We have been so pleased with SAOTG and our tutor, Candace. She has helped so much with organization, time management, and academics - and does it all with a smile! We’ve seen improved time management skills and an increase in motivation which has resulted in higher grades and self confidence. We’re so happy we found SAOTG and Candace!

I got tutoring for my PSAT, and my score improved by a lot! Samantha Kata helped me prepare for the test, and made me feel ready for it. She was always patient and helped me work through the difficult problems. Big thanks to SAOTG for all their test prep help!

Evan came to speak to the senior class of our YMSL chapter about study skills, organization and the transition from high school to college. He focused on strategies such as time management and work organization in order to maximize productivity and achieve a healthy work-life balance.

I went to one of their talks with an open mind to hear about their approach, I’m so happy I did! Best invested hour of my life when it comes down how to manage my kids and my parent scheduled when it comes to school curriculum.Tiny strategies make a huge different in discipline and less fighting when it comes down to homework. If you have the opportunity to go to one, do! No regrets 🙂
We have had great success with Staying Ahead of the Game. They are quick to respond to all issues and have made time to address problems that have come up. They communicate well with my teenage son and he feels heard and supported. James is his current tutor and my sons initial reaction, was- "This guy is the real deal." High praise coming from a kid with years of tutorial experience.

I heard Evan give presentation about helping kids improve their executive functioning skills at my son's school. I learned many useful techniques but I knew that my teen had to hear it directly from Evan in order to implement them.My son did a 2-hour session with Evan where they put together binders for his classes and learned how to organize his schoolwork going forward. He learned how to use a planner and how that's different from a school portal. He learned when, where and for how long it's best to do homework.To make sure the new skills become a habit, we will do a few sessions with one of the coaches on the SAOTG team.Highly recommend!

Excellent academic coaching and tutoring service! Highly recommend.
I've been working with Samantha as soon as I started college and started achieving grades that I never thought I would've been able to achieve if I were to have done it myself.

We’ve had a great experience with Staying Ahead of the Game (SAOTG) and our tutor Alec (who is the best ever). Matching a tutor to your child’s personality, learning style, and educational goals is the first and most important step in their process, and they take it seriously. My son actually enjoys his time with his tutor, who has helped him improve his grades, plan ahead, and organize his life. Additionally, SAOTG is great about working around my son’s demanding and time-intensive sports schedule. We couldn’t have successfully (without some family stress) made it to this point in high school without Alec’s guidance and SAOTG.

Evan and his tutors are the best! Highly recommend. They are incredibly supportive of our kids and understanding of our kids' learning differences. Evan's tutors go beyond academic and executive functioning coaching. Last year they gave our kids (ages 10 and 13) confidence to attend a new school with different teaching styles and a new math program. We found our kids' tutors to be attentive, organized and versatile. Evan personally jumped in whenever we needed help, and he took the time to get to know our family's needs. Our kids' grades went up and our kids are more organized and motivated knowing that their tutors believe in them.
Samantha was such a positive influence to my son - she gave him the skills and confidence to apply, interview, and start a new job!

I have had the best time as an Academic Coach with SAOTG! Working with the families & students has been really fulfilling, and added a sense of community and appreciation in my life. The staff also make sure to take good care of their coaches: They communicate exceptionally well, and they keep a nice stock of snacks available in their office!

Our experience with SAOTG has been amazing. Starting with Evan who helped us understand what executive functions are and how they play in our life while being empathetic and good to connect with my teenager. My son’s organization and time management has highly improved since he started his coaching and most important, due to this, his anxiety at school has also gone down significantly. The coaches are very professional and well trained to work with teenagers. The methodology they use is robust, creative and best of all, with grate results.

I simply love SAOTG! The owner Evan is a man of integrity with a single purpose in mind -- helping students meet with success. After being an educator for 25 years myself, I have chosen SAOTG to help my son prep for his ACT. They chose the perfect person to coach my son through what could be a very stressful time. Most tutors have the brains, but not all can connect with young people. At SAOTG, these tutors get kids! They understand the pressure students are under and know how to alleviate that stress through guided practice and know-how. When our tutor, Alec, left our house after the first meeting, my 16-year-old said, "Man, I'm impressed with how together he is." And that's coming from a teenage boy; he recognized that Alec knows his stuff. Alec was very personable and instilled a lot of confidence in my son. After carefully reviewing his diagnostic, Alec created a targeted plan of study and practice. He created review packets and reference sheets, and he gave my son manageable practice to work on until their next meeting. I highly recommend this tutoring company for any students needing Executive Functioning help, test prep, or subject area/course content help. They are the real deal!

