We had a great experience with Staying Ahead of the Game! We recently had a session to help our seventh grader get organized for the new school year. As a competitive athlete taking advanced classes, she’s balancing increased schoolwork with a busy practice schedule, so this was exactly what she needed. Evan was incredibly thorough and patient, walking her through how to get set up, stay organized, and better manage everything on her plate. You can tell that every detail of the program has been thoughtfully designed with students in mind. I truly wish something like this were utilized in every school. These are skills that can make such a difference for students, especially as their academic and extracurricular responsibilities increase. We’re so glad we found Staying Ahead of the Game and would highly recommend it!

Staying Ahead of the Game has been an incredible resource for my daughter. Her academic coach, Morgan, has truly been exceptional. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and kind, but she has also helped my daughter make tremendous progress with her organizational skills and overall confidence. Beyond academics, Morgan has built a wonderful relationship with her, and I am so grateful for the genuine care, encouragement, and support she has provided. My daughter also worked with her Physics tutor, Oscar, who was equally knowledgeable, patient, and caring. With her demanding schedule of after-school activities and performances at HSPVA, Oscar consistently went above and beyond to accommodate her availability. His flexibility, dedication, and willingness to support her success made a tremendous difference, and I truly appreciated his kindness. I wholeheartedly recommend Staying Ahead of the Game. Their academic coaches and tutors are not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but they are also compassionate, encouraging, and genuinely invested in their students' success. They have made such a positive impact on our family, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they have done.

My son has used SAOTG for the last two years and we have been incredibly pleased with the help he’s received. He’s now entering high school and he’s more organized, more focused, and he now creates his own schedule and priorities, and executes on these well. We try to do 2 sessions a week, and even though he’s much more independent now, we still find the sessions very helpful to keep him on track. I can’t say enough about our paired tutor, or about the leadership of SAOTG, who always take a child-first approach. Thank you!

Evan Weinberger delivered an engaging and impactful presentation for our Bellaire Compass Mentorship Project students. He connected with them authentically and provided practical tools they can apply to their future. We’re grateful for his time and look forward to continued partnership.

Working with Evan and his staff has been a great experience. Their knowledge, professionalism and care for students is unmatched. Information is tailored to each students needs and unique to their capabilities. Communication was timely and collaboration was key.

Jack Segal Academy has had a wonderful experience working with Staying Ahead of the Game in preparing our 5th grade students for the ISEE each year. Their team does an outstanding job balancing strong academic preparation with encouragement and confidence-building for our students. The instructors are professional, organized, and highly knowledgeable about the test, and they work thoughtfully with students to strengthen both skills and test-taking strategies. We truly value this partnership and appreciate the care and expertise they bring to supporting our students during an important step in their academic journey.

Look no further!!!! Game changing! So much more than a homework helper- SAOTG employs tutors that care about the whole child, not just their assignments, and challenging them to be the best they can be! Tutors with the right values that you want to have in your home and part of your family life! Can’t recommend enough!!!!

Coach Tia was an amazing tutor and really helped me with my time management and how to plan study sessions. She even helped with college applications! It was an overall stellar experience working with her.

We are incredibly grateful to Coach Tia for the support she provided our son. She worked closely with him on managing assignments, checking for completion and understanding, building organizational skills, and teaching him how to communicate effectively with his teachers. Coach Tia also supported us as parents. She guided us through the process of getting help from the school, educated us on our rights and what we were entitled to by law, and advocated for our family in all communication with the school regarding his needs and accommodations. Thanks to her, we were able to secure supports we were truly desperate for. In just a few months, our son went from a failing, disorganized student to someone who is motivated, confident, and functioning successfully at school. The transformation has been remarkable. I highly recommend Coach Tia to any family navigating similar challenges. She walks with you through a very difficult journey and helps lead your child and your family toward success.

