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!

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.

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 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!

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.

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! -
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. -
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. -
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!! -
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! -
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. -
We had a wonderful experience with our tutor Micaela. She helped our son not only academically but at every level. We will be forever grateful to have her in our lives. -

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. -
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.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH A WESTCHESTER ADHD COACH
OUR WESTCHESTER ADHD COACHES TRAVEL TO YOUR HOME:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can pose significant challenges for children and teenagers in their academic and personal lives. It can affect their ability to focus, manage their time and tasks effectively, and regulate their emotions. At Themba Tutors, we recognize the impact that ADHD can have on students’ success and well-being. Our Westchester ADHD coaches are dedicated to helping students overcome these challenges and reach their full potential.
Westchester ADHD Coach
Our Westchester ADHD coaches are experienced professionals who specialize in working with students with ADHD. They understand the unique challenges that ADHD can present and are trained to develop strategies that address each student’s specific needs. Our Westchester ADHD coaches work collaboratively with students, parents, and teachers to create an individualized plan focusing on building skills and managing symptoms.
Working with Parents
It can be challenging to parent a child with ADHD, and our ADHD coaches in Westchester understand the importance of working together with parents. Our coaches know that parents are the experts on their kids’ strengths, weaknesses, and needs because they know them best. Our Westchester ADHD coaches work with parents to establish a strong relationship and create a successful environment.
Our Westchester ADHD coaches keep parents up to date on their child’s progress through constant communication and provide guidance and resources to help them provide their child with the best care possible. They also offer resources and methods for parents to manage their child’s behavior at home and promote positive interactions.
Our coaches also help parents comprehend the accommodations and services provided to their children at school. To meet their child’s educational needs, they can assist parents in communicating with teachers and other staff members at the school. Working with parents, our Westchester ADHD coaches help create a more comprehensive and all-encompassing plan for supporting students with ADHD.
Creating an Individualized Plan
Each student with ADHD is unique, and our Westchester ADHD coaches work to create an individualized plan that addresses their specific needs. This plan may include strategies for improving executive function skills such as time management and organization, developing study skills, and building self-advocacy skills. Our Westchester ADHD coaches may also work with students to develop strategies for managing stress and anxiety, which can be particularly challenging for students with ADHD.
Academic Advising and Support
Along with helping students set and accomplish academic goals, our coaches offer academic counseling and support. They assist students in making study plans, setting priorities, and developing time management skills. In addition, our coaches offer advice on handling tasks, running projects, and getting ready for tests.
Our Westchester ADHD coaches also have a lot of experience working with students who face academic difficulties because of their ADHD. They are able to pinpoint and resolve particular academic issues like planning, time management, staying focused, and submitting assignments on schedule. To ensure the student’s success, our coaches use a thorough approach to provide individualized attention to their unique academic needs. They also work with professors and other academic experts to create a successful plan that considers each student’s particular learning style and aids in academic success. By identifying each student’s strengths and working with them to strengthen their areas of weakness, our coaches help students learn with greater confidence.
Developing Self-Advocacy Skills
Self-advocacy skills are essential for students with ADHD, as they enable them to communicate their needs and seek support effectively. Our Westchester ADHD coaches work with students to develop these skills, teaching them to identify their strengths and challenges, articulate their needs, and advocate for themselves in the classroom and beyond.
Reducing Stress and Anxiety
Students with ADHD frequently experience high stress and anxiety levels, which can harm their personal and academic lives. Our coaches provide methods for managing these emotions, such as mindfulness exercises and breathing exercises. They also help students develop coping skills for handling stress and anxiety in various situations.
Additionally, our coaches help students identify stress and anxiety triggers and come up with coping strategies. They offer suggestions on dividing big, difficult tasks into smaller, more manageable ones and prioritizing tasks to reduce stress. Our coaches equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to master them so they can more easily and confidently face challenges in their personal and academic lives.
Building Confidence and Self Esteem
Our Westchester ADHD coaches understand that students with ADHD may struggle with confidence and self-esteem. They work to build these qualities by celebrating student successes, helping them recognize their strengths, and developing strategies for overcoming challenges.
Conclusion: Making a Difference
At Themba Tutors, every student has the potential to succeed. Our Westchester ADHD coaches are committed to helping students with ADHD develop the skills and strategies they need to reach their goals and thrive academically and personally.

TESTIMONIALS
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.

We are parents of a bright college age son who, despite his intelligence, has struggled academically because of ADHD and executive functioning challenges. After a very difficult first three semesters at college, which deeply affected his confidence and self esteem, our son left school and for years was too discouraged to return, fearful of more failure. We reached out to Themba Tutors to recommend someone who could give him the support and encouragement he needed to return to school, and was referred to Jordan W. We could not have been happier with that referral. We had no idea whether our son would be willing to work with him, but Jordan’s warm and engaging nature won him over. With Jordan’s support, guidance and encouragement, our son went back to college! He is still a work in progress and has many challenges ahead, but we are, and will always be, grateful for Jordan’s kind and caring nature, intelligence and extraordinary patience in helping our son move forward. Thank you Jordan and thank you Themba Tutors.

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” as well as 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 a next developmental stage if needed and hope she is available, but trust that 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.
My son has ADHD and easily becomes overwhelmed and anxious with regards to test-taking. After his first tutoring session with Dr. Brooke, we knew it was a “good fit . She was able to quickly develop a great working rapport with my son. She understood that he needed to be gently challenged, praised and continually encouraged to keep him from becoming overly frustrated. His original PSAT score was a 26. Dr. Brooke helped him to bring his ACT score up to a 31. We can’t thank her enough!
-Hilary V.
Qi did a great job with my 14-year-old with ADHD. She helped her prioritize and pace herself to avoid becoming overwhelmed. Without her, my daughter probably would not have turned in some big pieces of homework at the end of the school year. I wish we had started with her earlier. Qi was calm and upbeat, and had lots of different strategies to try.
