    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!

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

Non-verbal learning disorder (NVLD) is a neurological condition characterized by deficits in visual-spatial, motor, and social skills. Adults with NVLD face challenges in social interactions, interpreting non-verbal cues, and maintaining relationships. They also struggle with visual-spatial tasks, fine motor skills, executive functions like organization and time management, and personal or work performance requiring visual-spatial reasoning. Sensory processing issues, emotional regulation challenges such as anxiety and depression, and difficulties with abstract thinking and problem-solving are common, necessitating tailored support and accommodations to navigate life effectively.

 Professionally, they may misinterpret workplace social dynamics and struggle with task management, organization, and adapting to changes. Support strategies such as social skills training, cognitive behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, workplace accommodations, and assistive technology can help mitigate these challenges, improving their overall quality of life.

This study outlines the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD), which affects social and emotional functioning through deficits in nonlinguistic information processing, speech prosody, and social skills. Individuals with NLD often suffer from low self-esteem, anxiety, and mood symptoms and may be misdiagnosed as having ADHD, bipolar disorder, or Asperger’s disorder. Early diagnosis and targeted interventions, such as supportive psychotherapy, educational accommodations, and pharmacologic treatments, are essential for improving long-term outcomes.

With Themba Tutors, mastering non-verbal learning disorder (NVLD) concepts becomes engaging and insightful, tailored to meet the needs of all learners, including neurodiverse adults. Our expert NVLD tutors simplify complex topics and provide effective study skills, ensuring adults confidently understand and apply their knowledge in daily tasks and professional settings.

We provide ongoing feedback to adults and their families, promoting clear communication and ensuring active involvement in their learning journey. This collaborative approach, where everyone’s input is valued, helps adults transition from struggling with NVLD challenges to greater proficiency and confidence in their cognitive and social skills.

Our NVLD tutoring services are available to individuals nationwide and internationally. Our team of highly qualified educators, with over 90% holding advanced degrees in related fields, builds strong rapport with clients while addressing the challenges of digital distractions prevalent in 2024.

We implement SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Our flexible scheduling accommodates diverse personal situations, and we connect clients with other trusted professionals when necessary.

TESTIMONIALS

I worked with THEMBA tutor Brooke for the past 6 months and have found our work together to be extremely beneficial. Brooke helped me to organize my time and thoughts regarding looking for jobs by introducing new methods for planning my time. Brooke provided encouragement when I had doubts about my work. Brooke did not do my work for me, which was really important for me. Brooke is understanding ,patient and flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend Brooke.
