ADHD Tutors

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals focus, manage impulses, and regulate activity levels. It is commonly diagnosed during childhood, often becoming more apparent when children start school and face structured learning environments. ADHD is characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, which impact the child’s daily functioning.

In the UK, approximately 3m people have ADHD, including nearly 1m children.

Children with ADHD may exhibit a range of behaviours, including:

• Difficulty maintaining focus on tasks or activities
• Frequent forgetfulness or losing items needed for school or homework
• Hyperactivity, such as excessive talking, fidgeting, or an inability to sit still
• Impulsivity, including interrupting others or acting without thinking

These signs can affect academic performance, social interactions, and emotional well-being if not addressed with appropriate strategies.

ADHD can pose challenges for students, such as:

• Struggling to stay organised and meet deadlines
• Becoming easily distracted in traditional classroom settings
• Difficulty managing emotions in stressful situations

However, many children with ADHD possess unique strengths, including:

• Creativity and the ability to think outside the box
• High energy levels that, when channelled positively, enhance productivity
• Exceptional focus on topics or activities that genuinely interest them

With the right support, these strengths can be cultivated to help students succeed academically and personally.

An ADHD tutor provides personalised teaching, tailored to the student’s specific needs, to help them thrive as they might not in a traditional classroom environment. They:

• Break down tasks into manageable steps to improve focus and reduce feelings of overwhelm
• Provide personal attention, re-directing the student’s focus when needed
• Structure lessons into clear, timed increments, which learners with ADHD often find beneficial
• Teach organisational and time-management skills to help students stay on track
• Tutor with empathy and understanding, boosting the student’s confidence and motivation
• Provide regular feedback to parents, ensuring everyone is aligned on progress and goals

With the support of an experienced ADHD tutor, students can overcome obstacles, harness their potential, and achieve lasting success in their education.

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that can affect learning and behaviour.

Children with ADHD may struggle with focus, forgetfulness, hyperactivity, impulsive behaviour, and difficulty completing tasks or following instructions.

ADHD tutoring provides personalised, structured support tailored to the unique learning needs of students with ADHD. A good ADHD tutor will make use of the latest evidence-based strategies for teaching children with ADHD, and focus on building their organisation, and confidence. Many learners with ADHD struggle in traditional classroom environments, but 1-1 tuition can help them excel.

Our ADHD tutors are highly vetted based on their expertise and experience in teaching children with ADHD. Many are also qualified teachers, SENCOs, or have specific professional qualifications in ADHD.

Our tutors can assist with all major subjects and exams for students aged four to adults. This includes school entrance exams, GCSEs, A Levels and the IB.

We offer in-person ADHD tutoring in London, while our online tuition is available anywhere in the world. Our online ADHD tutors are just as experienced and many learners with ADHD find online tuition to be as effective as in person.

Every child is unique so progress will vary. However, with regular tutoring (at least one hour per week), many parents notice improvements in focus, confidence, and academic performance within a couple of months.
