Thankfully, Linda took that responsibility away from us and showed our son how to project realistic goals and balance the expected assignments. He is now responsible for his calendar. (His work, his calendar, his responsibility, his consequences).Â
We have been grateful for her suggestions and wisdom. She coaches our son, and we focus on being relational parents instead of nagging fools.

Mrs. Schurman was instrumental in helping our son learn to organize his schoolwork and prioritize his time in order to get his grades back on track. He respected and responded well to her gentle, yet no-nonsense appproach. Within a few months, we saw improvement in initiative and his ability to study more effectively.

Schurman’s Skills for Success has helped our daughter manage her time during the week so that she can stay ahead of her projects and assignments. We have also seen improvement in our daughter’s confidence in advocating for herself in the classroom and during her extracurricular activities.
