Your student is smart. But the homework disappears, the test doesn't show what they know, and evenings are exhausting for everyone. I get it. As a former teacher, a tutor, and a parent of a child with ADHD, I've seen this from every side.
• Focused sessions with movement and brain breaks to keep attention up
• Big assignments broken into small, doable steps
• Visual, hands-on materials, including custom study guides and quizzes
• Confidence before content: small wins first, then harder skills
• Predictable routines so "what do I do now?" has an answer
• Text check-ins between sessions so your student isn't doing it alone
• Planners and calendars that actually get used
• Tracking homework and deadlines
• Time management and getting started on tasks
• Study skills and test-taking strategies
• Backpack, binder, and digital file organization
• 1-hour session with your student each week
• 2 half-hour sessions with parents each month
• Detailed summaries emailed after every student session
• Individualized Student Needs profile, updated as sessions progress
• Shared Google Drive to access custom materials:
• Customized question-and-answer banks for different subjects
• Customized study guides and quizzes
• Customized infographics to explain executive functioning skills and tools
• Customized calendars and planners
• Custom parent guide: what works for your student, step by step
• Monthly status report with how your student did for the past month and goals for upcoming lessons
Sessions happen over Zoom from home, with no commute, fewer distractions, and a familiar setting. I work with families in San Francisco and across the US. I share my screen and encourage students to share theirs so we can look at assignments and study guides together.
• 7+ years teaching science in charter, public, and independent K-12 schools
• I have experience and training working with ADHD and dyslexic students, including designing curriculum for them
• Stanford BA in Biology and Art History
• Master's in Clinical Neuroscience from University College London, so I understand how attention and learning actually work
• I myself am an ADHD parent, so I know the real-life version of homework time
• Relationship first. Students learn best when they feel understood
