College success isn’t just about intelligence—it’s about consistency, ownership, and momentum. Many students struggle not because they can’t do the work, but because motivation dips, routines slip, and independence feels overwhelming. The good news? Motivation can be built through structure and strategy.

Making the transition to independent college adult isn't easy. There's a lot to navigate through this big life change. Let's talk and learn where the tough spots are so that systems can be put in place that allow for growth and success.

College Major and College Prep Class

Five - Ninety minute on-line sessions with a group of up to 5 students

This powerful program begins with a thorough self exploration about what you enjoy and what a future career choice looks like for you today. It then explores the "how to" mechanics of choosing your next home away from home through college searches. We then move to college applications and essay writing. The next step is how to be successful in college and make the most of your time there and what your professor will expect from you and how you can maximize success in the classroom.

Working with kids who have executive function difficulties can be both challenging and deeply rewarding. Executive functions are the brain’s management system—skills that help us plan, organize, remember instructions, regulate emotions, and complete tasks. When these skills are delayed or impaired, children may appear forgetful, unmotivated, oppositional, or “lazy.” In reality, they’re often overwhelmed.

Let's understand where the sticking point is and create systems that build confidence and routines that create success.

The process starts with finding out where you are and what you are working on. We will create a fluid plan and make adjustments along the way. We will celebrate victories and talk about where things went wrong so that we can learn and keep moving forward. We will use many different tools including breathing techniques to build focus and reduce stress.

Who am I?

My name is Adam Rubin, and for the past 24 years I have had the privilege of teaching at my alma mater, a private university in New England. My work spans the General Education curriculum, Entrepreneurship, Management, and the MBA program. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to helping students reach their fullest potential while guiding them through a process of self-discovery.

When I teach, my goal is to create a supportive and comfortable environment where my kids feel confident asking questions, secure enough to make mistakes, and safe while being challenged to grow. I often share my teaching philosophy with them because it’s simple and true: When you laugh, you pay attention. When you pay attention, you learn. And what you truly learn, you retain.

Much of my teaching is with first-year students who are navigating the dual transition into college life and adulthood. Over the years, I have seen how difficult it can be for students to find a path that honors their individuality while maintaining their sense of identity. Many struggle with questions about what to study, how to fit in, what faculty expect of them, and how to navigate challenges such as being LGBTQ+, managing learning or executive function differences, being a first-generation college student, or finding a healthy work–life balance. In my nearly quarter-century as an educator, I have witnessed these struggles time and again.

It is precisely because of these experiences that I created this company—to leverage what I’ve learned and serve as a beacon of light, helping guide the next generation of students toward a path that is right for them.

In addition to teaching, I have served as an advisor to several student-run organizations, including the Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization, ENACTUS/SIFE, Delta Chi Fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi Professional Fraternity, and the Ventures Business Incubator.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and immersing myself in different cultures. I’m a Kripalu certified Yoga Instructor and I am also passionate about theatre, fishing, golfing, and cars.

Now that you know a bit more about me, I’d love to learn more about you—and the challenges you’re facing as you move toward college or work to discover the path that's right for you.

I absolutely loved Rubin! He was my favorite professor last semester, and was a great mentor to me. He pushed us as a class and set a high standard for us to excel, but was very supportive along the way throughout the semester. I really enjoyed his class- he made it fun and entertaining and I genuinely enjoyed going every time. Would recommend!

Anonymous Review on RateMyProfessor.com

From the moment I walked into his BUS100 (Global Foundations of Organizations and Business)class, Professor Rubin created an environment that felt welcoming, engaging, and motivating. He was charismatic and entertaining, but more importantly, he was an exceptional teacher who genuinelycared about whether his students were learning, not just memorizing. Professor Rubin didn’t just teach the fundamentals of business; he taught us how to think.

Through discussions on globalization, ethics, entrepreneurship, teamwork, and leadership, I learned how businesses function within a global and social context and how important ethical decision-making is in today’s world. His emphasis on collaboration, communication, and accountability pushed me outside my comfort zone and helped me grow not only as a student, but as an individual

As someone who entered college unsure of myself and my academic direction, Professor Rubin played a pivotal role in shaping my confidence and interest in business. His class laid the foundation for how I approach teamwork, problem-solving, and learning as a whole. I am incredibly grateful that he was my first introduction to business at Bryant University, and I truly believe his impact will stay with me throughout my academic and professional journey.
