Personalised maths and English tutoring for children with ADHD

You don't need a diagnosis to start, just a sense that your child could benefit from a different approach to learning.

Here's what we often hear from parents:

  • They understand the work but struggle to stay focused long enough to finish

  • Long instructions or big tasks that don't appear interesting soon become daunting

  • Getting started on homework can feel like the hardest part

  • Their confidence has taken a knock after being told to "try harder" or "concentrate"

  • They can focus intensely on things they love, but find other subjects much harder to engage with

We understand the challenges parents can face

Whatever's brought you here, we've likely spoken to a family facing something similar.

She wants to please everyone and works extra long to finish, as her focus wavers.

Our tutors use strategies to help with focus and engagement so your child doesn't have to work extra hard to get to the same place as their peers.

Every time I ask him to start his homework, it turns into a big argument.

When a task feels too big or uninteresting, starting can be difficult. We meet your child at a level that feels achievable and build from there.

He can concentrate for hours on something he loves, but switches off completely in maths.

We get to know what engages your child and adapt the learning experience to help them stay involved.

ADHD tutoring that keeps your child engaged in learning

Personalised maths and English tuition that starts at your child's current level and adapts as they learn.

Rather than expecting every child to work in exactly the same way, we adjust the pace and approach around the individual.

  • Learning broken into achievable chunks rather than one overwhelming task

  • Regular interaction to keep your child actively involved

  • Work pitched at the right level, so they can experience real progress

  • An approach that adapts to what motivates your child and helps them learn

What our tutoring for children with ADHD looks like

Adapted teaching in maths and English, starting at your child's true level, not their year group.

Learning broken into manageable steps

When a task feels too big to tackle, our tutors will break it into smaller, achievable steps. Your child can focus on one thing at a time, with clear guidance and support to help them get started and keep moving forward.

Interactive and engaging teaching

Our tutors keep your child engaged in their learning using questions, activities and different explanations. If their attention starts to drift, the approach can adapt to help bring their focus back to the task.

Support adapted to your child

Every child with ADHD learns differently. Our tutors get to know what motivates your child, where they tend to get stuck and what helps them engage. They then adapt their approach to make each session work better for them.

SEND-aware tutors

Our tutors are trained in SEND awareness and supported by education experts. They'll get to know your child as an individual and adapt their approach around the way they learn.

Truly individual learning

There's no fixed pace your child has to keep up with. Their learning is shaped around their current level and continues to adapt as they progress.

Progress you can see

Regular updates through our app show you what your child has mastered and what they're working towards next, so you don't have to guess how they're getting on.

Reliable safeguarding

Your child learns in a secure environment. Our centres in England are Ofsted registered, every tutor is DBS checked and our tutors are supported by safeguarding leads.

He has ADHD and Tourette's, and the managers have treated him with kindness, patience and respect from day one. They see him, not just his SEN, and the difference in his confidence has been amazing.
