    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. I've referred your organization and Valerie to the Executive Director of our daughter's school and friends/colleagues who are in need of speech therapy services.

    We cannot say enough good things about Effie, the ASL teacher, who was so engaged and effective with our 2 year old daughter from the very first session! 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.

Adult AuDHD Coaching for Autism + ADHD

Neuro-Affirming Support for Executive Function, Burnout, Masking, and Daily Life

Adults with AuDHD (the overlap of autism and ADHD) often experience challenges that differ significantly from ADHD alone.

 

Many adults navigate:

  • sensory overwhelm
  • chronic masking
  • executive dysfunction
  • autistic burnout
  • social fatigue
  • communication challenges
  • task switching difficulties
  • nervous system overload

 

Our coaching is designed around these overlapping experiences rather than traditional productivity-focused ADHD coaching.

Our work is designed for professionals who want sustainable systems—not pressure to “try harder.” Whether you are dealing with a recent ADHD diagnosis or have navigated these traits for years, we provide the emotional support and practical strategies needed to thrive.

AuDHD: When Autism and ADHD Create Unique Executive Function Challenges

After college, external structure often disappears while expectations increase. For individuals with ADHD and autism, this shift can reveal executive function challenges that were previously masked by intelligence or effort. This disorder, often characterized by an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder profile alongside autistic traits, can make it difficult to manage multiple tasks and specific tasks simultaneously.

Common experiences include:

  • Difficulty transitioning between tasks
  • Exhaustion from constant masking
  • Sensory overload that disrupts productivity
  • Difficulty balancing competing autistic and ADHD needs
  • Periods of hyperfocus followed by shutdown
  • Social exhaustion after meetings, networking, or group interactions
  • Difficulty recovering from overstimulation

These patterns reflect neurological differences—not a lack of motivation or professionalism.

Common Experiences Adults with AuDHD Describe

Many adults with AuDHD report:

  • Feeling “too autistic” in ADHD spaces
  • Feeling “too ADHD” in autism spaces
  • Constantly adapting behavior to meet expectations
  • Difficulty understanding personal limits until burnout occurs
  • Struggles with sensory environments
  • Difficulty balancing spontaneity and structure
  • Feeling misunderstood despite high intelligence
  • Cycles of hyperfocus and exhaustion

These experiences are common and often shape the coaching process.

Neuro-Affirming Coaching for Adults with AuDHD

Adult AuDHD Coaching

Themba Tutors takes a neuro-affirming, adult-centered approach to Adult AuDHD Coaching. We do not aim to change your behavior or force productivity systems that don’t fit your brain. Instead, we help you design personalized strategies that align with how you naturally think.

Our coaching services help you manage ADHD symptoms by understanding:

  • The role of sensory load and task switching.
  • The long-term risks of unmanaged burnout.
  • How autism and ADHD create competing needs.
    For example:
    – craving structure while resisting structure
    – needing stimulation while becoming overstimulated
    – wanting connection while experiencing social exhaustion
    – hyperfocusing while struggling with task initiation

 

Understanding these internal conflicts is often a central part of AuDHD coaching.

 

While we are not a therapist or psychologists providing ADHD treatment or behavioral therapy, our coaches work alongside such professionals to provide tactical, real-world relief.

Why AuDHD Coaching Requires a Different Approach

Themba Tutors specializes in executive function training for adults with complex learning and attention profiles. Traditional ADHD productivity systems do not always work for AuDHD adults. Strategies that ignore sensory needs, autistic burnout, masking demands, and recovery capacity often become unsustainable. Our coaching focuses on building systems that respect both autistic and ADHD traits simultaneously.

Our coaches bring:

  • Years of experience supporting young adults and seasoned professionals.
  • Expertise in building sustainable systems that support both autistic and ADHD traits in demanding environments.
  • Extensive experience working with students, entrepreneurs, and creatives.

We recognize that many AuDHD adults are capable and highly motivated—but unsupported by systems designed for neurotypical workflows.