My pre-teen and teen really enjoy working with their tutor Camiel. She is thorough and has helped the boys become more organized. I loved how she gave us a list of supplies to purchase to improve organization and assisted them with putting their binders together. She is also helpful with tutoring in class work which I find a plus. Wish I would have discovered SAOTG earlier. I also have to mention that the boys love going to the SAOTG center because its stocked with all of their favorite snacks which motivates them as well.

SAOTG has provided much needed support for my family these past 2 years. Michaella has been working with my daughter on executive functioning skills and it has literally been a game changer. She now knows how to study for tests and plan for projects more effectively, and her grades have improved drastically. SAOTG is worth every penny!

Evan Weinberger spoke at our school PTO Parent Education series. He does a great job of explaining the concepts of executive functioning skills and provided helpful, tangible tips on how we can help our kids. His experience and demeanor gave me confidence that his program would be useful for kids needing some extra help.
Evan and his team are top-notch. As someone who has worked in education for years, I love how SAOTG supports not just academics but executive functioning and organization. These skills can be applied to so many facets of life and build a child's confidence. Most of the time, these skills are difficult to teach in the day-to-day classroom setting.
Staying Ahead of the Game has been a true blessing in my life. It has helped me take proactive steps to develop healthy habits for school, the working world and life in general. I feel that SAOTG truly cares and wants to see each of their clients functioning at their optimal level. Thank you SAOTG!!!

Had a great experience. They really helped me a lot with my organization and making sure I got everything done for school that I needed to get done. They helped me set up binders that really helped me out a lot with keeping track of papers and also having everything organized which made for easier access
Tony is an excellent tutor/academic coach. He has taught my son numerous organizational skills and helped him navigate a rigorous middle school curriculum. He is also a great motivator (which can be challenging during the middle school years). He was always punctual and available, and he provided excellent feedback regarding my son’s progress. I highly recommend Tony and Staying Ahead of the Game.

It's so great to see.Thanks SO much SAOTG!!
Our school advisory committee was looking for an Executive Functioning Skills coach to speak to our 3rd-5th grade parents in preparation for middle school. Evan and his team came highly recommended from our sister high school. Our parents were blown away by the insight and ideas they walked away with and were able to begin using immediately. Evan and team - thank you! We look forward to introducing our students to you and watching them succeed!
The relationship I have come to have with my tutor, Beth, is one that I value so much and will cherish forever. Not only is she qualified, patient, and extremely smart... she is kind, funny, and always knows how to hold me accountable and push me to be my best when it comes to doing my school work. Evan and his team really know what they're doing and I am thankful to have tutors from SAOTG!

Thank you Evan for your recent visit to my son's Boy Scout Troop 125. Scouts and parents appreciated the tools you presented on time management skills in getting ready for college.I have known Evan for years, and our family has worked with his staff. I always learn new ways of helping of my children manage school and all the activities they participate in. Evan's tools help alleviate stress for not only students, but also parents. We highly recommend Evan and his staff for organizational skills and time management.

I am so impressed with Evan's ability to quickly grasp the needs of his clients. My adult son has ADHD, learning disabilities and developed a mental disorder in his senior year which kept him from graduating in his senior year at UT. After many years of treatment, my son now feels ready to finish his education and get a job for the first time. After being referred by his therapist at Menninger Clinic, Evan expressed great interest in helping guide him in his newly rejuvenated path to accomplishment. After meeting with Evan, my son feels "cared about" and is very motivated to follow the insightful advice he was offered. Feeling much more confident in himself, he is on his way to implement the individuated plan of action designed for him. I am so grateful to Evan for his willingness to assist him to get back on a "new track to success" with achievable and realistic goals for using his potential.

Evan's coaching helped us increase our productivity as a development office from struggling to solid. By implementing the communication infrastructure that we needed to effectively support each other as a team, he solved several of our project and task management problems. The ease with which we are now able to respond to and accommodate unexpected changes in scheduled meetings, events, etc. has decreased stress levels across the board as well!
