Tutoring for Neurodivergent Students

“We believe that every student learns in their own unique way and is capable of reaching their greatest potential. The school system applies a ‘one size fits all’ approach to students but we know that this is ineffective in reality.”

What do parents say?

Tutors are trained to support students with neurodivergence or learning difficulties. We can cater to students with learning difficulties including, but not limited to, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia.

  • Working backwards from the due date of assessments, breaking it down into bite-sized activities to reduce anxiety and procrastination.

  • Reflexive questions such as “Where are your thoughts right now?” and “Is this important to the task at hand?” help to develop self-awareness and self-leadership.

  • Creating written, visual or auditory plans can help with executive functioning. It also can help students understand the tasks at hand if they prefer visual modes of learning.

  • G - Goals: establish goals for the session

    R - Rubric and resources: address the class rubric and other available resources from the teacher

    O - Organise: organise a plan to tackle the assessment/topic 

    W - Weaknesses: create activities that help develop weaknesses

    T - Teach & Test: teach a concept and test it through practise/examples

    H - Homework: small activities to consolidate learning
