Things parents often wonder
My child is bright. Why are they struggling?
ADHD affects executive functioning, not intelligence. Many bright students with ADHD struggle with starting tasks, staying organised, and managing time, not because they lack ability, but because those skills don't come automatically.
Will this actually make a difference?
The combination of subject support and study systems means your child isn't just getting through this week's homework. They're building skills that carry forward.
My child already has a tutor.
Subject tutoring helps with content. ADHD study coaching addresses the underlying patterns that make school hard: task avoidance, time blindness, and difficulty getting started. Many students benefit from both.
My child doesn't have a diagnosis.
A diagnosis is not required. If your child is struggling with focus, organisation, or motivation at school, sessions can still help.
