Discover the Benefits of Individual ADD/ADHD Tutoring Online

For over 13 years, Successful Study Skills 4 Students, S4 Study Skills, has offered tutoring services to thousands of students in essential study skills, executive functions, and academic subjects. Our holistic approach guarantees that every student can reap the rewards of our expertise and support.

Our approach and tutoring processes are specifically designed to help students overcome the challenges associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). Our goal is to equip our students with the tools and strategies they need to succeed academically and in other areas of life. Our online ADD/ADHD tutoring approach is customized to meet the unique needs of each student.

What is ADD/ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects children, adolescents, and sometimes even adults. It is characterized by challenges in attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

Parents need to recognize that ADD and ADHD are more than just children being overly active or inattentive; it’s a complex medical condition that impacts various aspects of a child’s life.

There are two primary subtypes of ADHD: inattentive type and hyperactive-impulsive type, with some children displaying a combination of both.

Common signs and symptoms of ADHD include:

• Frequent loss of belongings
• Forgetfulness
• Difficulty organizing tasks
• Avoidance of activities requiring sustained attention
• Making careless mistakes

On the hyperactive-impulsive side, children may:

• Interrupt others
• Struggle to remain seated
• Fidget excessively
• Have difficulty waiting their turn

In an academic setting, students with ADD / ADHD can cause students to feel frustrated and overwhelmed, ultimately impacting their academic performance.

Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention can significantly improve a child’s quality of life and overall well-being.

How Online ADD/ADHD Tutoring Helps

Our online tutoring helps students with ADD and ADHD in more ways than regular schoolwork help. Creating lifelong study skills for children with ADD/ADHD can be daunting, yet with the right strategies, academic success is absolutely attainable.

Our approach is to give each child customized support and tools that fit their own unique needs. Our tutors’ extensive experience in working with ADD and ADHD students know not only to kids interested and focused, but also teach the skills, tools, and strategies they need to become independent learners.

We teach important study skills like managing time, organizing work, starting tasks, staying focused, and taking good notes. These skills help students do better in school and learn habits they can use their whole lives. Our tutors also show students how to break big tasks into smaller parts, choose what to do first, and avoid distractions.

We help students develop good study habits that match their long-term goals, boosting their motivation and helping them learn how to organize their work and study well.

The S4 Study Skills Individual ADD and ADHD Tutoring Program

The techniques and systems typically included in students’ neuropsychological evaluation reports offer benefits to all students, regardless of whether they have ADD/ADHD/executive function deficits or not.

We recognize the value of interactive teaching techniques that create active engagement and participation in the learning process. By emphasizing a learn-by-doing approach, we encourage students to apply their knowledge and skills practically, ensuring their learning is relevant and applicable.

Here are some of the skills, tools, and strategies we teach students with ADD/ADHD, and executive function challenges, as well as those without these challenges:

Creating a Structured Environment:

• Establishing a consistent routine to promote focus and reduce stress
• Collaborating with students to develop a daily schedule that includes homework, social time, and extracurriculars.

Planning and Using a Planner:

• Emphasizing the importance of meticulous planning to navigate complex schedules
• Encouraging the use of a well-maintained planner for better organization and stress management

Breaking Down Tasks into Manageable Chunks:

• Teaching students to divide assignments into smaller pieces for improved focus and reduced overwhelm
• Instilling a sense of accomplishment through tackling smaller tasks one at a time

Self-Advocacy:

• Guiding students to communicate their needs and challenges openly for empowerment and problem identification
• Promoting self-awareness and confidence in navigating challenging situations effectively

Encouraging Problem-Solving Skills:

• Teaching effective problem-solving techniques, including problem identification, brainstorming solutions, and evaluating options
• Equipping students with the tools to handle stressors and challenges independently

Our ADD/ADHD Tutoring Program Goes Beyond the Basics

Another important aspect of our online tutoring program is addressing coping strategies for stress and anxiety in students with ADD/ADHD. We recognize that these challenges can significantly impact a student’s academic performance and overall well-being.

The teenage years are a challenging phase in every child’s journey, and these complexities are often amplified when Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is in the mix.

Ignoring stress and anxiety can seriously affect your teenager’s mental health and academic performance. What’s worse, these emotional states can worsen symptoms of ADD/ADHD, leading to a problematic cycle that’s hard to break.

That’s why addressing these issues early on is crucial — it’s not just a luxury but a necessity. Proactively tackling these challenges is imperative, providing your teen with the tools to manage stress and emotions effectively. S4 Study Skills is committed to equipping your child for success, both academically and emotionally.
