Kate has been an incredible help to my daughter. She pays attention to what is working or not working and will adjust her methods as needed. Kate has taken the time to really get to know my daughter and understand her challenges while also being very positive and pointing out her strengths. She is patient and genuinely cares. We are lucky to have found her!

Kate is an amazing tutor. She was always extremely kind, patient, and dedicated to helping me with English, Math, and even Biology. She helped me significantly improve my writing skills. She always knew how to help me express my ideas and properly organize my essays. If you need help with any English class or with writing in general, I would highly recommend Kate.

Kate at Study Sense is an amazing tutor. She is extremely patient, professional and kind. Kate went above and beyond when she was tutoring our daughter for many years. My husband and I are forever grateful for the positive and impact Kate had on our daughter learning. We felt that Kate truly cared and was able to make connection to our daughter. We highly recommend Kate to anyone.

Meet the Heart Behind STUDY SENSE

Hi! I’m Kate Lamanna — Executive Functioning Coach and Learning Strategist.

Before I became an Executive Functioning Coach, I spent years watching smart, capable kids fall apart over simple homework tasks — and parents lose their patience trying to help. Like many families, I believed motivation or willpower was the issue. But what I learned changed everything: it’s not about motivation — it’s about missing executive functioning skills.

That discovery led me to create the ADHD Independence Method, a system that teaches parents and kids how to work with the ADHD brain instead of against it.If you’ve been feeling like homework time has become a nightly battlefield — filled with reminders, frustration, and tears — you’re exactly where you need to be.

You’ve probably heard a lot of advice: “Use a reward chart,” “set a timer,” “they just need more discipline.” But no one tells you what to do when those strategies stop working, or why your child still can’t seem to start or finish assignments without your constant help.

That’s exactly why I created The ADHD Independence Method — to give you a clear, practical roadmap that works with your child’s brain, not against it.

The ADHD Independence Method

A step-by-step roadmap for parents who are done fighting about homework.

If your child can do the work—but can’t start it, stay with it, or finish it without you… you’re not alone. This is executive functioning, not laziness or defiance.

Inside the course, you’ll learn how to:

  1. Reduce nightly reminders and power struggles
  2. Build routines your child can actually follow
  3. Teach “start + finish” skills (task initiation, follow-through, time awareness)
  4. Support motivation without constant nagging

Ways To Work Together!

The ADHD Independence Method

A parent course that gives you a clear plan, tools, and routines to end homework battles and build independence.

One-to-One Executive Functioning Coaching for Students in Grades 5-12

Personalized, online coaching for students who need direct support with organization, time management, task initiation, and follow-through.

What are Executive
Functioning Skills?

  • These skills function like the brain’s “air traffic control” system.
  • They manage focus, following directions, and handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
  • For students with ADHD, skills like planning, organization, and emotional control are often under-developed.
  • This under-development leads to daily “Homework Battle” friction.

What is Executive
Function Coaching?

  • Coaching is a collaborative partnership, not just tutoring
  • A coach focuses on how to learn (process), while a tutor helps with what to learn (content).
  • We work to build sustainable habits and improve self-awareness.
  • We develop the executive function tools students need to succeed independently.

Who This Course Is For?

This course is for parents of students (typically in grades 5-12) who:

  • Have ADHD (or ADHD-like executive functioning challenges)
  • Understand the material, but struggle to start, follow through, and turn work in
  • Get overwhelmed, avoid homework, or melt down when tasks feel too big
  • Need a plan that builds skills and independence—not more lectures or sticker charts
