At SET Coaching, we focus on the WHOLE student, fostering both academic success and personal growth.
With over 15 years of experience in education, I'm dedicated to empowering middle and high school students, especially those with ADHD, through personalized plans that enhance time management and executive functioning skills.
Think of me as your academic GPS, guiding families through the chaotic journey of education. My approach, which goes beyond the classroom, bridges the gap between students and parents to ensure a more balanced personal life. Through my holistic approach, I equip each student with the proper executive functioning skills that they can use in both the classroom and their everyday lives.
A New York City native and Davidson College graduate, I also offer specialized Spanish language tutoring for comprehensive support.

We begin with a comprehensive assessment, separately with parents and students, to understand each student’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals.
Through one-on-one sessions, we develop essential academic skills such as time management, organizational skills, and executive functioning.

Ms. Davis is a delight to work with. When we first met she was my homeroom advisor at school. We had a fantastic relationship which led me to reach out to her for tutoring. Our main focus was Spanish and our sessions involved reviewing foundational information, preparing study methods, and test prep. Unlike any other tutor I’ve worked with, Ms. Davis was also a constant source of genuine and insightful life advice. Her delightful and kind presence saw her quickly become a true personal and family friend. My time with Ms. Davis left me with superior study habits and strategies that carried me through college and have allowed me to thrive at a top law school. You truly cannot go wrong working with her.
Ms. Davis was incredible working with my niece Mary. Mary hit “writer’s block” on a senior thesis. She was battling symptoms from a previous concussion, and was unable to focus, organize, or complete a critical fifteen page paper for her major that was due for her to graduate from Stanford University. Mary felt hopeless and discouraged. But after spending time with Ms. Davis, the tides turned. Ms. Davis helped Mary create a thesis outline, daily milestones, and “to do” lists. Mary’s confidence began to return. Ms. Davis has an amazing way of connecting with students and meeting them where they are both emotionally and academically. Mary is a brilliant mind who needed help organizing and believing in her capabilities! I am thrilled to say that after working with Ms. Davis, Mary was able to finish her thesis, submit paper to professor, receive a solid grade, and graduate from Stanford! All of this was up the air before her time with Ms. Davis! I would highly recommend Shaunta Davis as a coach, mentor, and advocate!
I first worked with Ms. Davis in middle school and have continued working with her through all of high school. She is very knowledgeable with all levels of Spanish and a big help to anyone who needs it. Who knows, I may have her helping me in college!

Yes. Each coaching plan is unique to each student client. I can happily focus on one specific area, but also ensure to adjust and include any and all aspects of SET's Core Services to ensure the optimal learning plan for your student.
SET Academic Coaching focuses on overall academic success across all core classes as the focus is less subject-based and more confidence and skill based. We specialize in students with ADHD, and teach and reinforce active study skills and executive skills. SET Coaching also specializes in Spanish-language instruction and acquisition.
After the initial introductory meeting with students and their parents, goals are set and the frequency of sessions is established. Clients typically meet once a week for the entire academic school year.
