“Why can’t they just sit still and focus?!”

As you know all too well, your child with ADHD can be a handful. They just can’t seem to sit still and stay focused.

Other parents judge you without understanding what you’re dealing with.

You’ve followed the traditional, well-intentioned advice for improving their behaviour. People tell you, “Just give them consequences, set boundaries, ground them, medicate them.” Which makes sense… but often just doesn’t work.

They don’t need more judgement – they need the right kind of support. With specialist online ADHD tutoring, your child can develop better focus and attention and learn strategies that match how their brain really works.

Your child is just as frustrated as you are.

Nobody seems to understand them. It may not look like it but they are probably fighting to get good grades, fit in, and “be normal”, but it just doesn’t work like that.

It’s not your fault.

You’ve been doing all you can to help them.

You may have tried behavioural solutions, a change in diet or medications, and you may have seen improvement in function. However, if your child is not thriving, perhaps what you tried so far is not enough.

It’s essential to understand what gets in the way of their learning, and address those issues, to make  ADHD academic support effective. At that point, with guidance tailored to your child’s unique learning style, they can build study skills that work for them, boost their confidence, and start to feel capable again – both at school and at home.

Here’s the reality…

They not only need to learn how to fit in with the expectations of other people, but to discover the strengths of their special abilities and how to use them to their advantage.

And the only way to achieve this is to get personal guidance from a specialist who actually understands how to help with ADHD, how to manage it, and most importantly, how to work with your child to find what will work best for them.

They may have struggled with learning not so much because various methods didn’t help them concentrate, but because they have different learning styles that need to be accommodated.

Specialist ADHD tutoring is about unlocking the potential that’s already there. By recognising your child’s strengths and adapting learning around them, we provide the kind of support for children with ADHD that helps them thrive academically and emotionally.

For those with ADHD, there are specific secrets to succeeding in school… and in life.

Think about it. ADHD is a genetic trait that has evolved over millions of years and appears in every country around the world. So likely it has an evolutionary advantage, or it would have died out. Your child just needs to recognize the positives of ADHD and use the evolutionary advantage to their benefit.

Here are some of the secrets to success:
  • They need to move in order to learn.
  • Most people with ADHD benefit from recording their lectures and listening to them while taking a walk or working out.
  • Some benefit from using noise-cancelling headphones or playing white noise, music and nature sounds to increase their focus. Others do better with loud rhythmic soundtracks to keep them focused.
  • Rather than seeing ADHD as a lack of attention, it is a need and ability to take things in quickly and move on. They learn best in short bursts, and multitasking actually improves their focus!

With the right guidance, these natural traits can be shaped into powerful study skills for ADHD, turning everyday challenges into tools for success.

What is it that we do?

The understanding of ADHD is constantly evolving. Our approach is not medical. We support the individual to make the most from the gifts they have been given: help them use their differences as strengths! We also work to help them understand and mitigate the challenges they face. This is appropriate whether or not they are using medication.

So the first thing we do is assess what’s going on from the perspective of the senses and sensory processing. Any irregularities that we find – we address through a short, daily home program of neurodevelopmental exercises. This helps with readiness to learn and an improved ability to concentrate.

We don’t teach the kind of subject matter that you can look up in a book. We’re here to teach your child how to learn more efficiently: taking in and processing information, and communicating and applying their insights effectively. We teach them to adapt what they’ve learned as their courses get progressively more complex. Our purpose is to help them become independent life-long learners.

Even a little bit of success often has an immediate impact on the quality of life at home.

All their life, they have been told that their ADHD is a problem. We can show them how to turn it into a superpower.

Every child with ADHD deserves more than generic advice – they deserve personalised strategies that actually work. Our specialist ADHD coaches and tutors focus on practical tools your child can use every day, from organising study time to building confidence in the classroom.

Parents often tell us the biggest change isn’t just better grades, but a calmer home life. With structured ADHD academic support, your child can gain skills that reduce stress, improve focus, and unlock a genuine sense of achievement.

We suggest you use these four steps to achieve success with your child with ADHD:

  • Investigate with us what’s really going on.
  • Develop your child’s true learning potential through an individualized neurodevelopmental home program.
  • Work with a specialist ADHD tutor who actually understands what ADHD is, to develop strategies for effective learning
  • Apply what you’ve learned to help your child become an effective, independent lifelong learner.
