ADHD tutoring that works with their brain, not against it

Short-burst, movement-friendly 1:1 sessions at your home or online, from vetted Enhanced-DBS SEND tutors who know why "just concentrate" was never going to work. £80 a session, no registration fee.

How the hours work
A tutor and a child working through a task broken into steps

Ten-minute sprints with real breaks. The hour is built from pieces an ADHD brain can win.

The approach

How an ADHD-aware tutoractually works

Not the same worksheet with more nagging. Four principles run through every hour.

Short bursts

Sprints, not marathons

Ten focused minutes, a real break, then the next sprint. An ADHD brain doesn't do fifty-minute stretches on demand, so the hour is built from pieces it can actually do, and the work gets finished instead of fought over.

Movement

Wobbling is working

Standing up, pacing while spelling, squeezing something while thinking: movement isn't the enemy of attention for these kids, it feeds it. At home nobody makes them sit still, so the energy goes into the maths.

Novelty

Interest is the fuel

ADHD attention is interest-driven, not effort-driven. Tutors switch formats before boredom lands: a game, a timer, a challenge, your child teaching the tutor. The topic stays the same, the delivery keeps moving.

Executive skills

Teach the organising, not just the subject

Starting the task, breaking it down, keeping track of what's due: the skills school assumes are the skills ADHD makes hardest. Tutors teach them explicitly, on your child's real homework, until the scaffolding sticks.

Said plainly

We don't assess, diagnose or prescribe. We teach.

An ADHD diagnosis comes from a paediatrician or psychiatrist, and medication questions belong with them. Our tutors teach in the way that suits ADHD brains, with or without the paperwork, and if you already have a report we'll help you actually use it.

Our Bespoke Tutoring Approach

Tell us what you'd like the hours to do

A short, friendly enquiry: your child, your postcode, and what you'd like the hours to cover. We check we can serve your area and hand-pick a vetted, Enhanced-DBS SEND tutor who actually fits. And we're honest if we don't have the right person near you yet.

Your tutor comes to you

One hour, one-to-one, at your home. Sessions are booked around family life: after school, weekends, school holidays. No centre, no travel, no waiting room, just your child at their own kitchen table with someone who gets them.

You hear how it went, every visit

After each hour you get the honest picture: what they worked on, what landed, and what's coming next. And because it's pick and mix, you can change what the hours cover whenever your child needs something different.

Tell us about your child

Your postcode, your child's age, and what homework time actually looks like. We'll hand-pick a tutor who fits, and say honestly if we don't have the right person near you yet.

Common questions

Do you assess or diagnose ADHD?

No. Diagnosis comes from a paediatrician or psychiatrist, and medication decisions belong with them too; we'll never blur that line. Our tutors teach in ways that suit ADHD brains, diagnosed or not. If you already have a report, an £80 'Understand a report' session turns its jargon into a plan.

Is this tutoring or ADHD coaching?

Both live in the same hour. The subject work is tutoring; the explicit teaching of starting, planning, organising and remembering is what coaches call executive function work. With children we've found separating the two is artificial: the maths homework is the coaching material.

My child refuses homework outright. Where would a tutor even start?

Not with homework. First sessions build the relationship on your child's terms, often through whatever they're into, because an ADHD child who likes their tutor will try things they'd refuse from a parent. The battles usually shrink once the work is happening with someone who isn't you.

Does online work for ADHD?

Often surprisingly well, and it's the same £80 a session: sessions are short-burst by design, the tutor controls the pace, and there's no travel transition to derail the start. Some children do need in-person presence to stay anchored. If you're unsure, try one of each; there's no minimum commitment.

Can the tutor work with school?

Yes. The written note after each session is yours to share with the class teacher or SENCo, and tutors will align with school's schemes where they exist. If school support itself is the battle, our specialists help with that side separately.

How much does it cost?

£80 a session, and that's the whole price: no registration fee, no minimum number of hours, no subscription. If your child has an EHCP, an EOTAS package or personal budget can sometimes fund tutoring.

Fewer battles. More finished.
