    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided!

The coordinators at Brooklyn Letters were so helpful and communicative…I would highly recommend their services!

    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.

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!

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

As a therapist myself, I now regularly recommend Themba to my patients. A much needed and well provided service to the community!!

    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.

ADHD TUTORING & COACHING FOR STUDENTS IN NYC

At-Home and Remote ADHD Tutoring & Coaching in New York City

For parents of students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the school year can feel like an uphill battle. You’ve likely seen these struggles firsthand, and they can be incredibly frustrating for everyone involved. Finding the right tutor, like a specialized ADHD tutor in NYC, can make all the difference. We believe every child can thrive with the right support.

Here are some of the most common pain points we hear from families, which our adhd treatment addresses:

  • The “Smart but Inconsistent” Conundrum: Your child is bright, articulate, and clearly understands the material, but their grades don’t reflect their intelligence. They ace one test and fail the next or forget to turn in half their assignments, leading to a roller coaster report card. This inconsistency can be baffling and disheartening.
  • Homework Becomes a Battlefield: Homework time shouldn’t be a source of daily conflict. Yet for many families, it’s a nightly struggle filled with arguments, procrastination, and tears.
  • The Constant Cycle of “I Forgot”: Whether it’s a forgotten textbook, a missed deadline, or a last-minute panic over an upcoming test, this lack of organization and impulse control doesn’t just impact grades; it erodes a child’s confidence.

If these scenarios sound familiar, you’re not alone. Our specialized ADHD tutor NYC is designed to address these very issues head-on, turning frustrating cycles into consistent progress and newfound confidence. We also work with young adults who face similar challenges.

Why ADHD Tutoring Is Different

Traditional tutoring often fails to meet the needs of students with ADHD because it focuses exclusively on academic subjects without addressing underlying executive function challenges. A tutor can explain a math concept perfectly, but if the child can’t focus long enough to complete the problem set, that instruction is lost. Our approach bridges the gap between subject-area knowledge and the executive functioning skills essential for success.

We don’t just teach what to learn; we teach students how to learn, manage their time, and build consistent routines. This holistic method helps students not only grasp concepts but also develop the study skills to become independent, confident learners. Learn more about how ADHD tutoring in New York City can help your child thrive academically.

Our Expert Instruction

Our tutors are trained to go beyond traditional academic support. They understand that a child with ADHD needs a dynamic, flexible, and patient approach. They offer expert instruction tailored to each student’s needs. Here’s a closer look at our methodology:

  • Breaking Down Tasks: We turn large, overwhelming assignments into smaller, more manageable steps. This technique reduces anxiety and makes the work feel less daunting and more achievable.
  • Utilizing Practical Tools: We incorporate a variety of tools to help students stay on track. This can include using timers to manage work sessions, visual supports, and planned movement breaks.
  • Parent Updates & Skill Transfer: We believe in a collaborative approach. Our tutors provide regular updates to parents, sharing the strategies being used so they can be reinforced at home. The ultimate goal is to help children and young adults internalize these crucial skills so they can use them on their own.

Tailored Support for Children

Tailored Support for Children

ADHD presents different challenges depending on a child’s age and developmental stage. Our tutors are skilled at tailoring their approach to meet the specific needs of children from elementary school through high school.

Elementary School Child

For younger students, our focus is on building a strong foundation. We help with school routines, such as organizing a backpack or a homework station. We also use behavioral support strategies to help children manage transitions and build a positive relationship with schoolwork, including reading and other foundational skills. If your child struggles with attention and reading, our ADHD reading tutor NYC can make a major difference.

Middle School Child

Middle school is a critical period where academic demands increase significantly. We help students with study skills, showing them how to organize their notes and prepare for tests effectively. We also teach them how to handle the added pressure of test prep and manage their time across multiple subjects. We introduce structured planning and prioritization to prevent overwhelm.

Our ADHD tutoring in NYC for middle schoolers ensures that students develop strong executive function habits that carry through high school and beyond.

High School Child

As students approach college, our tutors help them develop the academic independence needed for higher education. We work on managing a heavy course load, balancing extracurricular activities, and preparing for major exams — including ADHD test prep tutoring.

For high schoolers planning to attend IB programs, we also offer ADHD and IB tutoring support.

Our Tutors: More Than Just Experts

Our tutors are more than just academic experts. They are experienced mentors with a deep understanding of ADHD and its impact on learning. Many of our tutors are a special education teacher or have Special Education (SPED) credentials and direct experience working with students who have an IEP (Individualized Education Program) or a 504 Plan.

They are skilled at interpreting these plans and building a tailored tutoring program that complements the accommodations and goals set by the school. We also offer academic assessments to help identify specific areas where a student needs support, including math tutoring for ADHD students and ADHD writing tutor in NYC.

What Families Say About ADHD Tutors and Coaches

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of the families we’ve worked with have to say about the impact our tutoring has had on their children.

My 13 year old son worked with Aaron on Math throughout 8th grade and we are so pleased with what they were able to accomplish together. B had always seen himself as good at math and was placed in honors math for 7th grade but had a hard time keeping up, was diagnosed with ADHD (turns out he hadn’t been retaining or absorbing much that year) and put back in “regular ” math for 8th grade. We knew he needed to shore up fundamentals and restore confidence/mojo as a math student.Aaron helped Billy get caught up on the fundamentals he’d been fuzzy on and get a solid handle on each building block as the Algebra got more complex. He read through Billy’s diagnosis report to better understand the learning differences and executive functioning challenges he was working with and tailored his teaching style to include coping strategies to encourage less impulsivity, more attention to detail/review, etc.


Aaron was also very easy to work with – always flexible and following up sessions with helpful summaries and reminders and encouragements for Billy. Highly recommend!

-Jess P.

Rebecca is an awesome tutor, and I love her. She has a lot of patience, and she is wonderful at giving examples to a student with ADHD on how to study. She was very dedicated to me and made sure I understood the material. Thanl

 

-Sharon S.

I own a tutoring / educational consulting company myself.. 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 really guided me in the right direction. Most of the other companies I had called didn’t seem to understand what “multisensory” learning style means which is fine, but I’m assuming they wouldn’t understand my daughter’ 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.
