English Tutoring for Students with ADHD &
Learning Differences
What a session looks like
-
Small enough to finish
Work broken into steps sized so the student can actually complete them—and feel it.
-
The plan stays visible
The plan lives on the page or the screen, not in the student's head.
-
Nothing depends on remembering
Checklists and clear next-steps carry the load, so working memory doesn't have to.
-
Reading that fits the reader
Reading strategies suited to how students with dyslexia or ADHD processes text.
It’s not ability
A student with ADHD, a processing difference, high-functioning autism, or another neurodivergent profile may not be short on ability.
They are navigating a system that doesn’t fit the way their brain actually works.
I supply the structure
When the system doesn't fit, the effort goes into coping instead of learning, and the results stop reflecting the student's effort or intelligence.
That's the part I work on.
Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking
Sessions push reading, writing and speaking every time, but the executive-function support runs underneath all of it: knowing where to start, what matters, and how to keep going when the task feels like too much.
Patience is Part of the Method
None of it works without patience.
Sessions move at the student's pace while I support them and keep them moving forward. There's no penalty for needing to slow down, repeat, or reframe the topic or lesson.
Your kid is smart. You know it. The report card doesn't. For a lot of neurodivergent students, reading and writing feel overwhelming before they even start.
The work isn't beyond them. Getting into it is the wall.
Homework drags for hours, assignments get avoided, and a capable kid starts believing the problem is them.
It isn't. The setup just doesn't match how they learn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you diagnose or treat ADHD?'
No. I'm a teacher, not a clinician. I work on reading, writing, and the structure students need to get work done. If your child needs evaluation or therapy, I'll say so.
Do you work with dyslexic students?
I work with students with learning differences, including dyslexic students, on reading and writing. I'm not a dyslexia specialist—if clinical intervention is needed, a specialist is the better fit, and I'll tell you so.
Is online tutoring effective for students with ADHD?
Yes, for students who can engage in structured one-on-one sessions. Sessions are interactive, broken into clear steps, and move at the student's pace.
How much does tutoring cost?
$120/hr, with 4- and 8-session packages available. See the pricing page for details.
What if my student has trouble with basic English skills?
If your student has trouble with basic English skills because they speak English as a second language, I can help. If they have a poor foundation because of lack of support, I can help. I can provide academic support to students receiving therapy because of a diagnosis, but I do not provide therapy or medical treatment.
