Diversified Education Services is seeking an experienced special education teacher or learning specialist to provide one-on-one executive function coaching in Greenwich and Fairfield County, CT during the 2026-27 school year. Sessions take place in students' homes or at mutually agreed-upon locations such as libraries. Most sessions are scheduled after school and in the early evening. About the Work Many of the students we work with are bright and capable but struggle to consistently translate what they know into action. They may have difficulty with organization, planning, time management, task initiation, prioritization, studying, managing assignments, or following through independently. Many also have ADHD, learning disabilities, or other learning differences. Our proprietary approach combines a relationship-based model with evidence-based educational practices. We believe evidence-based strategies are essential, but strategies alone are often not enough. Effective coaching starts with understanding the individual student and developing the trust and connection necessary for that student to engage, take ownership, and consistently put those strategies into practice. We are therefore looking for educators who are as skilled at connecting with students as they are at teaching them.