SAOTG comes highly recommended. Their team is attentive and careful in their assessment and in developing a customized plan tailored to your child's needs and goals. We have utilized their coaching and tutoring services to develop and maintain essential skills, focusing on executive functioning, and the experience has been very positive. We are already seeing beneficial results at school, as well as improvements in self-esteem and overall confidence. We plan to continue working with SAOTG for SAT/ACT preparation.

This business is beautiful inside and out! The people who work here are so kind, caring, and professional! They definitely practice what they teach. They are very hard working, organized, efficient, and effective. One of the best tutoring companies I’ve encountered!

I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Evan Weinberger, founder and CEO of Staying Ahead of the Game (SAOTG), and it’s been a truly positive experience. Evan has created a practice that goes far beyond traditional tutoring by focusing on research-driven executive functioning skills (organization, time management, study strategies, and self-advocacy) that support lasting academic success. I’ve genuinely enjoyed working with Evan. Their commitment to student success, attention to individual needs, and emphasis on real-world skills make SAOTG a remarkable resource for families seeking meaningful academic support!

Excellent service. Been using for years

Our experience with SAOTG has been exceptional. Their team is incredibly positive, friendly, and genuinely invested in student success. They took the time to truly understand my daughter’s needs and matched her with tutors who were the perfect fit. She not only met the goals they set together—she exceeded them. Most recently, she completed an intensive, one-month SAT prep program, which strengthened her skills, boosted her confidence, and helped her raise her SAT score by 130 points. We will continue to use their tutoring services whenever needed and highly recommend them to any family looking for personalized, effective academic and executive functioning support!

Evan from SAOTG is absolutely fabulous! He is so knowledgable about executive functioning skills and has so many great strategies for students, teachers, and parents. Highly recommend reaching out to SAOTG for any EF needs!

I have been so impressed by the knowledge and expertise of the SAOTG team. We have had the pleasure of collaborating with Evan, and he always offers so many practical strategies and suggestions for helping students! I've already learned so much!

Evan spoke to our group of freshmen and he gave useful tips on organization, time management, and studying. Evan is an engaging speaker and his presentation was perfect for our group!

SAOTG is an incredible organization with dedicated coaches and staff who truly go above and beyond for kids and young adults. The coaches genuinely love supporting students, always putting the child’s best interest as the top priority. This is the place to turn if your child needs guidance with life skills such as time management, organization, executive functioning, or any other essential life skills.

How lucky we are to have Evan and his team at SAOTG! We needed to find very specific support in a very short time frame. Evan was easy to connect with and quickly put a plan in place. It was crystal clear that Evan heard the specifics of what my son was asking for, and found the right coach to assist him. Tia has been terrific!! I’m so impressed with their conscientious approach, too. There has been no push for extra services or more hours - just a focus on what was needed. I can’t say enough good things about SAOTG!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Evan Weinberger for several years, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most dedicated and knowledgeable executive functioning coaches in the field. Through his work at Staying Ahead of the Game, Evan has helped countless students—especially those with ADHD—build the skills and confidence they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom. Evan brings a wealth of experience and insight to his coaching, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about the families he works with. He’s not only a true expert in executive functioning and ADHD, but also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. His passion for helping young people thrive is evident in everything he does. Houston is lucky to have him!

Staying Ahead of the Game is the first place that I think of when referring a family for support. Evan and his team have established effective support strategies and interventions for those struggling with executive functions. In addition, they are good people. I can't recommend them more.

SAOTG has been a great experience for our family! My two children have each worked with their own separate tutor, and both have really helped them to get organized and work through areas that they were stumbling on. We also had one meeting with Samantha to help my son prep for a new private school admissions interview the NEXT DAY, and he aced it thanks to he help!

Could not be more thankful for the entire SAOTG team, from the initial assessment to all the coaches. Special thank you to our amazing and patient coach, Ms. Tia Murray. Our student was unorganized, completely lost with assignments, and resistant to any intervention. She is now fully independent and stays on top of all her work. Update almost a year later: I have been sharing our success story with executive functioning coaching at SAOTG to anyone and everyone who ever mentions their children struggling with managing homework and organization skills. What a difference this has made in our lives! Really do give this a try.
