What Dubai Families Say About Executive Skills Coaching

These are real results from real families across Dubai's international schools. Every student started in a different place — some were IB students hitting the wall in Year 11, some were bright children who had never been able to get organised, some had ADHD that had gone unsupported for years. What they share is a parent who decided to stop waiting and find out what was actually getting in the way.

"I was looking for an ADHD coach for my daughter and decided to work with Lewis. What I appreciate about Lewis is that he has been very thorough with his work. His style helped Gayatri to refocus her energies and get her to accomplish tasks. That was one major area that she was struggling with. She was unable to start work and then focus. However, in the course of her coaching with Lewis, she was able to accomplish that. He was consistently in touch with me while working with her. His feedback was detailed and helpful."

"We'd been struggling with our daughter for a while. She's bright but just couldn't seem to get organised or stay on top of her workload at school. A friend recommended Lewis at Executive Skills Dubai and it's been so helpful. He identified straight away that she didn't need more tutoring, she needed executive function support. Within a few weeks she had proper systems in place for managing her time, starting tasks independently, and handling exam pressure. Her confidence has grown massively. If you have a child in a Dubai school who is capable but struggling to keep it together, I cannot recommend Lewis enough."

"We tried tutoring for 2 years — our daughter knew the material but still struggled. Lewis explained that she didn't need content help, she needed executive function support. The difference became clear immediately. His sessions focused on building time management systems, organisation habits, and stress regulation techniques. Within a month, she was more independent and confident. This is what we should have done first."

"In the run up to exams, my son got overwhelmed. He's bright but had no system for managing multiple subjects, and the panic usually caused him to underperform. In just 4 sessions, Lewis taught our son practical strategies — how to create a realistic revision timetable and break subjects into manageable chunks. Most importantly, he taught him how to manage exam stress and stay calm under pressure. My son's grades improved and he no longer dreads exams."

"Lewis was a great help to my son. He helped him get organised, make a schedule, and taught him how to study. His confidence has grown and he enjoys school so much more. Lewis is truly one of a kind."

"Before working with Lewis I was struggling to complete my coursework. I'm in Year 11 and the deadlines were building up. Lewis didn't just help me meet the deadline; he taught me how to actually plan and manage my time so I stopped panicking about these things in the first place. I now do a weekly planning reset every Sunday and I start assignments properly instead of the night before. My grades have improved but honestly the bigger change is that I feel in control of my schedule for the first time. This is completely different from tutoring. It fixed the actual problem."
