In this class, I will work one-on-one with students to help them feel competent and confident of their ability to master their homework! We will work on several skills. One important skill we'll practice is organizing and prioritizing assignments. Another is breaking down large assignments into smaller tasks and knowing where to start. Finally, we will review any academic material the student is struggling with. Sometimes students with ADHD have trouble paying attention in a whole-class setting, and they miss instruction that they need to understand core concepts. Sometimes they just learn a little bit differently from the way the material is usually presented at school, and they need to see a concept presented a different way. Regardless, I will work with your children to make sure that they understand the concepts they're learning at school.

Please note that because this course can cover a variety of areas, from core academics to executive function skills, it is helpful if you or your child can let me know in advance where you feel that your child could use the most support prior to the first class. This is, of course, dynamic and changes with the child, and I will adapt my teaching to meet your child's needs. Discussing your initial concerns gives us a good starting point for the first session, though.