How We Support Adults Navigating AuDHD in Daily Life

We provide targeted support for executive function challenges that often occur alongside AuDHD, including task initiation difficulties, cognitive overload, transitions between tasks, and balancing productivity with sensory and emotional sustainability. Our goal is to help you build study skills for graduate school or professional certifications while managing the heavy cognitive load of a career.

Managing workplace communication

  • Understanding sensory and social demands
  • Reducing meeting fatigue
  • Advocating for accommodations when appropriate
  • Creating sustainable work routines

Burnout Prevention & Recovery

Autistic burnout is not the same as ordinary stress. Many adults with AuDHD describe cycles of:

  • overperforming
  • masking
  • pushing through overwhelm
  • shutdown
  • withdrawal
  • recovery

 

Coaching helps identify these cycles earlier and create systems that reduce the likelihood of repeated burnout.

Who Benefits Most from Adult AuDHD Coaching

This service is designed specifically for post-college adults, including:

  • Early- and mid-career professionals in New York and beyond.
  • Freelancers and those returning to work after burnout.
  • Graduate students navigating advanced degrees.

We also offer support for children and adolescents through our separate youth division, ensuring a continuum of care as they transition into adulthood.

Our Coaching Process

Adult AuDHD Coaching

1. Comprehensive Intake
We explore your work environment, goals, strengths, sensory needs, and stress points.

2. Custom Strategy Design
You learn executive function tools and communication strategies designed specifically for AuDHD adults.

3. Real-World Application
Strategies are tested and refined within your actual job or professional context.

4. Ongoing Support
Systems evolve as responsibilities change, reducing the risk of future burnout.

Many adults with AuDHD succeed early through effort alone, only to experience burnout as a demand compound. Targeted executive function coaching can restore clarity, confidence, and long-term sustainability—regardless of location.

Client Experiences

Ethan is having a fantastic junior year, thanks to Alissa’s support and all the habits she has helped him build over the past 4 years. He had his highest GPA this past quarter.


I recently had another reason to be grateful for Alissa and Themba Tutors as I met with Ethan’s guidance counselor for a college application meeting. She was so complimentary of Ethan, his academic achievements, AP course load and his portfolio of extracurricular activities. In the context of college preparation, she praised his readiness and his diligent work over the past 2 years.


I know for a fact we wouldn’t be looking at the colleges he is considering if Alissa hadn’t been by our side throughout this entire journey. I am forever grateful to Alissa and Themba for making such a difference in our lives.

 

– Talia

I can’t recommend Felicity enough. We’ve worked with a lot of coaches and care providers, and she is aces. She relates well with our daughter — which doesn’t happen all the time. She’s caring and empathetic, and when she spoke with my wife and me, she was full of sage and sound suggestions. Her vast experience, high intelligence, and evidence-based approach are great.

 

– David

I can’t say enough good things about Alissa. Alissa is absolutely wonderful. She brings such kind, warm, caring energy, is fun and engaging, and is also so organized and helpful to our daughter in tutoring both executive functioning and academics. She is able to see her issues so well and I can tell that our daughter really trusts and likes Alissa– they have formed a very nice bond. Alissa is also highly communicative with me and keeps in excellent touch with our daughter. Thank you for introducing us to her… we are very grateful.

FAQ: Adult AuDHD Coaching (NYC & Remote)

1. Do you only work with adults in NYC?

No. We offer both NYC-based sessions and Adult AuDHD Coaching outside the New York area.

2. Is remote coaching effective for AuDHD?

Yes. Sessions are structured, interactive, and tailored to executive function support in real-world work environments.

3. Do I need a formal diagnosis?

No. Many adults with ADHD and autism seek coaching based on lived experience or self-identification.

4. Is this therapy?

No. Coaching focuses on skills, systems, and practical workplace strategies—not mental health treatment.

5. Can coaching help with burnout?

Yes. Burnout prevention and recovery are core components of our adult AuDHD coaching.

6. How is AuDHD coaching different from ADHD coaching?

While there is overlap, AuDHD coaching recognizes the interaction between autistic and ADHD traits. Coaching may address sensory processing, masking, social fatigue, autistic burnout, communication differences, and competing needs around structure, stimulation, and recovery. These issues are often not addressed in traditional ADHD coaching alone.
