    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care. She was super flexible and it’s clear she truly cares. We adore … More Christina and we’re going to miss her. Almost sad he improved so much!

    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and provided significant guidance to support our daughter's speech development outside of our scheduled sessions. She established … More a great working relationship with her, and she will definitely be missed! Your business model is amazing and it was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie.

Effie gladly included our whole family in the sessions! Her expertise and fantastic … More personality gave our daughter a way to communicate that she was so desperately seeking. The coordinators at Brooklyn Letters were so helpful and communicative…I would highly recommend their services!

    Samantha Dalmas was fantastic! We saw her for a feeding therapy evaluation and while she doesn’t think my daughter needs more feeding therapy sessions at this time, but she gave me lots of tips to try.

    We had a very positive experience with Alissa as a tutor for our pod of 5th grade boys from January - June 2020. She cared a lot about the boys and worked hard to create meaningful activities for them. The pod experience was invaluable … More for all of our families during a difficult year and we were so grateful to have found this partnership! We also want to appreciate Craig for helping to match us with a tutor on very short notice after we had cycled through a few folks who were not able to see the commitment through. Thanks for sticking with us!
  • Avatar S CL ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Dusty was the exact person we needed to help our child finish out the school year. So grateful to him for the way he steadily encouraged her and helped her stay on track and organized. He is flexible, responsive to our needs/schedule as … More a family, and a delight to be with. We are also thankful that Craig at Themba Tutors really "gets it" and partnered us with such a wonderful tutor who was a great fit for our girl.
  • Avatar Nicole May ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    My child worked with Gillian D virtually for math enrichment. She is an excellent teacher. She took time to understand my child's specific learning style and provided tools that would be engaging. She was kind and empathetic- really … More made it her goal to connect with my child and build trust and rapport. My child started the school year with confidence and without the typically "brain-drain" that occurs over the summer, thanks to Gillian.
  • Avatar Gillian Davidoff ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I am going into my second year as a Themba tutor. I have met so many great individuals while working for this company. Craig and the rest of the Themba team do such an excellent job picking and choosing Themba tutors that suit each client's … More individual needs! I look forward to meeting new tutors and clients in the 2021-2022 school year!
  • Avatar carolina luttmann ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Our son started in a new high school, 100% remote, and was really struggling with Latin and Physics. I found Themba Tudors online and had an initial call with Craig, who was very knowledgeable, responsive, and found 2 amazing tutors for … More us. Both the Latin and the physics tutors were fantastic, connected with my son really well and helped him go from 'failing' grade to 'honors'! I will for sure continue using (and recommending!) Themba Tutors. Thank you, C, K, and W!

    Brian is a fantastic executive functioning coach. Super helpful, flexible with hours, and tailored the experience to our needs.
  • Avatar Susan Wong ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Giulia Mercuri is a great Italian tutor! She was very responsive and accessible. Giulia put a ton of effort into preparing for each session and really helped our son with test preparation and projects. We are grateful that she was able … More to help, especially since our son did not receive any live teaching during COVID. We are happy that she was referred to us!
  • Avatar Christine Gennetti ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    As an adult student diagnosed with a learning disability during grad school, I knew I needed help dealing with my Master's program's demanding workload. I was seriously considering dropping out when I was referred to Themba Tutors. … More I was paired up with a wonderful tutor, Julie, who was a total lifesaver. I learned many techniques that I can utilize in the future as I embark on the next phase of my career.
    I can wholeheartedly say after working with Themba for two years that I would not have finished my program without this organization. And I am so thankful I selected them.
  • Avatar Fabiola FITZPATRICK ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were introduced to a wonderful tutor: Mcedwyn. He and our son, a freshman in college, worked well together. As a result, our son’s grades significantly improved. The tutor taught our son subject content and various methods to effectively … More study for quizzes and exams. Our son was also taught time management and organization. My son’s experience with the tutor made the first year of college a less intimidating experience.
  • Avatar Jude Eugene ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We have been with our tutor, Cailin Schiller, for two years, from 5th - 7th grade. She started as an executive functioning tutor with my daughter. From the start, she demonstrated a depth of expertise and a selective use of techniques skillfully … More adapted to my daughter’s ADHD and Math disability. Cailin made Math accessible and understandable to her in a way that even her teachers had not been able to do. She differentiated reading, writing and math tasks and assignments to tailor them to my daughter’s unique learning differences. Not only did it have an effect on her grades and her work efficiency, but she finally could do her work with less anxiety. Even my daughter’s teachers used Cailin’s guidance to modify their work with her. But most importantly, she became my daughter’s favorite resource. I can’t say how invaluable Cailin has been to my daughter’s progress and well-being. I’d recommend her a million times over. She is a gem.

