Our Story
Keeping up with the academic and social demands of college can be a daunting task for any student. A student's lack of organizational and time management skills, or executive functions, often contributes to this challenge.
College Success Plan provides the perfect balance of support and space, allowing students to become self-sufficient and accomplished. The accountability and consistency College Success Plan provides is effective for teaching lifelong executive function skills to all students.
We know how challenging the family dynamic can become when parents must manage and oversee their student's academic expectations, and we help break that cycle. Our experienced coaches help students tap into their fullest potential, and take parents out of the academic equation - in the best way possible!
Executive functions are the brain processes that underlie planning, organization, decision-making, attention, and goal setting. Through our research-based system, students learn strategies that aid in the development of executive functions. With consistent practice, these strategies become routine. This empowers students to earn better grades, reduce stress levels, and feel confident.
It All Starts with a Call
During your consultation, we will discuss your student, address your concerns and share our research-based solutions. Together, we will identify individual strategies and objectives for the current or upcoming semester. We know that each student is unique, and understanding his or her strengths, challenges and aspirations allows us to create a comprehensive support plan.
This 30-minute phone call will help us decide if College Success Plan will be a good fit for your family. Accountability, structure, and consistency are key components of our program, and a successful partnership between students, coaches, and families is crucial to its success. There's no time to waste when it comes to correcting poor habits, creating positive patterns, or giving your student the gift of empowerment.

Committed to Experience and Collaboration
The pandemic has resulted in many educational professionals scrambling to offer their services online - often with mixed results. That is not us. College Success Plan has been working with students across the country, virtually, since the company was formed over 12 years ago.
While each student works exclusively with their own coach, our team of highly trained, dedicated coaches collaborates often, sharing their vast experiences working with College Success Plan students at over 100 colleges and universities nationwide. The time-tested, research-based, comprehensive curriculum and resource guides we have developed are constantly updated, giving our coaches the best possible tools to help students succeed.
The foundation for College Success Plan was developed by Elizabeth Pyle after studying at the Rush NeuroBehavioral Center and spending years as an educator, coach, tutor and parent.
