What are the signs?

In most provinces, a doctor or psychologist diagnoses ADHD, never a tutor. A tutor helps with what you see at homework time, with or without a diagnosis.

01

Homework turns into a battle

Twenty minutes of work takes two hours, with breaks, tears and a lot of starting over.

02

Knows it, then loses marks

They understand it in class, then rush tests, skip steps or forget to hand work in.

03

Can’t get started

Big tasks and long instructions stall them, even when they really want to do well.

04

The same report card comments

Comments mention focus, organization or unfinished work more than the subject itself.

Help that starts where your child is

Many children with ADHD know more than their marks show. Look for a certified teacher who can make the work easier to start, follow and finish.

Homework without the battle

A long evening of restarting wears everyone out. A tutor can break homework into short work blocks, one step at a time, with a clear stopping point. You can ask the tutor to help your child build a routine they can repeat on their own.

  • A short plan before starting
  • One task at a time, checked as you go
  • A clear stopping point for each block
  • A routine your child can repeat alone

Staying on task

You may see your child drift off after a few minutes, even on work they like. A tutor can try timers, checklists and movement breaks to see what helps attention last longer. Ask the tutor to share which supports work, so you can use them at home too.

  • Short, predictable work blocks
  • Movement breaks planned into the lesson
  • Visual plans and checklists to follow
  • Supports you can reuse at home

Showing what they know on tests

Careless slips can hide what your child really knows. Look for a tutor who practises slowing down and checking each step with real tests from school. You can also ask for help planning study time before the next test.

  • Practice with real tests from school
  • A simple checklist for every question
  • A study plan for the week before
  • Strategies for rushing and skipped steps

Planners, deadlines and getting started

Assignments go missing, due dates come as a surprise and big projects wait until the night before. A tutor can help children break big assignments into small steps and keep track of what is due. Ask the tutor to set up a weekly planner your child can actually follow.

  • A weekly planner your child can follow
  • Big projects split into small steps
  • Help starting the hardest task first
  • A quick check of what is due

Questions parents ask

Does my child need an ADHD diagnosis to get a tutor?

No. Many families start while they wait for an ADHD assessment, which can take a while. Describe what homework time looks like, where focus slips and what already helps, and we match you with a tutor who has worked with ADHD.

How long are lessons for a child with ADHD?

It depends on your child's age and attention. Many younger children do best with shorter lessons and planned breaks. Talk with the tutor about what suits your child, and agree on a length together after the first few lessons.

Can the tutor work with my child’s IEP?

Yes. Share the IEP, report card comments or an assessment summary, and ask the tutor to work toward the same goals and accommodations the school uses. You can also choose a tutor who has worked with IEPs before.

Are the tutors certified teachers?

Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.

What if the teacher is not the right fit?

Let us know. You can ask for a different teacher, and our team will help you find a better match.

How do I get started?