    Victoria is a superb tutor. She helped my high school age daughter with her writing. Victoria's skills as a tutor, as well as her sense of humor and her engaging personality went a long way with my daughter.

    I'm so glad we were referred to Themba Tutors. After a great initial conversation to learn our needs, we were connected with an excellent tutor, Felicia, who is helping our high school daughter learn better organizational and executive … More skills. Highly recommended.
  • Avatar Fara Jones ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    Themba Tutors provided a leaning specialist that was a perfect fit for my daughter. I told them what we were looking for and they delivered. Our tutor is responsive and flexible and makes it easy for my daughter to reach out to her own … More her own, which gives her an added sense of responsibility over her learning. As a therapist myself, I now regularly recommend Themba to my patients. A much needed and well provided service to the community!!
  • Avatar Frances Simpson ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    The tutors at Themba are fantastic! Caitlyn McNeill helped our son academically, but also with getting organized in every subject, which he so desperately needed. She offered great advice and useful strategies that helped our son become … More a more successful student. We are using Themba tutors again this year for our daughter. We're so happy to have been referred to them!

    Paul Smith at Themba has been an exceptional tutor for my son, both in terms of teaching the subject matter and teaching how best to approach the process of learning math and executing assignments. We feel very fortunate to be working with … More Paul.
  • Avatar Monica Alzate ★★★★★ 5 years ago
    We were very lucky to have found Edwouine Swift, my son's therapist through Themba Tutors. Thomas is 12 years old, and it is extremely difficult to get him to write. Edwouine just works her magic with him, he adores her and is so … More eager to follow her guidance. I have no doubt she will be a positive driving force in his academic future.

TESTIMONIALS

My son got to a point in his writing where he just hit a wall with brainstorming. He needed some extra 1:1 time outside of school with someone who could handle the executive functions aspect, the anxiety piece, the extra time/silence my son sometimes needed, and the warmth and creativity that is his native space. Jake was beyond perfect. I just couldn’t have dreamt up a better fit. In addition, he documented his process and what was working with my son so that I have a collection of emails to look back on when I need reminders about how to help my son when he’s feeling stuck – which is now very seldom. If I had five thumbs, they’d all be up. So I’ll just say 5 stars! Thank you, Jake, and thank you, Themba Tutors. (By the way, this was affordable, to boot.)

I own a tutoring /educational consulting company. I called to ask for help with my daughter, who has sensory, adhd related issues. The woman on the phone was very honest with me and guided me in the right direction. Most of the other companies I had called didn’t seem to understand what a “multisensory” learning style means, which is fine, but I’m assuming they wouldn’t understand my daughter’s learning needs. I wound up getting better services through my daughter’s school, but I’d recommend Themba to any parent with a child with special education needs.

Dr. Tamara provided great support to my 11-year-old son with ADHD. She worked with him on morning and evening routines. She was professional and relatable, and he bonded with her, allowing her to use their relationship to teach him “en vivo” and additional tools to help my son work through some socialization issues. He learned a lot and has benefited from her support. We may reach out at the next developmental stage and hope she is available, but we trust Craig would find another good fit for our child if not. Craig listened carefully at intake, asking the right questions, and later checked in to ensure things were going alright. A positive experience, highly recommend Themba Tutors.

-Jules B  

Jacob has been an integral part of Maya’s success in improving her organization and executive functioning. He partnered with us when Maya was just diagnosed with ADHD in 7th grade. Jacob gave us the support Maya needed through middle school and the high school application process. He was very patient, creative, and encouraging to Maya. Without his help, we would have had a much more difficult road ahead. Maya is now transitioning to high school in person as a freshman.

-Melissa S.   

At Themba Tutors, we take the time to help students/clients understand their strengths and progress in areas where they need to improve. We offer personalized tools for each of our clients to help them become more aware of their individual needs as they work towards short-term goals. Improving these skills will benefit our students’/clients’ long-term plans.

Who ADHD Coaching Supports

At Themba, ADHD coaching works across life stages. While goals look different at different ages, the underlying challenges are often similar.

Parents may seek coaching when a capable child struggles to manage school independently. College students often reach out when structure decreases and expectations increase. Adults typically come when work, family, and personal responsibilities start to feel overwhelming.

Across ages, coaching addresses challenges with task initiation, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and follow-through—helping clients bridge the gap between ability and execution.

How Executive Function Coaching Supports Parents, Teachers, and Students

ADHD impacts not just the individual, but also parents, teachers, and support systems.

Our coaching process includes collaboration when appropriate:

  • Supporting parents with structure and consistency at home
  • Helping teachers understand strategies that work in the classroom
  • Providing advice grounded in experience working with individuals with ADHD
  • Aligning with therapists, psychologists, and school teams when needed

We also offer professional development, workshops, and classes for schools and organizations.

What ADHD Coaching Focuses On

ADHD coaching is practical and skills-based. Coaches work collaboratively with clients to build systems they can realistically maintain, adjusting strategies as life changes.

Coaching may include work on organization, planning, time estimation, prioritization, accountability, and emotional regulation. Skills are practiced using real responsibilities—schoolwork, projects, deadlines, and daily routines—so progress carries over between sessions.

This work is not therapy and not tutoring. The focus is on how responsibilities are managed at school, work, and home.

Coaching Format

  • In-person sessions available in select NYC locations
  • Remote coaching available across the NYC Metro Area and beyond

In-Person ADHD Coaching in NYC & Remote Options

ADHD Coach

We offer in-person ADHD coaching throughout the NYC metro area, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx, Westchester, and Long Island. Remote coaching is also available for clients who prefer virtual sessions, travel frequently, or live outside the region.

The format is flexible and designed to fit your schedule and goals.

How ADHD Coaching Works

Coaching begins with a free consultation to understand your goals, context, and challenges. After completing a brief intake questionnaire, you’ll be thoughtfully matched with a coach and invited to a complimentary meet-and-greet before getting started.

Ongoing coaching is one-to-one, collaborative, and adaptable. As school demands, careers, or life circumstances change, coaching evolves alongside you.

Themba Tutors Process and Approach

Themba Tutors offers a structured, individualized approach for students of all ages and young professionals navigating ADHD, executive functioning challenges, nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD), dyslexia, autism, and other learning differences . We recognize the academic, emotional, and professional challenges these individuals face and design coaching that supports long-term success.

Our process begins with a thoughtful intake designed to match each client with the right coach.

  1. Begin with a Free Consultation: Reach out via email, text, or voicemail to get started. Our intake coordinator, Jerry, typically schedules a follow-up call within one business day. The process is overseen by Craig Selinger, ensuring consistency, responsiveness, and continuous improvement based on family feedback.
  2. Initial Executive Function Questionnaires: Prior to meeting, clients complete a complimentary executive function questionnaire tailored to age and context:
  3. Personalized Executive Function Assessment: Clients complete a free executive functioning assessment to identify strengths and growth areas. Coaches then provide customized SMART goal recommendations aligned with academic, personal, or professional objectives.
  4. Select Your Coach: Clients review profiles of our highly qualified ADHD coaches and select the professional who best fits their learning style and goals.
  5. Free Remote Meet-and-Greets: Introductory virtual sessions allow clients to meet potential coaches, build rapport, and confirm the best match—without obligation.
  6. Begin Coaching: Coaching starts with an initial assessment session and no long-term commitment. Coaches establish priorities, routines, and benchmarks for growth.

Our approach prioritizes weekly individualized sessions, consistent encouragement, and flexible strategy adjustments to meet evolving needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to work with a coach?
No. Many clients have a diagnosis, but others simply recognize ongoing executive function challenges. Coaching focuses on skills and support, not labels.

2. How is ADHD coaching different from therapy?
Coaching is non-clinical and action-oriented. It focuses on practical systems and follow-through, rather than mental health treatment or diagnosis.

3. Do you work with both children and adults?
Yes. This page covers ADHD coaching for all ages. Coaching is developmentally tailored based on age, goals, and context.

4. How involved are parents when coaching a child or teen?
Parents are partners, especially early on. The goal is to support independence while reducing daily conflict and over-prompting.

5. How often do coaching sessions happen?
Most clients meet weekly or biweekly, though frequency can change over time based on needs and goals.

6. Is coaching in-person or remote?
Both. We offer in-person coaching across the NYC metro area and remote coaching for flexibility.

7. How long does ADHD coaching usually last?
Coaching length varies. Some clients work with a coach for a few months around a transition, while others continue longer for ongoing support.

8. What results should I expect from coaching?
Clients typically see improvements in organization, time management, follow-through, confidence, and reduced stress over time.
